About this task
You can also use the procedures in this topic if you are
using upgrade or migration methods that are specific to your application
server so that you can retain your current application server configuration
settings for Content Platform Engine.
Configuration
is a multiple step process. You must provide information about your Content Platform Engine application environment,
apply the settings by running the configuration tasks, and deploy
the application. You can configure multiple instances before you deploy
any of them, or you can configure and deploy one instance at a time.
Remember
the following points when you prepare to configure
Content Platform Engine:
- You
can use Configuration Manager to
configure and deploy the Content Platform Engine software
that you installed on an application server only if Configuration Manager is running with
the same application server.
- (WebSphere® Application
Server only) For best results,
configure no more than one Content Platform Engine application
instance in a WebSphere profile.
- If you need an accessible software
version of Configuration Manager for
people with disabilities, use the command-line version of Configuration Manager.
- If your
system is HP-RISC, use the command-line version of Configuration Manager.
- (IBM®
DB2® for z/OS® only) You need to set
a JVM argument or edit the Engine.properties file
on the Content Platform Engine server
so that Content Platform Engine can
read the data source properties in the IBM
DB2 for z/OS database.
- You
must run the Configure Bootstrap and Text Extraction task and the
Deploy Application task after running the Choose Licenses task so
that the running application has the correct licensing information.
- If
your FileNet® P8 domain uses
multiple non-managed application servers, then you must repeat all Configuration Manager tasks, except
the Configure Bootstrap and Text Extraction task, on each non-managed
application server. For the Configure Bootstrap and Text Extraction
task, copy a single EAR file with the bootstrap settings to the Configuration Manager profiles that
configure the other Content Platform Engine servers
in the environment.
- If you migrate your application server profile from a previous
application server version into a new application server instance,
follow this process for configuring the Content Platform Engine within an existing
application server instance. Migrating involves collecting the configuration
information from a previous version of an application server and merging
it into a configuration for a new version. (See the application server
vendor documentation for details about these methods.)
