FileNet P8 Workplace XT, Version 1.1.5       Application server:  WebLogic Application Server     

Deploying Workplace XT on WebLogic Server

To use Workplace XT as a Web application, you must deploy it as an application in the WebLogic Server Administration Console. You can specify the context root for the application URL during the deployment.

To deploy Workplace XT:

  1. From the WebLogic Server Administration Console, navigate to the domain you initially created for the Application Engine.
  2. Prepare the WebLogic Server Administration Console to deploy the application.
  3. Choose whether to deploy from an exploded folder, install_path/IBM/FileNet/WebClient, or from the WAR or EAR file, such as web_client.war or web_client.ear in install_path/deploy.
  4. Accept the defaults for the deployment, except for the name for the deployment. Use Workplace XT or the custom name you have chosen instead of web_client.
  5. Finish the deployment, and save and activate your changes.
    Tip: To verify that the deployment was successful, expand Web Applications. The web application Workplace XT is listed.
  6. After deployment is complete, start Workplace XT (or your custom application name) in the WebLogic Server Administration Console.
  7. (Windows only) From the Windows Services Console, restart the Process Workplace XT Services Manager service.
  8. Restart Process Task Manager and Component Manager.
  9. Exit the Process Task Manager application.
  10. By using the application server administration tool, verify that the Workplace XT application is running.
    1. Open a Web browser and type in the URL for the Workplace XT application.
      • If you are using a load-balancer or proxy server the URL has the form:
        Workplace XT
        http://virtual_name:port_number/WorkplaceXT
      • If connecting to an individual cluster node the URL would have the form:
        Workplace XT
        http://clustered_server_name:port_number/WorkplaceXT/
      Sign-in by using the virtual name to properly set the base Workplace XT URL. If it is not set correctly you must change it in Site Preferences.
    2. Verify that the sign-in page displays, and log in as a user.
    3. Fail one of the nodes.
    4. Verify that you can reload the sign-in page, and log in as the same user.

To troubleshoot the deployment, check the following log:

WLS_install_path/user_projects/domains/domain_name/servers/server_name/logs/server_name.log

Workplace XT requires that the client operating system has the Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) downloaded and installed. If JRE is not installed, users will be prompted to install the JRE on first login.
