FileNet P8 Application Engine, Version 5.0.+              

Upgrading Application Engine from 3.5

An upgrade from version 3.5 resembles a new install. You can choose to upgrade Application Engine interactively by using the upgrade wizard, or silently by using a silent input file.

  • If you plan to install and use the IBM® FileNet® Workplace XT product, you do not need to install Application Engine.
  • To ensure proper functionality and performance, only install one instance of Application Engine per application server (or virtual machine or WebSphere® Application Server LPAR). You can, however, deploy multiple instances of a single Application Engine version per application server. For details, see Deploying multiple Application Engine instances.
  • High availability clustered server environments In a highly available clustered server environment, perform the steps on all nodes in your cluster.
  • Before logging on to Workplace for the first time, at least one object store must exist on the Content Engine to hold the site preferences. See Creating the initial object store for more information.
  • You can install a new Application Engine 4.0.2 server within an existing 4.0 IBM FileNet P8 environment if your Content Engine is at version 401.006 or later and your Process Engine is at 403-000.001 or later. The Content Engine and Process Engine client files you install on the Application Engine must match the version of your Content Engine and Process Engine.
