Planning the upgrade

Carefully review the information provided to plan your FileNet® P8 system upgrade.

In version 5.2, the Content Engine, Process Engine, and Case Analyzer were combined and now run as a single deployed application. This is the Content Platform Engine. This content and workflow management software runs on every application server instance where it is deployed. It is recommended that you contact your IBM® representative to review capacity planning and load balancing before you upgrade.

All data in the existing global configuration database, object stores, and workflow system are automatically upgraded when you deploy the upgraded Content Platform Engine EAR file.
