FileNet P8 Application Engine, Version 5.0.+              

Deploying each additional Workplace instance as an EAR file

You can choose to deploy your additional application instance as an EAR file. You must perform the additional configuration for each custom Workplace instance you plan to deploy.

  1. Modify the application.xml file located in the copied deploy directories, as follows:
    1. Open each instance of the application.xml file, for example, install_path/FileNet/AE/deploy1/META-INF/application.xml.
    2. Change the <display-name> and the <context-root> elements to your custom name, for example, Workplace1.
      <display-name>Workplace1</display-name>
      <description>FileNet Application Engine</description>
      
      <module>
      	 <web>
      		<web-uri>app_engine.war</web-uri>
      		<context-root>Workplace1</context-root>
      	</web>
      </module>
  2. In the create_app_engine_war file, set the install home and deploy directory to match your custom names.
    For example, you would make the following changes:
     install_home="/opt/FileNet/AE/Workplace1"
    "${install_home}/../_AEjvm/bin/jar" -cf "${install_home}/../  
    		deploy1/app_engine.war"*
  3. In the create_app_engine_ear file, set the install home, deploy directory, and EAR file to match your custom names.
    For example, you would make the following changes:
    install_home="/opt/FileNet/AE/Workplace1"
    cd "${install_home}/../deploy1"
     "${install_home}/../_AEjvm/bin/jar" -cvf "${install_home}/../  
    		deploy1/app_engine1.ear" META-INF *.war
  4. Delete the existing app_engine.war and app_engine.ear files.
  5. Create your custom WAR and EAR files by running the create_app_engine_war and then the create_app_engine_ear files.
  6. Deploy the EAR file for each custom Workplace instance according to the procedures for your application server type.
  7. Install any service packs, fix packs, or interim fixes required. To determine whether such additional software updates are needed, access the IBM® FileNet® P8 Platform support site.
