Take the following steps to silently upgrade Process Engine.
Install the Process Engine software.
- Open
your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the command is enabled. To view only Process Engine values, filter by PE
Installer in the Installation or Configuration
Program column.
- Log on to the Process Engine server as pe_install_user.
- Navigate to the Process Engine software
package.
- Edit the pe_silent_install.txt file
to reflect the appropriate responses for your installation. All
passwords in the response file must be encrypted.
- Save the edited response file to your temporary directory.
- Navigate to the temporary directory on the local disk.
- Open a command prompt and start the installation program:
5.0.0-P8PE-WIN.EXE -f pe_silent_install.txt
- Check
for the IBM_FileNet_Process_Engine_5.0.0_InstallLog.log file
in the installation directory. The default installation directory
is C:\Program Files(x86)\IBM\FileNet\ProcessEngine\.
- If errors occur during
installation, check the following files in the Temp directory
as identified by the TEMP or TMP environment variable.
- pe500_install_stderr.txt
- pe500_install_stdout.txt
- If you were installing as a non-Administrator, log on as
an Administrator after the installation and run the following commands
to modify the Windows registry and create the Process Engine Manager
service. Enter the following commands at a command prompt:
>cd Process_Engine_program_files_install_location\installer
>CreateVWServicesPE.bat
- Log out and log back in as an Administrator.
- Start the Process Engine Manager service and verify it
is set to autostart.
In a farmed or cluster configuration,
if you are on node 1, make a copy of the installation_path/data/peseed.jar file.
Copy the peseed.jar file from node one into the installation_path/data directory
on every other node.
