Depending on how you plan to use your FileNet® P8 system, you might make
different choices in how you install the components. You can review
the possible FileNet P8 environment
scenarios to help you plan your installation process.
Overview of installation types
Before putting your FileNet P8 system
into production, it is often a good idea to install it several times,
with each installation fulfilling a different purpose.
Single server scenario
You can install FileNet P8 by
using the Composite Platform Installation Tool. This tool installs
all the middleware products and all the FileNet P8 components on a single
server in one installation session.
Standard distributed scenario
In a typical distributed installation scenario, you install
the FileNet P8 platform
components on a system of networked servers. You can install some
components as stand-alone applications, or install multiple instances
of a single component.
Multiple domain scenario
In a multiple domain installation scenario, a master domain
maintains a set of self-contained tenant domains. Each tenant domain
appears to its clients as a separate independent domain.
