FileNet P8 Content Engine, Version 5.0.+              

Installing Content Engine

You must install the Content Engine software to place the binary files for its components on the server. You can install the software interactively with a wizard or silently from the command line.

Be sure that you have available the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your planning activities.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x has a security feature that can cause errors during installation. For details on resolving the issue before you install, see the IBM FileNet P8 Hardware and Software Requirements. In the guide, search for "SELinux".

You can install the Content Engine components shown in the following table. Note that some of the components can be installed only on Windows®.

Table 1. Content Engine components

Content Engine Server UNIX® or Windows Install this software as the major Content Engine component. When you install Content Engine Server, Configuration Manager is also installed.
Configuration Manager UNIX or Windows Install this software as the primary tool to configure and maintain Content Engine installations. When you install Content Engine Server, Configuration Manager is also installed.
.NET Clients (including Enterprise Manager) Windows only Install this software only on machines where you intend to run either the Enterprise Manager administrative client or a customized client application.
Content Engine Upgrader Windows only Install this software only if you are upgrading Content Engine data from version 3.5.2 and want to run a command-line upgrade instead of the GUI-based Content Engine Web Upgrade Tool (which is automatically installed with Content Engine Server) to do so.
