Upgrading the latest Content Engine client files on Process 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.

Important: Be sure that Content Engine is running before you start installing Content Engine Client files.
High availability Important: In a farmed or cluster server environment, you must upgrade the Content Engine client files on the Process Engine servers for every node in the farm or cluster.

To install the Content 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 Content Engine values, filter by CE Client Installer in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. To download the latest software updates, and to determine which of these updates might be required for use with other components and expansion products, contact your service representative.
  3. On the machine where Process Engine is installed, log on as pe_install_user with these permissions:
    • Read and write permission to a temporary directory, such as temp (Windows) or tmp (UNIX), on the machine where Process Engine is installed
    • Execute permission on the Content Engine Client installation software
    • (UNIX) Read, write, and execute permission on the directory that is to contain the installed Content Engine Client
    • (Windows) Read & Execute and Write permission on the folder that is to contain the installed Content Engine Client
  4. Verify that there is a current backup of Process Engine.
  5. Copy the Content Engine Client install software from the Content Engine installation software to the temporary directory, and unzip the software package. The version of the installation software must match the version of Content Engine.
  6. Access the IBM® FileNet® P8 Content Engine Client update software.
  7. Run one of the commands in the table below:
    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
    Solaris 5.0.0-P8CE-CLIENT-SOL.BIN
    Windows 5.0.0-P8CE-CLIENT-WIN.EXE
  8. Complete the installation program wizard by using the values from your worksheet.
  9. 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
