Content Platform Engine, Version 5.2.1              

Generating the configuration XML files for a Content Platform Engine instance

The configuration XML files contain the properties and values for the various configuration tasks. From the command line, you can generate all of the XML files at the same time, or you can generate a single configuration XML file at a time.

About this task

The following table lists the configuration XML files that you need to generate to configure a new Content Platform Engine instance.

Table 1. Configuration XML files
File Name Description
applicationserver.xml Settings for the application server, including the location of the application server software and the name of the server. This file is generated when any other configuration file is generated (either all at the same time or individually) and is used by all of the configuration tasks. If you generate the files one at a time, this file is created only once.
configurepricingmodel.xml Settings for the license choices of installed products, including IBM® FileNet® Content Manager or IBM Content Foundation, IBM Case Foundation, and IBM Case Manager.
configurebootstrap.xml Settings for creating the global configuration database (GCD) and starting Content Platform Engine.

configurejdbcgcd.xml

configurejdbcos.xml

configurejdbcos.n.xml, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 2

Settings for configuring JDBC connections to the databases used by Content Platform Engine. You must generate, edit, and run the configure the JDBC task once for the data sources for the global configuration database (GCD) and then again for the data sources for each object store (and Process Engine database, if you are upgrading FileNet P8 from a version prior to 5.2.0). For information about creating the additional data sources for an object store or workflow system, see Creating the data sources by using the command line.

If you generate a second JDBC configuration file, then it is named configurejdbc.2.xml. The file name increments for each new file that you generate.

configureldap.xml

configureldap.n.xml , where n is an integer greater than or equal to 2

Settings for connecting to and searching within a directory server. If your site uses multiple LDAP providers, you can generate an additional file for each provider. If you generate a second LDAP configuration file, then it is named configureldap.2.xml. The file name increments for each new file that you generate.

configureloginmodules.xml Settings for creating the application server login modules for Content Platform Engine.

You must eventually generate each of the required configuration XML files to configure a Content Platform Engine instance.
