Installing the latest Content Engine Client files on Application Engine servers interactively

The installation wizard provides an interactive way to install the Content Engine Client files. You can use the values you collected on your worksheet to fill in the required value for each field on the wizard screens.

Be sure that you have available the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your planning activities.

To install the Content Engine Client files interactively:

  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 Content Engine values, filter by CE Client Installer in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. On the machine where Application Engine is installed, log on as any user who has the following permissions:
    • Read and write permission to a temporary directory, such as temp (Windows®) or tmp (UNIX®), on the machine where Application Engine is installed
    • Execute permission on the Content Engine Client install software
  3. Verify that there is a current backup of the Application Engine.
  4. Copy the Content Engine Client installation software from the Content Engine installation software to the temporary directory. The version of the client installation software must match the version of Content Engine.
  5. Expand the compressed Content Engine Client installation software file in the temporary directory.
  6. Close all instances of Workplace and any other Application Engine client applications. From the application server administrative console, stop and undeploy Application Engine.
    Option Description
    WebSphere® Application Server Stop and undeploy the Application Engine Web application.
    Oracle WebLogic Server Stop and undeploy the Application Engine Web application.
    JBoss Application Server Run the shutdown command.
  7. (WebLogic Server only) Manually delete the following application server cache directories and substitute your domain name in place of mydomain:
    Option Description
    WebLogic Server on UNIX

    /opt/bea/user_projects/domains/mydomain/servers/AdminServer/tmp/_WL_user/app_engine

    /opt/ bea/user_projects/domains/mydomain/servers/.wlnotdelete

    /opt/bea/user_projects/domains/mydomain/servers/AdminServer/cache/EJBCompilerCache

    WebLogic Server on Windows

    C:\bea\user_projects\domains\mydomain\servers\AdminServer\tmp\_WL_user\app_engine

    C:\bea\user_projects\domains\mydomain\servers\.wlnotdelete

    C:\bea\user_projects\domains\mydomain\servers\AdminServer\cache\EJBCompilerCache

  8. Access the IBM FileNet Content Engine client update software in the temporary directory.
  9. Start the installation program by running on of the following commands:
    Operating System Install Program
    AIX 5.0.0-P8CE-CLIENT-AIX.BIN
    HPUX 5.0.0-P8CE-CLIENT-HPUX.BIN
    HPUXi 5.0.0-P8CE-CLIENT-HPUXI.BIN
    Linux 5.0.0-P8CE-CLIENT-LINUX.BIN
    Solaris 5.0.0-P8CE-CLIENT-SOL.BIN
    Windows 5.0.0-P8CE-CLIENT-WIN.EXE
    Linux on System z 5.0.0-P8CE-CLIENT-ZLINUX.BIN
  10. Complete the installation screens by using the values from your installation worksheet.
  11. When the installation completes, check the Content Engine Client log file for errors. The path to the log file depends on the type of operating system on the machine where you installed the Content Engine Client files:
    Operating System Path to Log File
    UNIX /opt/IBM/FileNet/CEClient/ceclient_install_log_5_0.txt
    Windows C:\Program Files\IBM\FileNet\CEClient\ceclient_install_log_5_0.txt
