Content Platform Engine, FileNet P8 Workplace XT, Version 5.1Version 1.1.5              

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

The installation wizard provides an interactive way to install the Content Engine Client files. You can use the values from your worksheet to fill in the required value for each field on the wizard screens.

Important: If you are performing a staged upgrade, and are upgrading Workplace XT before you upgrade the Content Engine server to 4.5 or later, do not perform this task. You can return to update the Content Engine Client files after you upgrade Content Engine to version 4.5 or later.
Important: In a highly available environment, you must install the latest Content Engine client files on all nodes.

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. Verify that there is a current backup of Workplace XT.
  5. 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.
  6. Expand the TAR or ZIP of the Content Engine Client install software within the temporary directory.
  7. Close all instances of Workplace XT and any other client applications. From the application server administrative console, stop and undeploy Workplace XT.
    Option Description
    WebSphere® Application Server Stop and undeploy the Workplace XT application.
    WebLogic Server Stop and undeploy the Workplace XT application.
    JBoss Application Server Run the shutdown command.
  8. (WebLogic Server only) Manually delete the following application server cache directories, substituting your domain name in place of mydomain:
    Option Description
    WebLogic Server UNIX

    /opt/bea/user_projects/domains/mydomain/servers/AdminServer/tmp/_WL_user/web_client

    /opt/ bea/user_projects/domains/mydomain/servers/.wlnotdelete

    /opt/bea/user_projects/domains/mydomain/servers/AdminServer/cache/ EJBCompilerCache

    WebLogic Server Windows

    C:\bea\user_projects\domains\mydomain\servers\AdminServer\tmp\_WL_user\web_client

    C:\bea\user_projects\domains\mydomain\servers\.wlnotdelete

    C:\bea\user_projects\domains\mydomain\servers\AdminServer\cache\EJBCompilerCache

  9. Access the Content Engine Client update software.
  10. Run the command for your operating system. CE_version is the version of your Content Engine, for example, 4.5.1.
    Operating System Install Program
    AIX® P8CE-CLIENT-CE_version-AIX.BIN
    HPUX P8CE-CLIENT-CE_version-HPUX.BIN
    HPUXi P8CE-CLIENT-CE_version-HPUXI.BIN
    Linux P8CE-CLIENT-CE_version-LINUX.BIN
    Solaris P8CE-CLIENT-CE_version-SOL.BIN
    Windows P8CE-CLIENT-CE_version-WIN.EXE
    Linux on System z® P8CE-CLIENT-CE_version-ZLINUX.BIN
  11. Complete the installation program screens using the parameters you collected in the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet.

    You can specify on the installation program which applications you want to update. If the installation program does not automatically detect Workplace XT, select it on the appropriate panel.

    You can also choose to have the installation program create the deployment file, or create the file later. If you have additional configuration to perform, you can defer the file creation to avoid running multiple processes to create the same file.
