As part of the upgrade process, if you want
to access the documentation locally in your FileNet P8 environment you must
install the FileNet P8 information
center as a web application on a supported application server to view
and search product documentation.
Before you begin
Before
you install the FileNet® P8 information center, you must ensure that
you have Java™ support enabled
on the application server you choose.
You can collocate the
information center on an application server with either Application Engine or Content Platform Engine server components installed.
You can also install it on a separate application server.
Depending
on your operating system and application server levels, your options
might be slightly different from the options that are documented.
Be
sure that you have available the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet
that was completed during your planning activities.
Procedure
To install the FileNet P8 information center interactively:
- Open your completed Installation and Upgrade
Worksheet file.
Tip: In the worksheet file,
verify that the command is enabled.
To view only documentation installation values, filter by P8
Info Center Installer in the Installation or
Configuration Program column.
- Log on to the application server where you are installing
the information center:
Option |

Solaris |
Log on as a user with read, write, and execute access to the
directory where you plan to install the information center. |
Windows |
Log on as a member of the local Administrators group or a
user with equivalent permissions. |
- Access the information center software package.
- Run the installation program:
Option |
Description |
AIX |
5.2.1-P8IC-AIX.bin |
HPUX |
5.2.1-P8IC-HPUX.bin |
HPUXi |
5.2.1-P8IC-HPUXI.bin |
Linux |
5.2.1-P8IC-LINUX.bin |
Linux for System z |
5.2.1-P8IC-ZLINUX.bin |
Solaris |
5.2.1-P8IC-SOL.bin |

- Complete the installation program screens by using the
values from your worksheet.
- When the installation completes, check for errors in the information
center error log file ic_install_path/p8ic_install_log_5.2.1.txt,
where ic_install_path is the location where the
information center p8docs.war file is installed.
- Deploy the p8docs.war on
your application server. The deployment might take several
minutes because of the size of the documentation files.
Option |
Description |
WebSphere® Application
Server |
From the WebSphere administrative
console, install the p8docs.war file as a web
application by using p8docs as the context root. Tip: In the configuration windows, you can accept
the default values for all choices. In addition, ensure that you save
to the primary configuration when prompted.
|
Oracle WebLogic Server |
From the WebLogic Server administrative
console, install the p8docs.war file as a new
web application. Tip: If you would prefer not to deploy
the p8docs.war file directly, you can first extract
the entire p8docs directory structure to the
local hard drive and deploy from there.
|
JBoss Application Server |
After you ensure that the p8docs.war file
is in the /server/default/deploy directory, navigate
to the /bin directory and start the run command
file for your operating system. Tip:
If you would
prefer not to deploy the p8docs.war file directly,
extract the p8docs.war file to a deployable p8docs.war directory
in the /server/default/deploy directory path. |
