FileNet P8 Workplace XT, Version 1.1.5         

Installing the latest Content Engine Client files on Workplace XT servers silently

The command-line method provides a way to silently install the Content Engine Client files. You can use the values in your installation worksheet to edit the silent input text file before you run the installation.

To install the Content Engine Client files:

  1. Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
    Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the Data > Filter > AutoFilter command is enabled. To view only Content Engine Client values, filter by CE Client Installer in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. To download the latest software updates, and to determine which of these updates might be required for use with other components and expansion products, see the IBM® FileNet® P8 Compatibility Matrix.
  3. Log on to the server where Workplace XT is installed as any user who has the following permissions:
    • Read and write permission to a temporary directory, such as temp for Windows or tmp for UNIX, on the machine where Workplace XT is installed.
    • Execute permission on the Content Engine Client install software.
  4. Copy the Content Engine Client install software from the Content Engine installation software to the temporary directory. The version of the install software must match the version of Content Engine.
  5. Expand the TAR or ZIP of the Content Engine Client install software within the temporary directory.
  6. Make a backup copy of the input file:
    CEClient_silent_install.txt
  7. Edit the silent input file to reflect the appropriate responses for your update. The silent input file provides instructions for editing the values. Use the parameters recorded in the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet for your installation.
  8. Navigate to the path containing the Content Engine Client installation program.
  9. Run one of the commands in the following table to perform the silent install. In the commands,

    CE_version is the version of your Content Engine, for example, 5.0.0.

    path is the path that contains the installation program.
