IBM FileNet P8, Version 5.2            

Updating the information center

If the information center on ibm.com has a later date than your local information center, download the latest IBM® FileNet® P8 Platform documentation updates. After you download the documentation updates, complete the following steps to update your deployed information center.

To add updated files to the information center:

  1. Stop the IBM FileNet P8 Platform information center application:
    Option Description
    WebSphere® Application Server Use the administrative console.
    Oracle WebLogic Server Use the Administration Console.
    JBoss Application Server Shut down the application server.
  2. Verify that no processes are accessing the documentation web application.
  3. Update the information center with the new documentation files:
    1. If your information center is compressed as a p8docs.war file (the default scenario), extract all files from the WAR file. You can use the jar -xvf p8docs.war command to extract the files. After the files have been extracted, rename the original p8docs.war file to retain the file as a backup.
    2. Copy the new plug-ins into the WEB-INF/eclipse/plugins directory, overwriting any existing files.
    3. To compress the information center files back into an updated p8docs.war file, use the jar -cvfM p8docs.war * command.
  4. Clear the information center cache. The information center stores navigation and search information in a cache in the Eclipse configuration directory. To clear the cache, you must delete all subdirectories in the Eclipse configuration directory.
    Important: Do not delete the config.ini file.
    For each web application server, the location of the Eclipse configuration directory varies depending on where the web application server stores its temporary files. Use the following list as a guide:
    Table 1. Eclipse configuration directory by web application server type
    Web application server Eclipse configuration directory
    WebSphere Application Server

    WEBSPHERE_HOME/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/profile_name

    For example:

    IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/temp/IBM-L3BB710Node01/server1/p8_iehs.war/p8_iehs.war/eclipse/configuration

    Oracle WebLogic Server

    WEBLOGIC_HOME/domains/base_domain/servers/AdminServer/tmp/_WL_user

    For example:

    BEA_home/bea/user_projects/domains/domain_name/servers/AdminServer/tmp/_WL_user

    JBoss Application Server

    JBOSS_HOME/server/default/

    For example:

    jboss/jboss/server/default/work/jboss.web/localhost/p8docs/eclipse/configuration

  5. Restart the information center application on the application server.
