IBM Enterprise Records, Version 5.1.+              

Installing FileNet P8 Platform core components on one or more servers before installing IBM Enterprise Records software

You must have installed the following core components of the IBM® FileNet® P8 suite of products before you install IBM Enterprise Records: Content Engine, Process Engine, and Application Engine or Workplace XT.

You must have installed Application Engine or Workplace XT on the same server as the IBM Enterprise Records software and you must have installed Content Engine, and Process Engine on servers that connect to the server running IBM Enterprise Records software.
Important: You must first complete the Application Engine or Workplace XT installation, including configuring the application server and installing the latest Content Engine and Process Engine client files on the server. Failing to complete this step might prevent the IBM Enterprise Records Configuration Manager program from completing successfully.

To install or ready your core components:

  1. Update Content Engine to the latest patch levels that are compatible with IBM Enterprise Records. See the IBM FileNet P8 Compatibility Matrix to determine the most current, compatible fix pack levels for the core components. The environment must meet all applicable requirements listed in the IBM FileNet P8 Hardware and Software Requirements document.
  2. Update Process Engine to the latest patch levels.
  3. Update Application Engine or Workplace XT to the latest patch levels.
    Restriction: Running a single IBM Enterprise Records installation configured with both an Application Engine and Workplace XT system on the same server is not supported.
  4. Install the Content Engine Java Client Files and Enterprise Manager (optional) on the server where you install Crystal Reports if the site is using the reports that are provided by IBM Enterprise Records. Be sure you have the FileNet P8 Platform installation media available so you are able to install the Java Client Files. See the related link and the Crystal Reports documentation.
