After you download the new IBM® FileNet® P8 Platform documentation updates,
complete the following steps to update your deployed information center.
To add updated files to the information center:
- Stop the IBM FileNet P8 Platform information
center application:
Option |
Description |
WebSphere® Application
Server |
Use the administrative console. |
Oracle WebLogic Server |
Use the Administration Console. |
JBoss Application Server |
Shut down the application server. |
- Verify that no processes are accessing the documentation
web application.
- Update the information center with the new documentation
files:
- If your information center is compressed as a p8docs.war file
(the default scenario), extract all files from the WAR file. You
can use the jar -xvf p8docs.war command to
extract the files. After the files have been extracted, rename the
original p8docs.war file to retain the file as
a backup.
- Copy the new plug-ins into the WEB-INF/eclipse/plugins directory,
overwriting any existing files.
- To compress the information center files back into an
updated p8docs.war file, use the jar
-cvfM p8docs.war * command.
- Clear the information center cache. The information
center stores navigation and search information in a cache in the
Eclipse configuration directory. To clear the cache, you must delete
all subdirectories in the Eclipse configuration directory.
Important: Do not delete the config.ini file.
For
each web application server, the location of the Eclipse configuration
directory varies depending on where the web application server stores
its temporary files. Use the following list as a guide:
Table 1. Eclipse configuration directory by web application
server typeWeb application server |
Eclipse configuration directory |
WebSphere Application
Server |
WEBSPHERE_HOME/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/profile_name
For
example:
IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/temp/IBM-L3BB710Node01/server1/p8_iehs.war/p8_iehs.war/eclipse/configuration
|
Oracle WebLogic Server |
WEBLOGIC_HOME/domains/base_domain/servers/AdminServer/tmp/_WL_user
For
example:
BEA_home/bea/user_projects/domains/domain_name/servers/AdminServer/tmp/_WL_user
|
JBoss Application Server |
JBOSS_HOME/server/default/
For
example:
jboss/jboss/server/default/work/jboss.web/localhost/p8docs/eclipse/configuration
|
- Restart the information center application on the application
server.
