- 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.
- If errors occur during
installation, check the following files in the /tmp or /var/tmp directories.
- pe500_install_stderr.txt
- pe500_install_stdout.txt
- 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.
- 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.
- Log out and then log back in to the UNIX system.
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.
