When you install the product package with IBM® Installation Manager, the installation wizard displays the features that are available in Rational® Publishing Engine. From the Features list, you can select which features you want to install on a particular system. A default set of features is selected for you. Installation manager automatically enforces any dependencies between features and prevents you from installing a feature without also installing its dependent feature.
These tables show the features and components of Rational Publishing Engine that you can install. The list of default features and components might vary depending on what features exist on your shared resources directory.
