Content Platform Engine, Version 5.2.1              

Configuring Content Platform Engine instances by using the command line

You can configure a Content Platform Engine instance on a web application server by using the command-line version of Configuration Manager.

About this task

Begin by generating the configuration XML files that define the application server settings, the license choices, the global configuration database (GCD) data source JDBC data source settings, the login modules for the Content Platform Engine application, the directory service provider (LDAP) settings, and the Content Platform Engine bootstrap settings. Next, edit the files to provide values for your environment. Then, apply the settings by executing the tasks from the command line.

If you are upgrading FileNet® P8 from a version prior to 5.2.0, you must have a JDBC data source for each existing Process Engine database. In configurations where a Process Engine database is not shared with an object store, you must create a data source. If Process Engine and Content Engine already share a database, the object store data source is used and there is no need to create a data source. This shared database was the required configuration for new installations of IBM® Case Manager in versions 5.0 and 5.1. If you are upgrading Process Engine from version 5.0 and have multiple virtual servers, each virtual server connects to a different database, and each of those databases requires a separate data source.

You must generate, edit, and run a complete set of configuration XML to configure a Content Platform Engine application. If you are deploying multiple Content Platform Engine application instances on the same application server, you must generate, edit, and deploy a complete set of configuration files for each instance. Store the configuration files for each instance in a separate directory.

You can complete the configuration tasks by generating all the configuration XML files before editing, running, or verifying any of them; or you can generate, edit, run, and verify one file at a time.

Important: When you run the configmgr_cl command to configure bootstrap properties, you must specify -bootstrap upgrade, not -bootstrap new, in the command.
