FileNet P8 Content Engine, Version 5.0.+              

Installing Content Engine silently

When you install Content Engine silently, you run a command in the Content Engine software package that references parameters in an installation text file.

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

To install Content Engine:

  1. Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
    Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the Data > Filter > AutoFilter command is enabled. To view only Content Engine values, filter by CE Installer in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. Log on as ce_install_user to the application server machine where you are going to install Content Engine software.
  3. Navigate to the Content Engine software package in the installation media.
  4. Edit the ce_silent_install.txt file to reflect the installation choices in your worksheet.
  5. Run one of the following commands in the software package, depending on your operating system:
    Platform Command
    AIX® 5.0.0-P8CE-AIX.BIN -f ce_silent_install.txt
    HPUX 5.0.0-P8CE-HPUX.BIN -f ce_silent_install.txt
    HPUXi 5.0.0-P8CE-HPUXi.BIN -f ce_silent_install.txt
    Linux® 5.0.0-P8CE-LINUX.BIN -f ce_silent_install.txt
    Linux on System z® 5.0.0-P8CE-ZLINUX.BIN -f ce_silent_install.txt
    Solaris 5.0.0-P8CE-SOL.BIN -f ce_silent_install.txt
    Windows® 5.0.0-P8CE-WIN.EXE -f ce_silent_install.txt
  6. When the installation completes, check for errors in the Content Engine error log file ce_install_path/ce_install_log_5_0.txt, where ce_install_path is the location where Content Engine is installed.
  7. Check for errors in the p8_server_error.log file on the application server.
