The Installation and Upgrade
Worksheet is a Microsoft Excel
spreadsheet (p8_worksheet.xls). The worksheet
describes the properties and parameters required to complete IBM® FileNet® P8 installation, upgrade,
and configuration programs, and provides a way to record the values
you assign to these properties and parameters.
Administrators who are preparing the environment for installation
or upgrade of IBM FileNet P8 components
must use the worksheet during their preparation tasks to record the
appropriate values and provide them to the Installation Administrator
who runs the installation or upgrade programs.

search results until you have enough information to be able to enter
