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:
- Install and configure a FileNet P8 system.
- 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.
- If applicable, update Process Engine to the latest patch levels.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
