Content Platform Engine, Version 5.2.1              

Configuring the bootstrap and text extraction settings

The bootstrap settings are for creating the global configuration database (GCD) and for starting Content Platform Engine. The text extraction setting is needed for updating the Content Platform Engine EAR file with the IBM® Content Search Services API JAR files and text extraction modules.

Before you begin

Be sure that you have available the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was filled out during your planning activities.

If you plan to configure Content Platform Engine to use the directory server's email attribute (or for Active Directory, the userPrincipalName) as the user short name that is used for login, then you must perform additional configuration steps and enter specific values for your bootstrap settings. For detailed steps, see Configure Content Platform Engine to use email or UPN for login.

If your FileNet® P8 domain uses multiple non-managed application servers, then complete this procedure only on the initial server. You use a copy of the same EAR file with the bootstrap settings on all the servers.

About this task

To edit the bootstrap settings and text extraction:

Procedure

  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 Configuration Manager values, filter by CM: Configure bootstrap properties in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. If your configuration profile is not open in Configuration Manager, open the profile. The Configuration Manager profile is the one you created to perform the upgrade.
  3. Right-click Configure Bootstrap Properties and Text Extraction in the profile pane and select Edit Selected Task.
  4. In the Bootstrap operation field, select Upgrade.
  5. In the Bootstrapped EAR file field, verify that Engine-app_server_type.ear is the file that you used for the existing system deployment.
  6. Click File > Save to save your changes.
  7. Ensure that the task is enabled. When the task is disabled, the task name includes the text (disabled). To enable the task, select Configure Bootstrap and Text Extraction (disabled) in the profile pane, and then right-click and click Enable Task from the menu.
  8. Apply the bootstrap property settings by right-clicking Configure Bootstrap and Text Extraction in the profile pane, and select Run Task. Running the configuration task can take a few minutes. The task execution status messages are displayed in the console pane below the bootstrap properties.
  9. Optional: Click View Bootstrapped EAR Information to display the bootstrap information from the modified EAR file.
  10. Close the Configure Bootstrap Properties and Text Extraction task pane.
  11. If your FileNet P8 domain uses multiple non-managed application servers, then copy the ce_install_path/ContentEngine/tools/configure/profiles/my_profile/ear/Engine-app_server_type.ear file to the profiles directory on each additional Content Platform Engine server.
    ce_install_path
    The location where Content Platform Engine is installed.
    my_profile
    The directory for the Configuration Manager profile that you created.
    Engine-app_server_type.ear
    The EAR file for your application server type: Engine-ws.ear, Engine-wl.ear, Engine-jb.ear, Engine-jbc.ear, or Engine-jb6eap.ear.
    Important: Run the Configure Bootstrap and Text Extraction task only on the initial server.
