FileNet P8 Application Engine, Version 5.0.+              

Upgrading Application Engine from 4.0 interactively

You can use the installation wizard to upgrade Application Engine. To complete the upgrade, provide the necessary parameter values to enable the Application Engine client application, Workplace, to access the information that is managed by Content Engine.

To upgrade Application 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 Application Engine values, filter by AE Installer in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. Log on to the server where Application Engine is installed:
    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.

    Although the installing user must have write access to the /bin directory, the Application Engine installer does not write to that directory.

  3. Access the IBM® FileNet® Application Engine 4.0.2 installation software.
  4. Start the installation program.
    Platform Command
    AIX® P8AE-4.0.2.0-AIX.bin
    HPUX P8AE-4.0.2.0-HPUX.bin
    HPUXi P8AE-4.0.2.0-HPUX64.bin
    Linux® P8AE-4.0.2.0-LINUX.bin
    Solaris P8AE-4.0.2.0-SOL.bin
    Windows P8AE-4.0.2.0-WIN.exe
    Linux on System z® P8AE-4.0.2.0-ZLINUX.bin
  5. Complete the Application Engine installation program screens by using the values in your worksheet.

    In addition to the prompts for system-specific information, you can choose to deploy Application as a WAR file or an EAR file. If you decide to deploy Application Engine as a WAR file and later decide to redeploy as an EAR file you must uninstall Application Engine and then reinstall the application, selecting EAR file deployment.

  6. View the app_engine_install_log_4_0_2.txt file located, located in AE_install_path/Logs. Verify that no errors or failures were logged. Correct any errors before you proceed.
