FileNet P8 Application Engine, FileNet P8 Process Engine, Version 5.0.+              

Upgrading the latest Process Engine Client files silently

You can upgrade the Process Engine Client software on the Application Engine by using a silent input text file and running the installation program from the command line. Use the values in your upgrade worksheet to edit the silent input text file before you run the upgrade.

High availability Important: In a highly available environment, you must upgrade the latest Process Engine Client files on all nodes.

To upgrade the Process Engine Client files:

  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 Process Engine values, filter by PE Client Installer in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. On the machine where Application Engine is to be deployed, 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 Process Engine Client install software.
  3. Copy the Process Engine Client install software from the Process Engine installation software to the temporary directory. The version of the install software must match the version of Process Engine.
  4. Expand the compressed Process Engine Client install software file within the temporary directory. The jre.tar file that is packaged with the Process Engine Client installer must be in the same directory as the Process Engine Client installer when the installer is run.
  5. The expanded install software contains the Process Engine Client install program specific to the operating system on the machine where Application Engine is deployed.
  6. In the expanded install software, open the file PEClient_silent_install.txt and change the Variable_CheckboxAE line to the following value:
    -V Variable_CheckboxAE="true"
  7. Choose one of the following commands to run the silent installation:
    Operating System Install Program
    AIX
    5.0.0-P8PE-CLIENT-AIX.BIN -silent 
    -options "PEClient_silent_install.txt"
    HPUX
    5.0.0-P8PE-CLIENT-HPUX.BIN -silent 
    -options "PEClient_silent_install.txt"
    HPUXi
    5.0.0-P8PE-CLIENT-HPUXI.BIN -silent 
    -options "PEClient_silent_install.txt"
    Linux
    5.0.0-P8PE-CLIENT-LINUX.BIN -silent 
    -options "PEClient_silent_install.txt"
    Solaris
    5.0.0-P8PE-CLIENT-SOL.BIN -silent 
    -options "PEClient_silent_install.txt"
    Windows
    5.0.0-P8PE-CLIENT-WIN.EXE -silent 
    -options "PEClient_silent_install.txt"
    Linux on System z
    P8PE-CLIENT-PE_version-ZLINUX.BIN -silent 
    -options "PEClient_silent_install.txt"
  8. For Process Engine upgrades from version 4.0 only, add required JAR files to the Component Manager library. Launch the Process Task Manager by running one of the following command files from the AE_install_path/FileNet/AE/Router directory, depending on your operating system:
    Option Description
    UNIX® routercmd.sh
    Windows® routercmd.bat
    1. In the Process Task Manager console, under Application Engine, Component Manager node, before starting up any existing router, click the Required libraries tab.
    2. Click Add and browse to /Router/lib.
    3. Select the following files to add:
      ContentExtendedOps.jar
      smtp.jar
      pe3pt.jar
