You must install the Content Engine client
software, either interactively or silently in order to have a complete IBM® InfoSphere™ Enterprise Records installation and enable
IBM InfoSphere Enterprise Records to work with Content Engine. The Content Engine client software level must
match that of the Content Engine.
You must install the
Content Engine client software on all
servers where
InfoSphere Enterprise
Records components
have been installed:
- InfoSphere Enterprise
Records Web Application
server
- InfoSphere Enterprise
Records Disposition
Sweep server
- InfoSphere Enterprise
Records Hold Sweep
server
- InfoSphere Enterprise
Records Transfer
Tool server
- File Plan Import Export Tool server
- InfoSphere Enterprise
Records Crystal Reports
server
Important: In the Content Engine Client Installer wizard,
you have the option to have the client installer create the RecordsManager.ear and
the RecordsManager.war deployment files. If you
want to make custom changes to your InfoSphere Enterprise
Records XML files after the wizard
completes, choose not to have the client installer create the deployment
files. You can manually create the deployment files using the create_records_manager_ear.bat (Windows)
or create_records_manager_ear.sh (UNIX) file
that is provided in the install_location/FileNet/RM/deploy directory.
The create_records_manager_ear.bat or the create_records_manager_ear.sh file
creates the RecordsManager.ear and the RecordsManager.war files.
To install Content Engine Client
files:
- On the machine where InfoSphere Enterprise
