You must install the IBM® FileNet® P8 Platform information center as
a Web application on a supported application server to view and search
product documentation. When you install the information center interactively,
you run a wizard that prompts you for an installation path for the
information center WAR file.
Before you install the FileNet P8 information center, you
must ensure that you have Java™ support
enabled on the application server you choose.
You can collocate
the documentation information center on an application server with
either Application Engine or Content Engine server components installed.
You can also install it on a separate application server.
Depending
on your operating system and application server levels, your options
might be slightly different from the options that are documented.
Be
sure that you have available the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet
that was completed during your planning activities.
To install the IBM FileNet P8 Platform information center interactively:
Open your completed Installation and Upgrade
Worksheet file. Tip: In the worksheet file,
verify that the command is enabled.
To view only documentation installation values, filter by IC
Installer in the Installation or Configuration
Program column.

- Log on to the application server where you are installing
the information center:

- Complete the installation program screens by using the
values from your worksheet.
- When the installation completes, check for errors in the
information center error log file ic_install_path/p8ic_install_log_5_0.txt,
where ic_install_path is the location where the
information center p8docs.war file is installed.
- Deploy the p8docs.war on
your application server. The deployment might take several
minutes because of the size of the documentation files.
Option |
Description |
WebSphere® Application
Server |
From the WebSphere administrative
console, install the p8docs.war file as a Web
application by using p8docs as the context root. Tip: In the configuration windows, you can accept
the default values for all choices. In addition, ensure that you save
to the primary configuration when prompted.
|
Oracle WebLogic Server |
From the WebLogic administrative console, install the p8docs.war file
as a new Web application. Tip: If you would prefer not
to deploy the p8docs.war file directly, you can
first extract the entire p8docs directory structure
to the local hard drive and deploy from there.
|
JBoss Application Server |
After you ensure that the p8docs.war file
is in the /server/default/deploy directory, navigate
to the /bin directory and start the run command
file for your operating system. Tip:
If you would
prefer not to deploy the p8docs.war file directly,
extract the p8docs.war file to a deployable p8docs.war directory
in the /server / default / deploy directory
path. |
