ICE requires that you perform all steps sequentially within an activity, except in the following cases:
When an optional step is marked as excluded, it can be bypassed.
When steps are browsed, they can be browsed in any order.
When a CUSTOMIZE activity step is selected, the "Enforce Step Order" attribute is not activated between the major steps. For details about major steps, see Navigating within ICE. Any major step in the CUSTOMIZE activity can be selected without requiring a previous step to be completed.
When the value of the Enforce Step Order field is set to NO, steps can be taken in any order.
Note: This value should only be set to NO if you are advised to do so by BMC Customer Support.
Type YES in the Enforce Step Order field in the Main Menu before you proceed with the IOA installation process.
