Content Platform Engine, Version 5.2.1              

Deploying upgraded instances by using the command line

You can deploy an upgraded Content Platform Engine instance on a web application server by using the command-line version of Configuration Manager. Deploying makes the Content Platform Engine application available for use.

Before you begin

Ensure that the application server instance is running or stopped:
Table 1. Required Application Server State
Option Description
WebSphere® Application Server Start the application server instance if it is not already running.
JBoss Application Server Stop the application server instance.
WebLogic Server Start the application server instance if it is not already running.

About this task

High availabilityImportant: When deploying Content Platform Engine in a highly available environment you must specify the cluster as the deployment target.

See Configuration Manager command-line reference for syntax details.

Procedure

To deploy a Content Platform Engine instance from the command line:

  1. Log on to the application server machine as the config_mgr_user user, which is the Configuration Manager user.
  2. Set the current directory to ce_install_path/tools/configure, where ce_install_path is the path where you installed Content Engine.
  3. Run the following command to apply the settings in the deployapplication.xml file:
    configmgr_cl execute -task deployapplication -profile myprofile
    where the myprofile value can be one of the following items:
    • The name of the profile, such as ce_was_tiv_db2. The profile must be located in the ce_install_path/tools/configure/profiles directory, where ce_install_path is the location where the Content Platform Engine software is installed.
    • The absolute path to the profile directory, such as "C:\Program Files\IBM\FileNet\ContentEngine\tools\configure\profiles\ce_was_tiv_db2" or /opt/IBM/FileNet/ContentEngine/tools/configure/profiles/ce_was_tiv_db2.
    • The absolute path to the profile input file, such as "C:\Program Files\IBM\FileNet\ContentEngine\tools\configure\profiles\ce_was_tiv_db2\ce_was_tiv_db2.cfg" or /opt/IBM/FileNet/ContentEngine/tools/configure/profiles/ce_was_tiv_db2/ce_was_tiv_db2.cfg.
    Remember: If the path includes a directory name with spaces, enclose the entire path in quotation marks. For example, enter "C:\Program Files\IBM\FileNet\ContentEngine\tools\configure\profiles\ce_was_tiv_db2\ce_was_tiv_db2.cfg".
  4. Optional: Run the following command to check the completion status of the Deploy Application task.
    configmgr_cl checkstatus -task deployapplication -profile myprofile
  5. Repeat this procedure as needed to deploy any additional Content Platform Engine instances.
