Configuring the application server for Content Platform Engine

You can deploy Content Platform Engine only on certain versions of application servers. Therefore, you must determine if and when to upgrade the application server where the current version of Content Platform Engine (or Content Engine) is deployed before upgrading to a new version.

Procedure

To determine the order of upgrading Content Platform Engine and the application server on which it is deployed:

  1. Consult the IBM® FileNet P8 system requirements documentation for both the existing version of software and the new version. Determine if a version of your application server is supported by both your existing version of Content Platform Engine (or Content Engine) and the new version of Content Platform Engine.
  2. Upgrade your application server and Content Platform Engine (or Content Engine) according to the criteria in the following table:
    Option Description
    If you deployed your current version of Content Platform Engine (or Content Engine) on an application server version that is supported by the new version of Content Platform Engine
    1. Upgrade the Content Platform Engine software. It is not necessary to upgrade your application server.
    2. (optional) Upgrade the application server to a newer version that is supported by the new version of Content Platform Engine
    If you deployed your current version of Content Platform Engine (or Content Engine) on an application server version that is not supported by the new version of Content Platform Engine
    1. Upgrade to an application server version that both the current version of Content Platform Engine (or Content Engine) and the new version of Content Platform Engine support.
    2. Upgrade Content Platform Engine to the new version.
    If you deployed your current version of Content Platform Engine (or Content Engine) on an application server version that is not supported by the new Content Platform Engine and an application server version that is supported by both your existing Content Platform Engine (or Content Engine) and the new Content Platform Engine version does not exist
    1. Perform a migration upgrade by creating a new instance of the application server using a version that is supported by the new Content Platform Engine.
    2. Upgrade Content Platform Engine working through the topics on configuring Content Platform Engine into a new application server instance using an existing Configuration Manager profile.
