FileNet P8 Application Engine, Version 5.2.1              

Application Engine distributed installation scenario

You can install Application Engine as a stand-alone application. You can also install multiple instances of Application Engine.

Stand-alone deployment

When you deploy Application Engine as a stand-alone application, you configure a single application server. You must configure your Application Engine instances and deploy those Application Engine instances on a single server, using a single directory for the configuration files.

Multi-instance deployment

If you want to deploy multiple Application Engine instances, install and deploy Application Engine on separate servers.

Each Application Engine instance is isolated from the others, and there is no exchange of information between the instances. For example, you can dedicate a Application Engine instance for use by a certain group. This creates a distinct Workplace interface for the group, and you can configure permissions, settings, and functions accordingly. For another group, you might want to configure a separate instance of the Workplace application with different settings. Each instance has its own user and site preferences. All instances provide an interface to the Content Platform Engine object stores.

Managed deployment

When you deploy Application Engine with WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment in a managed mode, you must install and configure Application Engine on all managed cluster nodes (using the administrative console for the deployment manager) that are assigned to Application Engine.

When you deploy Application Engine in an Oracle WebLogic Server managed environment, you must install and configure Application Engine on the administrative node to avoid cross-network configuration issues. Install and configure Application Engine on the administration server. Then use the administration server tools to deploy the Application Engine WAR or EAR file to the managed servers. The managed servers can be in a cluster.

JBoss Application Server has no managed deployment capability.

Non-managed deployment

When you deploy Application Engine in a WebSphere Application Server or WebLogic Server non-managed environment, or a JBoss Application Server environment, you install, configure, and deploy Application Engine on every server in the environment.
