To prepare for the single-server installation, you must
create a download directory with all the software packages that are
required for a full FileNet® P8 Platform installation.
You can download the installation packages from the IBM® Passport Advantage® website.
Before you begin
The Composite Platform Installation Tool uses a set of predetermined
software installation packages. To see a list of the specific packages
by part number that are required for this installation tool, see the
IBM
FileNet P8 system requirements.
In the guide, search for the section on the composite platform installation
tool. Use the part numbers that are specified in that guide to create
the download directory, as shown in this task.
Procedure
To prepare for the installation:
- Log on as an administrator to the server where you plan
to run the Composite Platform Installation Tool.
- Create a directory for the installation packages on the
server where you plan to install. As an example: Platform_Downloads. You must have at least 20 GB of space available.
- Download the software packages for all components for your
platform to the download directory that you created on the server.
Important: Make a note of each file name 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 names used by the installation tool.
Download the installation packages as compressed files, but
do not extract the installation packages in the download directory.- Content Platform Engine

- Rename the compressed files to the names that are used
by the installation tool. The installation tool looks for
these new names when it installs and configures the software components.
Do not change the file extensions.
Important: Do
not rename the WebSphere Application

pack.
Use the following names:Table 1. Names for installation

For example, the Tivoli Directory

be renamed to tds.zip.
- Create a backup of your server. Use this backup
if you need to rerun the Composite Platform Installation Tool.
