In an upgrade from version 4.0 or later, the upgrade tool
verifies that the currently installed version of Application Engine can be upgraded. You can
choose to upgrade Application Engine interactively
by using the upgrade wizard, or silently by using a silent input file.
Be sure that you have available
the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your
planning activities.
- If you plan to install and use the IBM® FileNet® Workplace XT product, installing Application Engine is not required.
- To ensure proper functionality and performance, only install one
instance of Application Engine per
application server (or virtual machine or WebSphere® LPAR). You can, however, deploy
multiple instances of a single Application Engine version
per application server.
In a highly available clustered server environment,
perform the steps on all nodes in your cluster.
- 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.
