FileNet P8 Process Engine, Version 5.0.+            Operating systems:  AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Linux on System z, Solaris

Installing the Process Engine software interactively (UNIX®)

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

Install the Process Engine software and optionally configure the software to automatically start.
  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 the pe_install_user.
  3. Start the installation program.
    Platform Command
    AIX® 5.0.0-P8PE-AIX.BIN
    HPUX 5.0.0-P8PE-HPUX.BIN
    HPUXi 5.0.0-P8PE-HPUXI.BIN
    Linux 5.0.0-P8PE-LINUX.BIN
    Solaris 5.0.0-P8PE-SOL.BIN
    zLinux 5.0.0-P8PE-ZLINUX.BIN
  4. Check for the IBM_FileNet_Process_Engine_5.0.0_InstallLog.log file in the installation directory. The default installation directory is/opt/IBM/FileNet/ProcessEngine.
  5. If errors occur during installation, check the following files in the /tmp or /var/tmp directories.
    • pe500_install_stderr.txt
    • pe500_install_stdout.txt
  6. If you are installing Process Engine as a user other than the root user, manually edit /etc/inittab to set the pemgr process to automatically start after a reboot. Process Task Manager will not start if the pemgr process is not already running. Log on as a user with permission to edit the /etc/inittab file and add the following entry to that file:
    PEMR:2345:wait:/opt/IBM/FileNet/ProcessEngine/runstartpemgr
    where /opt/IBM/FileNet/ProcessEngine/ is the installation path for the Process Engine software.
  7. To manually start the pemgr process, change directories to the installation path for the Process Engine software and manually execute: runstartpemgr. You will be prompted for the password for the pe_install_user.
  8. Log out and then log back in to the UNIX system.
  9. High availability farmed server environments In a farmed configuration, if you are on node 1, 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 in the farm.
