Creating the FileNet P8 domain

You need to create a FileNet® P8 domain to contain the object stores, storage areas, index areas, and other entities that you create.

To create a FileNet P8 domain:

1. Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
   Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the Data > Filter > AutoFilter command is enabled, and filter by ACCE: Create FileNet P8 domain in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
2. Start IBM® Administration Console for Content Platform Engine if you did not already do so. The Create a New Domain wizard starts automatically the first time IBM Administration Console for Content Platform Engine runs.
   1. On any computer, open a browser and navigate to the IBM Administration Console for Content Platform Engine logon page:
      • In a standard availability environment, the logon page is at http://CPE_Server:port/acce. CPE_Server is the name of the system where Content Platform Engine is deployed. port is the HTTP port that is used by the application server where Content Platform Engine is deployed.
      • In a high availability environment, the logon page is at http://virtual_server:port/acce. virtual_server is the name of the load balancer or proxy server where the clusters of Content Platform Engine is deployed. port is the port number of the load balancer or proxy server.
      
   2. Log on as the gcd_admin user.
3. Complete the wizard by using the values in your worksheet. The values that are displayed in the wizard screens are default values, which you must change to match your site.
