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

Configuring WebLogic Server for Application Engine or Workplace XT

You must install Oracle WebLogic Server on the machine where you are going to install and deploy Application Engine or Workplace XT.

About this task

Application Engine or Workplace XT can be collocated with Content Platform Engine as long as the server is appropriately sized. However, each instance of Application Engine or Workplace XT and each instance of the Content Platform Engine must run in its own JVM. For assistance in sizing your system, access the IBM® FileNet® P8 Platform support site.

Procedure

To configure WebLogic Server:

  1. Verify that the application server is set to use JSESSIONID as the default cookie name. To avoid forcing end users to log in individually to applets such as Process Designer, Search Designer, and Process Simulator, configure the application server to use JSESSIONID as cookie name, and not use application-unique cookie names. Using JSESSIONID is typically the default setting for the supported application servers. Both Application Engine and Workplace XT use cookie names for passing session information between Application Engine or Workplace XT and the client browser.
  2. Create a WebLogic Server domain before installing and deploying Application Engine or Workplace XT. Refer to your WebLogic Server documentation for detailed instructions.
    Important: You will perform further configuration on Workplace XT after you perform the installation.
  3. Enable trust between the Content Platform Engine WebLogic domain and the Application Engine or Workplace XT WebLogic domain. If you have already configured a trust on the Content Platform Engine, perform these steps only on the Application Engine or Workplace XT server.
    1. Prepare the WebLogic Administration Console for editing.
    2. In the advanced security settings for your domain, enter the same password for both the Content Platform Engine domain and the Application Engine or Workplace XT domain.
    3. Save and activate your changes.
    4. Restart the server if needed.
    5. Repeat this procedure in each domain for which you want to enable trust.
      Important: If you are enabling this feature in a managed server environment, you must stop the Administration server and all the Managed Servers in both domains and then restart them. If this step is not performed, servers that were not rebooted will not trust the servers that were rebooted. Refer to your WebLogic Server documentation for more information.
