You can deploy Content Platform Engine only
on certain versions of application servers. Therefore, you must determine
if and when to upgrade the application server where the current version
of Content Platform Engine (or Content Engine) is deployed before upgrading
to a new version.
Procedure
To determine the order of upgrading Content Platform Engine and the application
server on which it is deployed:
- Consult the IBM®
FileNet P8 system requirements documentation for both the existing version
of software and the new version. Determine if a version of your application
server is supported by both your existing version of Content Platform Engine (or Content Engine) and the new version of Content Platform Engine.
- Upgrade your application server and Content Platform Engine (or Content Engine) according to the criteria
in the following table:

version that is supported by the new version of Content Platform Engine |
- Upgrade the Content Platform Engine software.
It is not necessary to upgrade your application server.
- (optional) Upgrade the application server
to a newer version that is supported by the new version of Content Platform Engine
|
If you deployed your current version of Content Platform Engine (or Content Engine) on an application server
version that is not supported by the new version of Content Platform Engine |
- Upgrade to an application server version that both the current
version of Content Platform Engine (or Content Engine) and the new version of Content Platform Engine support.
- Upgrade Content Platform Engine to
the new version.

If you deployed your current version of Content Platform Engine (or Content Engine) on an application server
version that is not supported by the new Content Platform Engine and an application
server version that is supported by both your existing Content Platform Engine (or Content Engine) and the new Content Platform Engine version does not exist |
- Perform a migration upgrade by creating a new instance of the
application server using a version that is supported by the new Content Platform Engine.
- Upgrade Content Platform Engine working
through the topics on configuring Content Platform Engine into a new application
server instance using an existing Configuration Manager profile.
