You must install the Process Engine client
software, either interactively or silently in order to have a complete IBM® Enterprise
Records installation and enable IBM Enterprise
Records to work with Process Engine server. The Process Engine client software level must
match that of the Process Engine.

create the EnterpriseRecords.war and EnterpriseRecords.ear deployment
files. Choose not to have the client installation program create the
deployment files. Later in this procedure, you run the IBM Enterprise
Records Configuration Manager
tool and execute the tasks in the Web Application Deployment profile
to create and deploy the deployment files.
