IBM Enterprise Records, Version 5.1.+              

Installation selections

You need to determine the type of installation you are performing, custom or typical, and where you plan to install the IBM® Enterprise Records tools.

Important: When you are upgrading to IBM Enterprise Records from an earlier version, your installation directory remains the same as it was. For example, your new IBM Enterprise Records software is installed in C:\Program Files\FileNet\RM when you are upgrading as opposed to C:\Program Files\IBM\EnterpriseRecords when you are performing a new installation. So, when you see ier_install_path throughout this document it refers to your installation location.
Restriction: Do not use characters from a non-English character set when you specify a IBM Enterprise Records installation path. If you specify an IBM Enterprise Records installation path that contains non-English characters, an error message might appear when you launch Configuration Manager. The error occurs because Configuration Manager cannot recognize the path.

Do you plan to perform a typical installation where all components are installed on one server, or a custom installation where you select which components to install? You might choose to do a typical installation on one server and then do a custom installation on to distribute the installation of various IBM Enterprise Records components across several machines. Using this mode, you can select and install each IBM Enterprise Records component independently. For example, you can install the Disposition and Hold Sweep Tools on the Content Engine server.
