Downloading FileNet P8 system and IBM Case Manager software components

Before you run the IBM® Case Manager Platform Installation Tool, you must download the installation images for the required components of a single-server IBM FileNet® P8 Platform and IBM Case Manager installation. You must also rename the compressed installation images to the file names that are used by the IBM Case Manager Platform Installation Tool.

About this task

This installation includes the IBM Case Manager software and the FileNet P8 Platform environment. You must download the following installation images:
  • IBM Case Manager
  • All IBM Case Foundation components, including the IBM Case Foundation Fix Pack, Content Platform Engine, the Content Platform Engine Fix Pack and Interim Fix, Content Platform Engine Client, Fix Pack, and Interim Fix, and Workplace XT
  • IBM Content Navigator
  • WebSphere® Application Server software
  • DB2® Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX and Windows and license download package for DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX and Windows
  • Tivoli® Directory Server
You can download the images from ibm.com®. Specific versions of these components are required for the IBM Case Manager Platform Installation Tool. For more information about what versions of software are supported for the IBM Case Manager single-server installation, see Download IBM Case Manager V5.2.1 Platform Installation Tool Components .

These downloaded packages are named with part numbers. The numbers can change when updates occur, so the installation tool uses generic names for each component. After you download the software packages, you must rename each image file to the component name that is used by the tool. When you run the IBM Case Manager Platform Installation Tool, the tool calls these file names to extract and install the software.

Procedure

To download and rename the installation packages:

  1. Log on as an administrator to the server where you want to install your single-server environment.
  2. Create a directory on the server, for example, case_manager_downloads. Ensure that the volume that contains this directory has at least 10 GB of space.
  3. Download the software installation images for the IBM Case Manager environment to the download directory that you created. Select the appropriate versions for your server type and operating system. Download all of the following installation images:
    • IBM Case Manager
    • Content Platform Engine
    • Content Platform Engine Fix Pack 3
    • Content Platform Engine Fix Pack 3 Interim Fix 3
    • Content Platform Engine Client
    • Content Platform Engine Client Fix Pack 3 Interim Fix 3
    • Workplace XT
    • IBM Content Navigator
    • WebSphere Application Server
    • Tivoli Directory Server Client-Server
    • GS Kit for Tivoli Directory Server (This package is required only for Red Hat Linux.)
    • DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX and Windows
    • DB2 Restricted License
    • IBM Installation Manager
    The software downloads can take some time to complete. Do not extract the compressed installation images in the download directory.
    Important: Record each file name or part number and component as you download or copy the file into the download directory. Files that are named as part numbers might be difficult to identify when you rename them to the file names that are used by the installation tool.
  4. Rename the compressed files to the names that are required by the installation tool. Change only the part number or file name. Do not change the file extension unless an extension is specified in the following table. For example, change CI1NDML.tar.gz, which is the installation image name for Content Platform Engine, to ce.tar.gz.
    Use the following new file names:
