FileNet P8 Content Search Engine, Version 5.0.+            Operating systems:  Windows

Installing IBM Legacy Content Search Engine interactively (Windows®)

To install IBM® Legacy Content Search Engine interactively, you run a program wizard.

High availability Note: If you are installing IBM Legacy Content Search Engine in a high availability environment, you must run the IBM Legacy Content Search Engine installer on each node, selecting the shared directory as the IBM Legacy Content Search Engine installation path. Verify that your cluster is running before starting the installation procedure.

To install IBM Legacy Content Search Engine interactively:

  1. Verify that you have performed the required preparation tasks as shown in the Plan and Prepare Your Environment for IBM FileNet® P8 guide.
  2. 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 IBM Legacy Content Search Engine values, filter by CSE Installer in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  3. Log on to the host machine as k2_os_user.
  4. Access the IBM Legacy Content Search Engine installation package and run the 5.0.0-P8CSE-WIN.EXE file.
  5. Complete the installation program screens by using the values in your worksheet.
    High availability In a highly available environment, use the following additional information:
    • Use the shared binary location as the installation location (verity_install_path). This must be a local shared cluster disk.
    • In the Select Autonomy K2 Server Type screen, select Master Administration Server.
    • In the Specify Master Administration Server Information screen, use the host name of the cluster rather than the host name of the local cluster node.
      Important: For Windows 2008 MSCS, use the virtual name defined for the Service or Application resource when specifying the Master Administration Server Information.
    • When the installer has finished, K2 will be running. Stop the Verity K2 Administration Server and the Verity K2 Administration Web Server services before failing to another node.
  6. Review the following IBM Legacy Content Search Engine log files for installation errors. The files are located in the verity directory of the installation path:
    • verity_install_path\cse_install_log_5.0.0.log
    • verity_install_path\vconfig.log

    It is a best practice to review log files even if the IBM Legacy Content Search Engine installation program does not indicate any errors. Some errors noted in the log files are benign. If an error is not benign (that is, you cannot subsequently index or search for documents), refer to the log file for help in determining the cause.

  7. High availability If you are installing in a highly available environment, fail over to another node and repeat the install process with the same parameters until you have installed IBM Legacy Content Search Engine on all nodes.
  8. After the installation finishes, complete the following substeps:
    1. Verify that the Verity K2 Administration Web Server service (Tomcat server) is installed and has started.
    2. Verify that the Verity K2 6.2.1 Administration Server service exists.
