Perform this step on the first Rendition Engine server in each LIQUENT
Vista domain only. Additional Rendition Engine servers will use the
settings of the LIQUENT Vista domain they connect to.
If Content Platform Engine is clustered or farmed,
create a Java Repository in the LIQUENT Vista domain for each
Content Platform Engine instance in the cluster or farm.
- On the Rendition Engine server, navigate to

Important: In highly available environments, after configuring the
VistaTempDir, you must verify that you can access this directory from each
existing
Rendition Engine server by using the
FNRE_admin user account, and that you can access the
VistaTempDir on each existing
Rendition Engine from the
current server.

- To verify accessibility:
- On the Rendition Engine server, select and then type
\\Other_RE_Server\VistaTempDir.
- Verify that you can create a text document in the directory by right-clicking and selecting
.
- If you added a second or consecutive Rendition Engine to your LIQUENT
Vista domain, restart the BusinessServiceServer service.
Every time a Rendition Engine instance is added to the IBM
FileNet P8 Platform domain, you must manually restart the BusinessServiceServer
services on every Rendition Engine connected to the LIQUENT Vista
domain.
