The command line method provides a way to silently install
the Content Engine Client files.
You can use the values in your installation worksheet to edit the
silent input text file before you run the installation.
Be sure that you have available
the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your
planning activities.
Important: Be sure
that Content Engine is running
before you start installing Content Engine Client
files.
To install the Content Engine Client
files:
- Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet
file.
Tip: In the worksheet file, verify
that the command is enabled.
To view only Content Engine values,
filter by CE Client Installer in the Installation
or Configuration Program column.
- To download the latest software updates, and to determine
which of these updates might be required for use with other components
and expansion products, contact your service representative.
- On the machine where Process Engine is
installed, log on as pe_install_user with these
permissions:
- Read and write permission to a temporary directory, such as temp (Windows®) or tmp (UNIX®), on the machine where Process Engine is installed
- Execute permission on the Content Engine Client
installation software
- (UNIX) Read, write,
and execute permission on the directory that is to contain the installed Content Engine Client
- (Windows) Read & Execute and Write permission
on the folder that is to contain the installed Content Engine Client
- Verify that there is a current backup of Process Engine.
- Copy the Content Engine Client installation software
from the Content Engine installation
software to the temporary directory. The version of the client installation
software must match the version of Content Engine.
- Expand the compressed Content Engine Client installation software
file in the temporary directory.
- Make a backup copy of
the ceclient_silent_install.txt input file in
the temporary directory.
- Open the silent
input file in a text editor. Follow the instructions in the silent
input file to edit the file to reflect the appropriate responses for
your update. Use the values from your worksheet.
- Navigate to the temporary
directory path containing the Content Engine Client
installation program, and run the following command, where:
path is
the path that contains the installation program.
