InfoSphere Enterprise Records, Version 4.5.1.3+              

Components installed by the setup program

You can install individual IBM® InfoSphere™ Enterprise Records components, such as InfoSphere Enterprise Records API and the InfoSphere Enterprise Records Disposition Sweep and Hold Sweep, by using the InfoSphere Enterprise Records setup program in custom installation mode.

The following is a list of InfoSphere Enterprise Records components that can be installed by the InfoSphere Enterprise Records setup program:
InfoSphere Enterprise Records Web Application
This component provides a Web-based application that enables you to configure the InfoSphere Enterprise Records environment and perform various records management tasks.
You must install the InfoSphere Enterprise Records Web Application on the same server as the Application Engine or Workplace XT.
Restriction: Running InfoSphere Enterprise Records with both an Application Engine and a Workplace XT system on the same server is not supported.

If you install InfoSphere Enterprise Records on a server where both an Application Engine and a Workplace XT system are installed, you must configure InfoSphere Enterprise Records to work with either the Application Engine or the Workplace XT system, and not both.

If Application Engine and Content Engine are collocated, verify that the server is appropriately sized before you add InfoSphere Enterprise Records.
InfoSphere Enterprise Records must run on the same Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM) as Application Engine or Workplace XT.
InfoSphere Enterprise Records 4.5.1 on FileNet® P8 Platform 4.5 or 5.0 InfoSphere Enterprise Records 4.5.1 on FileNet P8 Platform 4.0
For information on Application Engine, see the following Plan and Prepare Your Environment for IBM FileNet P8 tasks, as appropriate for your application server environment:
  • Configure Application Engine or Workplace XT (WebSphere® Application Server)
  • Configure Application Engine or Workplace XT (WebLogic Server)
  • Configure Application Engine or Workplace XT (JBoss Application Server)
For information on Application Engine, see the following IBM FileNet P8 Platform Installation and Upgrade Guide tasks, as appropriate for your application server environment:
  • Configure an Application Server for Application Engine (WebSphere Application Server)
  • Configure an Application Server for Application Engine (WebLogic Server)
  • Configure an Application Server for Application Engine (JBoss Application Server)
 
For information on IBM FileNet Workplace XT, see the following IBM FileNet Workplace XT Installation and Upgrade Guide tasks, as appropriate for your application server environment:
  • Configure Workplace XT (WebSphere Application Server)
  • Configure Workplace XT (WebLogic Server)
  • Configure Workplace XT (JBoss Application Server)
InfoSphere Enterprise Records API
This component includes the JAR files that provide interfaces and classes for creating a custom application or customizing records-related operations.

The InfoSphere Enterprise Records Web Application requires the InfoSphere Enterprise Records API, which is automatically installed with this component (automatically selected for a custom installation). For custom installations, if you do not plan to install the InfoSphere Enterprise Records Web Application, you can install the InfoSphere Enterprise Records API component on any developer system. The InfoSphere Enterprise Records API JAR files do not need to be collocated with any IBM FileNet P8 component.

InfoSphere Enterprise Records Disposition Sweep and Hold Sweep
These components include the files required for configuring the Disposition Sweep and Hold Sweep processes and for scheduling the sweep tasks. These components are used to manage the disposition and holding of records based on a defined schedule.

You can install the sweep components on any server. The components do not need to be collocated with the InfoSphere Enterprise Records Web Application or any other IBM FileNet P8 core component, such as the Content Engine.

Tip: Testing has shown that installing the sweep components on the Content Engine server helps to ensure fast access to the object store for sweep calculations. To install only these components on the Content Engine server, run the InfoSphere Enterprise Records installer on the Content Engine and use the Custom installation option. For more information, see Installing InfoSphere Enterprise Records on multiple servers.
File Plan Import Export tool
This component enables you to import an external file plan, or export a file plan to an external environment.
Tip: Testing has shown that installing the File Plan Import Export Tool on the Content Engine server helps ensure fast access to the object store. To install this component on the Content Engine server, run the InfoSphere Enterprise Records installer on the Content Engine and use the Custom installation option. For more information, see Installing InfoSphere Enterprise Records on multiple servers.
Transfer tool
This component enables you to transfer active records and record folders to an external system for permanent archiving. For more information, see Installing InfoSphere Enterprise Records on multiple servers.
