FileNet P8 Content Engine, Version 5.0.+              

Installing or upgrading Content Engine

You can install or upgrade Content Engine, Configuration Manager, .NET Clients (including IBM® FileNet® Enterprise Manager), Content Engine Upgrader, and FileNet Deployment Manager either interactively or silently.

Be sure that you have available the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your planning activities.

If you are installing in a managed environment, then the application server must be the Deployment Manager node for WebSphere® Application Server or the Administrator node for Oracle WebLogic Server.

If the Content Engine installer detects an existing Content Engine installation, the software will be upgraded.

Some Content Engine components can be installed only on a Windows® operating system. The following table lists the Content Engine components and the required operating system.

Table 1. Content Engine components
Component Required Platform
Content Engine Server UNIX® or Windows
Configuration Manager UNIX or Windows
.NET Clients (including IBM FileNet Enterprise Manager) Windows only
Content Engine Upgrader Windows only
FileNet Deployment Manager Windows only

Install the .NET Clients software only on machines where you intend to run either the Enterprise Manager administrative client or a customized client application.

Start of changeWhen you install the Content Engine Server software, the Content Engine Web Upgrade Tool software is automatically also installed. If you intend to use Content Engine Upgrader instead of Content Engine Web Upgrade Tool to upgrade Content Engine, you must explicitly choose it as part of the Content Engine Server software installation.End of change

Important: You must keep one running version of Enterprise Manager version 3.5.2 until after you upgrade the Content Engine data. You must use Enterprise Manager version 3.5.2 to prepare your version 3.5.2 object stores for the Content Engine data upgrade.

The FileNet Deployment Manager is an optional component that you can use to deploy test systems into full production. See the IBM FileNet P8 help topic Deploying IBM FileNet P8 applications > Get started with FileNet Deployment for details.

You can install or upgrade Content Engine interactively or silently.
