FileNet P8 Application Engine, Version 5.0.+              

Upgrading Application Engine silently

You can include the parameters for your Application Engine upgrade in a silent input file, and then run the upgrade from a command line.

To upgrade the Application Engine software silently:

  1. Log on to the application server, as appropriate for your operating system:
    Option Description
    UNIX Log on as a user with read, write, and execute access to the directory where you plan to install Application Engine.
    Windows Log on as a member of the local Administrators group or a user with equivalent permissions.
  2. Locate the IBM® FileNet® P8 Application Engine 4.0.2 installation software package, and copy the appropriate AE_silent_input.txt file to a local directory.
  3. Follow the instructions in the silent input file to edit the file to record the appropriate responses for your installation.
  4. Modify all instances of AE_install_path in the script as follows.
    UNIX

    Change ../FileNet/AE to ../FileNet

    Windows

    Change ..\FileNet\AE to ..\FileNet

    Change .\\Filenet\\AE to ..\\FileNet

  5. From a command prompt, navigate to and run the installer.
    UNIX
     ./P8AE-4.0.2.0-operating system.bin -options  
    path_to_edited_input_file/AE_silent_input.txt -silent
    Windows
     P8AE-4.0.2.0-Win.exe -options  
    path_to_edited_input_file\AE_silent_input.txt -silent
  6. View the app_engine_install_log_4_0_2.txt file, located in AE_install_path/AE/Logs.

    Verify that no errors or failures were logged. Look for the ERROR designation at the start of a line. Correct any errors before you proceed.
