Before you install IBM® FileNet® P8, ensure that you complete the "Installation and Upgrade worksheet" and prepare your operating system, servers, or other components.
The "Installation and Upgrade worksheet" is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that describes the properties and parameters required to complete installation, upgrade, and configuration. Use it to record the values that you assign to these properties and parameters.
You can filter the installation and upgrade information in this information center by product component, database, and application server. For example, you can view only information about the Content Engine that uses a DB2 database and WebSphere® Application Server. The content is filtered in the navigation tree at the left.
