FileNet P8 Application Engine, Version 5.0.+              

Upgrading Application Engine from 4.0 silently

You can include the parameters for your Application Engine upgrade in a silent input file, and then run the upgrade from a command line.

To install the Application Engine software silently:
  1. Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
    Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the Data > Filter > AutoFilter command is enabled. To view only Application Engine values, filter by AE Installer in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. Log on to the server where Application Engine is installed:
    Option Description
    UNIX® Log on as a user with read, write, and execute access to the directory where you plan to install Application Engine.
    Windows® Log on as a member of the local Administrators group or a user with equivalent permissions.

    Although the installing user must have write access to the /bin directory, the Application Engine installer does not write to that directory.

  3. Edit the silent input file to reflect the appropriate responses for your upgrade by following the instructions in the file and the values in your worksheet.
  4. From a command prompt, navigate to the installer and run it.
    UNIX
     ./P8AE-4.0.2.0-operating system.bin -options  
    path_to_edited_input_file/AE_silent_input.txt -silent
    Windows
     P8AE-4.0.2.0-Win.exe -options  
    path_to_edited_input_file\AE_silent_input.txt -silent
  5. View the app_engine_install_log_4_0_2.txt file, located in AE_install_path/AE/Logs.

    Verify that no errors or failures were logged. Look for the ERROR designation at the start of a line. Correct any errors before you proceed.
