- Customized Notes install kit – customized Notes install manifest (install.xml file in Notes install kit) and updateSite folder contents
You can customize the Notes standard configuration install kit to add additional third party features and plug-ins, remove certain supplied features (Composite Applications Editor, Feed Reader, IBM® Connections (Activities), embedded IBM Sametime® and Notes OpenSocial). You can also control feature install visibility and default options in the Notes installation panels or silent install prompts.
All features in the install manifest that have their required attribute set to true are installed. However, you can also specify features from the Notes install manifest as command line arguments.
- MSI transform file (a .mst file based on the IBM Notes version Social Edition.msi file supplied in the Notes install kit)
A transform file (.mst) is created by using the supplied IBMNotes.itw and IBM Notes version Social Edition.msi files in conjunction with the InstallShield Tuner for Notes, to configure various aspects of what you want installed and how.
You can use a transform file to control certain settings or install options such as the following.
Note: A transform can be used in conjunction with various silent install command line options and/or a customized Notes install kit.
- option to install with the Notes preloader enabled
- certain Domino® policy or NOTES.INI file settings
- single or multi-user install type
- For details on creating a transform file, see Obtaining a tuner and creating a transform file to customize Notes installation in the related information.
- Silent install command line options
Notes silent install can be run with or without MSI command line options to allow for further customization.
