Install Open Client with Process 5.1 Integration

You must install FileNet Web Services, .NET Framework, Open Client with Process Integration, and Process Java Applets and Connectivity (PJAC) 5.1.

Log on

Log on to the web server with Administrator privileges. Ensure that you use the same user account to login after each required reboot in the procedure.

Install FileNet Web Services

Install FileNet Web Services using the procedure in the FileNet Web Services Administrator's Help (skip if already installed).

Install .NET Framework

  1. From the Microsoft web site, download a supported version of .NET Framework.
  2. Install .NET Framework.
  3. On Windows 2003, activate ASP.NET. (On Windows 2000, installing .NET activates ASP.NET.)
    1. In Control Panel of IIS, click Add/Remove Programs->Add/Remove Window Components to open the Windows Components Wizard Dialog Box.
    2. Double-click the Application Server option and choose the ASP.NET option.

Install Open Client with Process Integration

  1. Insert the FileNet Web Services software CD in the CD-ROM drive. Exit from Setup if it starts automatically.
  2. On the CD, open the \Open Client ExeZip folder, and double-click on setup.exe.
  3. Click Next.
  4. Click Yes to accept the license agreement.
  5. Select "Anyone who uses this computer" to allow all users on this machine to administer Open Client, and then click Next. Select "For myself only" if you want to be the only user on this machine who can administer Open Client, and then click Next. This setting has no effect on web client access to Open Client and Process.
  6. Accept the default installation folder, or click Browse to select a folder other than the default, and then click Next.
  7. Enter the alias (IIS virtual directory) for Open Client. This becomes part of the URL used to access Open Client. For example, if you enter the alias OpenClient, the URL will be http://<webserver>/OpenClient.
  8. Select Complete or Custom to install Open Client with Process Integration.

    In case of Complete installation the source as well as the script files are copied to the destination machine

    In case of Custom installation, user is prompted with two options, eProcess Integration and Development Tools. The eProcess Integration option is checked by default.

    Selecting eProcess Integration option installs the Process Integration with Open Client 4.0 and copies the script and binary files to the destination folder.

    Selecting the Development Tools option copies source files of Open Client 4.0 to the destination folder. Help for Developers will not be installed if Development Tools option is not selected while installing Open Client 4.0.

    Selecting both the options will install script, binary and source files of both Process Integration and Open Client 4.0.

    If you do not select any of the options then Open Client 4.0 is installed without the script and binary files.

  9. Click Next.
  10. Reboot the machine to complete the installation.

Install Java Applets and Connectivity (PJAC)

Install PJAC 5.1 from the PJAC 5.1 CD.

The installation copies JRE 1.4.2 to the \download folder on the web server. A client workstation must have JRE 1.4.2 to run Process Java applets, and cannot have any additional version installed. If the JRE is not installed when the user starts a Process Java applet:

Alternatively, you can install the JRE on client machines from the PJAC CD, make the JRE available to clients from a network drive, or instruct clients to download the JRE from another location. See Open Client requirements for more information on web client setup.
