You must configure the bootstrap settings. The
bootstrap information is needed for creating the Global Configuration Data (GCD) and for starting Content Engine.
Be sure that you have available the Installation and Upgrade
Worksheet that was filled out during your planning activities.
If your FileNet® P8 domain uses multiple non-managed
application servers, then complete this procedure only on the initial
server. You use a copy of the same EAR file with the bootstrap settings
on all the servers.
To edit the bootstrap settings:
- Open
your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the command is enabled. To view only Configuration Manager values, filter
by CM: Configure bootstrap properties in the Installation
or Configuration Program column.
- If
your configuration profile is not open in Configuration Manager, open the profile.
- Right-click Configure
Bootstrap Properties in the profile pane and select Edit
Selected Task.
- In the Bootstrap operation field,
select Configure New.
- Enter the
property values for your database by using the values in your worksheet.
- Optional: Click Verify Bootstrap Information to
display the bootstrap information from the modified EAR file.
- Click to
save your changes.
- Ensure that
the task is enabled. When the task is disabled, the task
name includes the text (disabled). To enable
the task, select Configure Bootstrap Properties (disabled) in
the profile pane, and then either right-click and choose Enable
Selected Task from the context menu, or click the Enable
the Selected Task icon in the task toolbar.
- Apply the bootstrap
property settings by right-clicking Configure bootstrap
properties in the profile pane, and select Run
Task. Running the configuration task can take
a few minutes. The task execution status messages are displayed in
the console pane below the bootstrap properties.
- Close the Configure
Bootstrap Properties task pane.
- If your FileNet P8 domain uses multiple non-managed
application servers, then copy the ce_install_path/ContentEngine/tools/configure/profiles/my_profile/ear/Engine-app_server_type.ear file
to each additional Content Engine server.
- install_dir
- The location where Content Engine is
installed.
- my_profile
- The directory for the Configuration Manager profile that you created.
- Engine-app_server_type.ear
- The EAR file for your application server type: Engine-ws.ear, Engine-wl.ear,
or Engine-jb.ear.
Important: Only run the Configure
bootstrap properties task on the initial server.
