IBM Enterprise Records, Version 5.1.2   

Installing IBM Enterprise Records

You can install IBM® Enterprise Records components on a single server or on multiple servers. After you install the main IBM Enterprise Records components, you must install any fix packs.

Before you begin

Before you install IBM Enterprise Records, you must have the installed the IBM FileNet® P8 servers that are needed for your system. You also must install and configure the prerequisite software. These steps include completing procedures such as increasing the query page size, ensuring client installation directory access, and database and index preparations. Finally, you must complete the installation checklists.

About this task

To install IBM Enterprise Records, you must download the compressed installation files and install interactively or silently on one or more servers. You can distribute the IBM Enterprise Records software components among multiple servers. For both of these scenarios, you can install interactively or silently. For interactive installations, you complete the screens in the installation wizard. For silent installations, you must enter your values in a response file, and then run the installation from a command line.

The IBM Enterprise Records web application (administrative client) must be installed on the application server with Application Engine, Workplace XT, or IBM Content Navigator. However, you can install the other components on different servers. Before you install, ensure that your environment meets the minimum hardware and software requirements.

For all of the servers you are installing, you must check for the following requirements:
  • Ensure that you have enough disk space and temporary space for installation on all servers.
  • Ensure that you install supported versions of the JRE or JDK. If you use or want to use IPv6, ensure that you install a compatible version of the JRE for IPv6, such as the latest IBM JRE.
Important: APIs needed by the web application are automatically installed with the web application. API components can be installed separately.

To install IBM Enterprise Records:

  1. For multiple server installations, copy the installation files to the correct servers.
  2. Install IBM Enterprise Records, including tools, on each appropriate server in your environment.
  3. Install IBM Enterprise Records fix packs, if they are available.
