Content Platform Engine, Version 5.2              

Installing and configuring Content Platform Engine

Content Platform Engine is the content and workflow-management component of the FileNet® P8 platform. To set up Content Platform Engine and get full workflow functionality, you install the Content Platform Engine and IBM® Case Foundation software and then configure and deploy it on an application server. You must also configure the global configuration database (GCD), create the FileNet P8 domain, and create at least one object store with an associated workflow system. The workflow system contains an isolated region and an associated connection point. The GCD contains system information about your particular configuration. The object stores contain information about the documents, cases, records, forms, workflows, and other business objects that you store in your FileNet P8 system.

All Content Platform Engine software is installed from the Content Platform Engine. Install IBM Case Foundation after installing Content Platform Engine. IBM Case Manager requires that both Content Platform Engine and IBM Case Foundation be installed.

You install the Content Platform Engine software and the IBM Case Foundation once on a web application server in your environment. You can configure and deploy one or more Content Platform Engine application instances on that server. A single Content Platform Engine application instance equates to one deployed application on your application server.

To deploy Content Platform Engine in a non-managed environment, you install and configure Content Platform Engine on a single server in the environment. After deploying the bootstrapped Content Platform Engine EAR file on the initial server, you copy the file to the other Configuration Manager profiles that are used to configure the other Content Platform Engine servers in the environment.

To deploy Content Platform Engine in a managed environment, you install and configure Content Platform Engine on a single server in the environment. The application server technology then handles the deployment to the other servers in the environment.
