Content Platform Engine, Version 5.2.1              

Configuring upgraded instances by using the graphical user interface

You can configure a Content Platform Engine instance by using the graphical user interface version of Configuration Manager.

About this task

See the appendix Configuration Manager user interface reference for complete information about using the graphical user interface. If you need an accessible version of Configuration Manager, use the command-line interface instead of the graphical user interface.

  1. Starting the Configuration Manager graphical user interface
    You can configure a Content Platform Engine instance by using the graphical user interface version of Configuration Manager.
  2. Changing the password save preference
    By default, any passwords that you enter in the graphical user interface in Configuration Manager are not saved to a file. The passwords are stored in memory as long as you have the profile open in Configuration Manager. You can change the password save preference to save the passwords each time that you save your changes to a profile.
  3. Creating an upgrade configuration profile
    To upgrade Content Platform Engine or Content Engine you must use Configuration Manager to create an upgrade configuration profile. The profile contains deployment, authentication, and database-connection information.
  4. Choosing licenses
    You must provide licensing information about your installed products so that IBM® License Metric Tool can make the correct product license association.
  5. Configuring the login modules (WebSphere and JBoss only)
    You must configure the login modules, which provide authentication information for Content Platform Engine.
  6. Configuring Content Platform Engine application server authentication (LDAP) settings (JBoss only)
    You must configure the Content Platform Engine application server's authentication settings. These settings define the (LDAP) repository and search mechanism, which the application server uses to authenticate a user requesting Content Platform Engine service.
  7. Creating data sources for Process Engine databases
    You must create JDBC data sources for each database that Process Engine uses. Content Platform Engine and the peupgrade tool use this data source information to connect to and update the database.
  8. Configuring the bootstrap and text extraction settings
    You must provide the bootstrap and text extraction property values to upgrade Content Platform Engine or Content Engine.
