You can install or upgrade Content Engine, Configuration Manager, .NET Clients (including IBM® FileNet® Enterprise Manager), Content Engine Upgrader, and FileNet Deployment Manager either interactively or silently.
Be sure that you have available the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your planning activities.
If you are installing in a managed environment, then the application server must be the Deployment Manager node for WebSphere® Application Server or the Administrator node for Oracle WebLogic Server.
If the Content Engine installer detects an existing Content Engine installation, the software will be upgraded.
Some Content Engine components can be installed only on a Windows® operating system. The following table lists the Content Engine components and the required operating system.
Component | Required Platform |
---|---|
Content Engine Server | UNIX® or Windows |
Configuration Manager | UNIX or Windows |
.NET Clients (including IBM FileNet Enterprise Manager) | Windows only |
Content Engine Upgrader | Windows only |
FileNet Deployment Manager | Windows only |
Install the .NET Clients software only on machines where you intend to run either the Enterprise Manager administrative client or a customized client application.
When
you install the Content Engine Server
software, the Content Engine Web
Upgrade Tool software is automatically also installed. If you intend
to use Content Engine Upgrader
instead of Content Engine Web
Upgrade Tool to upgrade Content Engine,
you must explicitly choose it as part of the Content Engine Server software installation.
The FileNet Deployment Manager is an optional component that you can use to deploy test systems into full production. See the IBM FileNet P8 help topic for details.
You can install or upgrade Content Engine interactively or silently.
