IBM Enterprise Records, Version 5.1.2   

Installing FileNet P8 core components on one or more servers

You must install the core components of the FileNet® P8 products before you install IBM® Enterprise Records.

About this task

The components that you install depend on the version of FileNet P8 you are using.
FileNet P8 V5.1 or earlier
If you want to use the IBM Enterprise Records administration client that is a plug-in to IBM Content Navigator, you do not need to install Application Engine or Workplace XT. However, if you want the traditional IBM Enterprise Records client, install Application Engine or Workplace XT on the same server as IBM Enterprise Records. You also need Content Engine and Process Engine on servers that connect to the server that is running IBM Enterprise Records.

If you are installing IBM Enterprise Records with Application Engine, the operating system or browser language of your web client must be set to the same locale as Application Engine, and Content Platform Engine must support the same locale as Application Engine.

If IBM Enterprise Records and either Application Engine or Workplace XT are configured for SSL, use Application Engine or Workplace XTJava™ applets on a client computer. You must then download a certificate and import the certificate into your Java plug-in keystore.

FileNet P8 V5.2
If you want to use the IBM Enterprise Records administration client, you need IBM Content Navigator and Content Platform Engine.

Procedure

To install or upgrade your core components:

  1. Install and configure a FileNet P8 system.
  2. Install and update Content Engine or Content Platform Engine to the latest patch levels that are compatible with IBM Enterprise Records. To determine the most current, compatible fix pack levels for the core components, see the IBM FileNet P8 Compatibility Matrix. To determine the latest requirements for IBM Enterprise Records, see the IBM Enterprise Records detailed system requirements page for details.
  3. If applicable, update Process Engine to the latest patch levels.
  4. If you are using the IBM Enterprise Records administration client, install and fully configure IBM Content Navigator. You need IBM Content Navigator if you are planning to use the newest IBM Enterprise Records user interface. However, if you are using the traditional IBM Enterprise Records client, install or update Application Engine or Workplace XT to the latest patch levels.
    Restriction: Running one installation of IBM Enterprise Records that is configured with both Application Engine and Workplace XT on the same server is not supported.
  5. If you want to use Crystal Reports, install the Content Engine Client files or the Content Platform Engine Client files and IBM Administration Console for Content Platform Engine or Enterprise Manager on the server where you install Crystal Reports. If your site is using the reports that are provided by IBM Enterprise Records, you must complete this step.
  6. Upgrade the Java virtual machine (JVM) to the latest JDK (Java Development Kit) version. You must complete this step on the servers where you are installing IBM Enterprise Records components.
