You can install IBM® InfoSphere™ Enterprise Records in
a highly available IBM FileNet® P8 environment.
The installation of InfoSphere Enterprise
Records requires
the installation of Content Engine, Process Engine, and Application Engine or Workplace XT.
IBM InfoSphere Enterprise Records is the
new name for
IBM FileNet Records Manager. You might
see both names throughout the documentation.
Restriction: 
Ensure your system meets all prerequisites before
you install
InfoSphere Enterprise
Records to
a
IBM FileNet P8 highly available
environment. For information, see the
IBM FileNet P8 Hardware and Software
Requirements and the
IBM FileNet P8 Compatibility Matrix documents.

You can install
InfoSphere Enterprise
Records version
4.5.1 in highly available configurations by using standard application
server clustering software.
Tip: - This procedure covers installation of the InfoSphere Enterprise
Records Web application only.
- This procedure covers the specific details required for installing InfoSphere Enterprise
Records in an application server
cluster rather than on a standalone server.
- Typically, application servers provide their own clustering/farming
(the terminology differs by vendor) for achieving high availability
with a web application. Application servers use server farms to make
applications highly available. These are groups of identical servers
running the same application server, which in turn runs the same web
application. A load balancer will typically direct users to different
instances throughout the group of servers. When one server goes down
a user is automatically directed to an already running instance.
- For instructions on installing InfoSphere Enterprise
Records components such as the InfoSphere Enterprise
Records Sweep Application or Crystal
Reports.
- Complete the Security Administrator planning and preparation tasks
for InfoSphere Enterprise
Records.
To install and configure InfoSphere Enterprise
Records for high availability:
- Install a highly available Application Engine or Workplace XT and note the location
of the bootstrap.properties file. For
information, see IBM FileNet P8 High Availability
Technical Notice.
Restriction: Do not deploy Application Engine or Workplace XT. This step will be completed
as part of deploying the InfoSphere Enterprise
Records web
application.
- Install InfoSphere Enterprise
Records and
apply the relevant client file installers on each node in the cluster
where Application Engine or Workplace XT is installed.
- Configure the application server cluster for InfoSphere Enterprise
Records.
- Deploy Application Engine or Workplace XT and then InfoSphere Enterprise
Records.
- Perform any necessary post-deployment steps.
- Start Component Manager on all nodes in the server farm.
