FileNet P8 Application Engine, Version 5.2.1              

Installing Application Engine

To enable the web client application, Workplace, install Application Engine on a supported web application server. To complete the installation, provide the necessary parameter values to enable Workplace to access the information that is managed by Content Platform Engine.

About this task

Assume any references to the Content Engine in these topics apply to the Content Platform Engine.

High availabilityImportant: In a high availability environment, you must install Application Engine on all nodes in the application server configuration. Even in an application server cluster configuration the Application Engine provides components that run outside of the application server. These are only available through an Application Engine installation.

If you plan to install and use the IBM® FileNet® Workplace XT product, you do not need to install Application Engine.

To ensure proper functionality and performance, install no more than one instance of Application Engine per physical or virtual server. You can, however, deploy multiple instances of the Application Engine Java Enterprise Edition web application per physical or virtual server.

Before logging on to Workplace for the first time, at least one object store must exist on the Content Platform Engine to hold the site preferences. See Creating the initial object store for more information.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 5.x or higher have a security feature that can cause errors during installation. For details on resolving the issue before you install, see System requirements: Hardware and software requirements for IBM FileNet P8. Search for the term SELinux.

Important: Do NOT install this component unless it is supported at the release levels of your FileNet P8 environment. For information, see System requirements: Hardware and software requirements for IBM FileNet P8 and FileNet P8 Fix Pack Compatibility Matrices.
