FileNet P8 Content Engine, Version 5.0.+              

Deploying upgraded instances by using the graphical user interface

You can deploy an upgraded Content Engine Server instance on a web application server by using the graphical user interface version of Configuration Manager. Deploying makes the Content Engine application available for use.

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

Make sure that the application server is running or stopped, depending on its type:

Table 1. Required Application Server State
Option Description
WebSphere® Application Server Start the application server if it is not already running.
JBoss Application Server Stop the application server.
WebLogic Server Start the application server if it is not already running.
High availability Important: When deploying Content Engine in a highly available environment you must specify the cluster as the deployment target.

For more information on the properties and values you set in the Configuration Manager, roll your mouse over the property name to view the tool tip help for the property.

To deploy Content Engine:

  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 Content Engine values for this task, filter by CM: Deploy Application in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. Log on to the application server machine as config_mgr_user, the Configuration Manager user.
  3. Start Configuration Manager. See Starting Configuration Manager.
  4. Select File > Open Configuration Profile, and use the information in your worksheet to specify the values for the parameters in the wizard screens.
  5. In the Open Configuration Profile wizard, enter the path to the profile for the Content Engine instance, and then click Finish.
  6. Right-click the Deploy Application task in the profile pane (left pane), and select Edit Selected Task.
  7. Provide the property values for your deployment by using the values in your worksheet.
  8. Select File > Save.
  9. Enable the task. By default, the Deploy Application task is disabled. When the task is disabled, the task name includes the text (Disabled). To enable the task, select Deploy Application (Disabled) in the profile pane, and then either right-click and choose Enable Selected Task from the context menu, or click the Enable the Selected Task icon in the task toolbar.
  10. Right-click the Deploy Application task in the left pane, and select Run Task.

    Running the deploy task might take a few minutes. The task execution status messages are displayed in the Console pane below the deploy application properties.

  11. Return to the parent topic and complete the task.
