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.
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.
