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.
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:
- Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet
file.
Tip: In the worksheet file, verify
that the command is enabled.
To view only Content Engine values,
filter by CE Client Installer in the Installation
or Configuration Program column.
- 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.
- 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
- Verify that there is a current backup of Process Engine.
