FileNet P8 Application Engine, Version 5.2.1       Application server:  WebLogic Application Server     

Deploying Application Engine

To use Workplace as a web application, you must deploy it as an application in the WebLogic Server Administration Console. You can specify the context root for the application URL during the deployment.

Procedure

  1. From the WebLogic Server Administration Console, navigate to the domain you initially created for the Application Engine.
  2. Prepare the WebLogic Server Administration Console to deploy the application.
  3. Choose whether to deploy from an exploded folder (AE_install_path) or from the WAR or EAR file (default: app_engine.war or app_engine.ear in AE_install_path/deploy).
  4. Accept the defaults for the deployment, except for the name for the deployment. Use "Workplace" instead of "appengine".
  5. Finish the deployment, and save and activate your changes.
    Tip: To verify that the deployment was successful, expand Web Applications. The web application Workplace is listed.
    Tip: To troubleshoot the deployment, check the following log:

    WLS_install_path/user_projects/domains/domain_name/servers/server_name/logs/server_name.log

  6. After deployment is complete, start Workplace (or your custom application name) in the WebLogic Server Administration Console.
  7. High availabilityIn a high availability environment, by using the application server administration tool, verify that the Application Engine application is running.
    1. Open a Web browser and type in the URL for the Application Engine application.
      • If you are using a load-balancer or proxy server the URL has the form:
        Application Engine
        http://virtual_name:port_number/Workplace
      • If connecting to an individual cluster node the URL would have the form:
        Application Engine
        http://clustered_server_name:port_number/Workplace/
      Sign-in by using the virtual name to properly set the base Application Engine URL. If it is not set correctly you must change it in Site Preferences.
    2. Verify that the sign-in page displays, and log in as a user.
    3. Fail one of the nodes.
    4. Verify that you can reload the sign-in page, and log in as the same user.
