Upgrading the Process Engine software interactively (Windows)

You can upgrade the Process Engine by using the Process Engine installation wizard.

Install the Process Engine software.

  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 Process Engine values, filter by PE Installer in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. Log on to the Process Engine server as pe_install_user.
  3. Navigate to the Process Engine software package, and start the 5.0.0-P8PE-WIN.EXE installation program. Choose to automatically start the Process Engine Manager if prompted.
  4. Check for the IBM_FileNet_Process_Engine_5.0.0_InstallLog.log file in the installation directory. The default installation directory is C:\Program Files(x86)\IBM\FileNet\ProcessEngine\.
  5. If errors occur during installation, check the following files in the Temp directory as identified by the TEMP or TMP environment variable.
    • pe500_install_stderr.txt
    • pe500_install_stdout.txt
  6. If you received a message during installation that you were installing as a non-Administrator, log on as an Administrator after the installation and run the following commands to modify the Windows registry and create the Process Engine Manager service. Enter the following commands at a command prompt:
    >cd Process_Engine_program_files_install_location\installer
    >CreateVWServicesPE.bat
  7. Log out and log back in as an Administrator.
  8. Start the Process Engine Manager service and verify it is set to autostart.
  9. High availability In a farmed or cluster configuration, if you are on node one, make a copy of the installation_path/data/peseed.jar file. Copy the peseed.jar file from node 1 into the installation_path/data directory on every other node.
