Important: In the Process Engine client installation software
wizard, you can have the client installation program create the EnterpriseRecords.war and EnterpriseRecords.ear deployment files. Choose not to have the client installation program
create the deployment files. Later in this procedure, you run the IBM Enterprise
Records Configuration Manager
tool. In the tool, run the tasks in the Web Application Deployment
profile to create and deploy the deployment files.
Procedure

To install the Process Engine client files interactively: |
- Access the IBM FileNet® Process Engine client installation program.
- Run the version of the Process Engine client installation program that is appropriate for your
version of Process Engine and
platform.
- Select to run the client installation program for your IBM Enterprise
Records installation.
Important: Older versions of the Process Engine client installation program
might not recognize newer IBM Enterprise
Records installations. If the IBM Enterprise
Records option is disabled, indicating
that the client installation program did not find the existing IBM Enterprise
Records installation, select the
disabled instance of IBM Enterprise
Records. On the next panel, you can select the IER_install_directory where you installed the IBM Enterprise
Records component. After you select the path, complete the Client
installation. On some older patch levels of the Process Engine client installation programs,
you cannot select the disabled instance of IBM Enterprise
Records. In this case, use the
Other installation option and follow the instructions in the Process Engine client installation software
readme file.
If the Process Engine client
installation program does not locate the existing IBM Enterprise
Records installation, use the
following procedures. These procedures copy the Process Engine client files that are installed
to the user-specified location:- Copy the config, lib, and lib2 folders from PE_client_files_path\FileNet\RM\CommonFiles\PE_API to ier_install_path\CommonFiles\PE_API.
- Copy the contents of the PE_client_files_path\FileNet\RM\RecordsManager\WEB-INF\lib folder to ier_install_path\RecordsManager\WEB-INF\lib.
- Copy the listener.jar file from PE_client_files_path\FileNet\RM\FilePlanImportExportTool\lib to ier_install_path\FilePlanImportExportTool\lib ier_install_path\RecordsManagerSweep\lib ier_install_path\RecordsManager\WEB-INF\lib ier_install_path\RMTransfer\lib
