To enable the web client application, Workplace, install Application Engine on a supported web application server. To complete the installation, provide the necessary parameter values to enable Workplace to access the information that is managed by Content Engine.
If you plan to install and use the IBM® FileNet® Workplace XT product, you do not need to install Application Engine.
To ensure proper functionality and performance, only install one instance of Application Engine per application server (or virtual machine or WebSphere® Application Server LPAR). You can, however, deploy multiple instances of a single Application Engine version per application server.
Before logging on to Workplace for the first time, at least one object store must exist on the Content Engine to hold the site preferences. See Creating the initial object store for more information.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x has a security feature that can cause errors during installation. For details on resolving the issue before you install, see the IBM FileNet P8 Hardware and Software Requirements. In the guide, search for "SELinux".
