To enable document rendering, you can use the upgrade wizard
to install the version of Rendition Engine software
to which you want to upgrade. After you install the Rendition Engine software, you must complete
additional tasks such as setting temporary folder permissions, creating
a Java™ repository, and setting
the Purge and Archive intervals.
Attention: As part of the
installation, you are prompted for the
IBMFileNetRenditionEngineLicense.xml license
file. Point the installation program to the current file that you
copied onto to the
IBM®
FileNet® Rendition Engine server.
If you point the installation program to an earlier license file,
the following error is displayed during publishing:
Publishing failed, VISTA_JOB_FAILED: Status=failed, Description=Business service
'retrieve': Invalid requests: 'retrieve-remote'
If you
see this error during publishing, use the Domain Manager to reinstall
the correct license file.
To install Rendition Engine software
interactively:
- Access the worksheet file, p8_worksheet.xls,
that contains the parameter values to specify during the Rendition Engine installation. In the worksheet
file, verify that the command is enabled. To view only Rendition Engine values, filter by RE
Installer in the Installation or Configuration Program
column.
- Log on to the Rendition Engine server
as the FNRE_Admin user. Unless otherwise
directed use the FNRE_Admin user account to install
and configure all of the Publishing components.
- Start the Print Spooler Windows service
if it is not already running.
- Start the Rendition Engine installation
program as an administrator:
- Access the Rendition Engine installation
files from the local directory on the Rendition Engine server where they were
copied.
- From this directory, right-click 5.2.0-P8RE-WIN.EXE,
select Run as administrator, and complete the
installation screens.
For highly available farmed server
configurations, on the Database Information screen,
verify that all nodes use the same database information. If you are
using a highly available database, you must provide the virtual name
of the database server.
- Use the default installation path that is displayed by
the installer unless you have a compelling reason to use a different
directory path. If you must change the installation path, click Browse to
navigate to the installation location.
Installing Rendition Engine in a folder that contains
Chinese characters in the path might convert some of these characters
to question marks and return an invalid character error after you
select the installation folder. You must install Rendition Engine in a folder whose path
name does not contain Chinese characters.
- When the Rendition Engine installation
is complete, check the installation log files to verify that no errors
occurred. The log files are available at USER_INSTALL_DIR\re_install_log_<version>.txt and C:\Temp\LiquentServicesInstall.log
Attention: When you upgrade Rendition Engine from 5.0.0 to 5.2.0, ignore
the ERROR CODE: 1801 The printer name is invalid message
in the C:\Temp\LiquentServicesInstall.log file.
Use
the Windows Task Manager
or the application bar to verify that the IBM
FileNet Rendition Engine 5.2.0 InstallAnywhere
Wizard application completed.
Complete the additional Rendition Engine installation tasks.
