You can deploy an upgraded Content Platform Engine instance on a web application
server by using the command-line version of Configuration Manager. Deploying makes
the Content Platform Engine application
available for use.
Before you begin
Ensure
that the application server instance is running or stopped:
Table 1. Required Application Server StateOption |
Description |
WebSphere® Application
Server |
Start
the application server instance if it is not already running. |
JBoss Application Server |
Stop
the application server instance. |
WebLogic Server |
Start
the application server instance if it is not already running. |
About this task
Important: When deploying
Content Platform Engine in a highly available
environment you must specify the cluster as the deployment target.
See Configuration Manager command-line reference for syntax details.
Procedure
To deploy a Content Platform Engine instance
from the command line:
- Log on to the application server machine as the config_mgr_user user,
which is the Configuration Manager user.
- Set the current directory to ce_install_path/tools/configure, where
ce_install_path is the path
where you installed Content Engine.
- Run the following command to apply the settings in the deployapplication.xml file:
configmgr_cl execute -task deployapplication -profile myprofile
where the
myprofile value can be
one of the following items:
- The name of the profile, such as ce_was_tiv_db2. The profile must
be located in the ce_install_path/tools/configure/profiles directory,
where ce_install_path is the location where the Content Platform Engine software is installed.
- The absolute path to the profile directory, such as "C:\Program
Files\IBM\FileNet\ContentEngine\tools\configure\profiles\ce_was_tiv_db2" or /opt/IBM/FileNet/ContentEngine/tools/configure/profiles/ce_was_tiv_db2.
- The absolute path to the profile input file, such as "C:\Program
Files\IBM\FileNet\ContentEngine\tools\configure\profiles\ce_was_tiv_db2\ce_was_tiv_db2.cfg" or /opt/IBM/FileNet/ContentEngine/tools/configure/profiles/ce_was_tiv_db2/ce_was_tiv_db2.cfg.
Remember: If the path includes a directory name with
spaces, enclose the entire path in quotation marks. For example, enter "C:\Program
Files\IBM\FileNet\ContentEngine\tools\configure\profiles\ce_was_tiv_db2\ce_was_tiv_db2.cfg".
- Optional: Run the following command to check
the completion status of the Deploy Application task.
configmgr_cl checkstatus -task deployapplication -profile myprofile
- Repeat this procedure as needed to deploy any additional Content Platform Engine instances.
