Integrated Solutions Console (ISC) Introduction
Integrated Solutions Console (ISC) is an integrated solution console developed by IBM. Its design goal is to provide a set of standard framework and unified interface style for the related web management products. ISC can be run in different web containers, such as WebSphere, Light Weight infrastructure (LWI). This article will introduce the ISC running in the LWI environment. The Lwimax Zip package for the integrated ISC software package can be downloaded on the LWI build page.
When you start LWI, you can see the ISC interface as shown in Figure 1 after the login is successful:
Figure 1. ISC Principal Interface
The ISC interface is mainly divided into four parts. The top 1 is the basic state area that contains the product name, login related information, exit links, and help links. The left Part 2 is the left navigation tree area, and each tree node corresponds to the bundle deployed in ISC. Section 3 on the right is the task bar (task bar) area. The next section 4 is the principal Portlet interface. 1, 2, 3 of the interface are provided by ISC, 4 of the interface provided by the specific bundle.
The following describes how to deploy and delete a bundle in ISC in a LWI environment.
Deploy a bundle in ISC
Step 1. Prepare your bundle (component).
A bundle contains site.xml files, plugins folders, and features folders. Figure 2 is an example of the bundle file structure.

The Site.xml file for this example reads as follows:
