New in this fix pack

The IBM® FileNet® Application Engine 4.0.2.13-P8AE-FP013 fix pack contains an updated security certificate used to sign FileNet Application Engine .jar and client installer files included with the installation. The previous certificate signature expires March 16, 2012 and the files need to be re-signed. The re-signed .jar files provided by the fix pack will be valid from the time of installation until February 19, 2015. It is also required that you update any Process Engine .jar files using the Process Engine interim fix or fix pack that matches the Process Engine version installed on your system.

For more information about Application Engine new features, existing languages, and known issues, see the IBM FileNet P8 Release Notes.

Other Notes

The installer panels for Application Engine 4.0.2.13 show the Oracle WebLogic Application Server as BEA WebLogic.

The correct name in the panels should be Oracle WebLogic. However, this is a cosmetic issue only, and does not affect installation.

Installation, migration, upgrade, and configuration

This topic contains instructions for installing the Application Engine 4.0.2.13-P8AE-FP013 fix pack.

Support documentation

Before installing this fix pack, verify you have an installed copy of the latest IBM FileNet P8 Platform Documentation package. This documentation package contains additional information that you might need to perform the procedures mentioned in this readme, such as stopping services and applications.

Search is enabled in the help system only if you have installed it as a web site on a web server that supports Java™ applications.

Requirements

Caution Do not install this Application Engine 4.0.2.13-P8AE-FP013 fix pack until all of your FileNet P8 functional expansions, such as Records Manager, support it. For details, see the latest edition of the FileNet P8 Hardware and Software Requirements document and the FileNet P8 Fix Pack Dependency/Compatibility Matrix.

For more information, see the FileNet P8 Hardware and Software Requirements Guide and the FileNet P8 Fix Pack Dependency/Compatibility Matrix.

Install this fix pack

Install this fix pack on each machine where you have installed Application Engine software.

To install the Application Engine 4.0.2.13-P8AE-FP013 fix pack

  1. Log on to the application server:
  2. From Process Task Manager, stop Component Manager (if running), then exit Process Task Manager.
  3. (Windows only) From the Windows Services console, stop the Process Application Engine Services Manager service.
  4. (Windows only) Using the Windows Task Manager, verify that no javaw.exe processes are running.

    If the applications in the preceding steps stopped correctly, no Application Engine related javaw.exe processes should be running. If needed, use Windows Task Manager or some other process management tool to stop all javaw.exe processes with the directory path <AE_install_path>\_AEjvm\bin.

    <AE_install_path> is a variable that indicates the location of the installed Application Engine source files. Below are the default values for this variable:

    UNIX /opt/FileNet/AE
    Windows C:\Program Files\FileNet\AE\

  5. For a new installation, continue from Step 8 below.
  6. Back up, undeploy, and remove the Workplace web application from the J2EE application server.
  7. Copy existing configuration files.

    To retain your existing configurations, copy the following configuration files from the backup copy of your deployed Workplace application to the appropriate folder, as listed below, in the installed directory on your application server, overwriting the existing installed files. You must do this before you apply the fix pack to the existing Application Engine installation.

    Copy the following files from the corresponding folder in the backed-up Workplace directory created in the previous step to the following locations:

    Note If BPF4.1.x-00x is installed on this environment, perform a backup of the following file:

         Integration.xml

         After redeploying Application Engine, add BPF information to the new installation in the Workplace deployed folder.

         The backup of these files is to ensure the files are still available in case there is any reason to revert to the previous versions.
         When redeploying after installing the fix pack, any custom settings will be added back to the deployed working directory.

  8. Install or Upgrade Application Engine.

    For more general information about installing Application Engine, see “Install Application Engine” in the FileNet P8 Platform Installation and Upgrade Guide.

    1. Access the IBM FileNet 4.0.2.13-P8AE-FP013 fix pack software package.
    2. Launch the appropriate Setup program (P8AE-4.0.2.13-<operating_system>.bin/.exe).
    3. Complete the Setup screens and finish the installation.
    4. Verify that no errors or failures were logged in the app_engine_install_log_4_0_2_13.txt file, located in <AE_install_path>/logs. Correct any errors before proceeding.
    5. If you are upgrading, view the out.txt and err.txt files, located in <AE_install_path>/backup-4_0_2_13/, and verify that no errors or failures were logged. Correct any errors before proceeding.
  9. Install the Content Engine and Process Engine client files matching the versions of the Content Engine and Process Engine that are used in your environment. See the sections "Installing the latest Content Engine Client files on Application Engine servers" and "Installing the latest Process Engine Client files on Application Engine servers" within the IBM FileNet P8 Installation guide.

    Notes

  10. (Windows only) After installing the fix pack, start the Process Application Engine Services Manager service from the Windows Services console.
  11. Deploy Application Engine.

    For details, see one of the following topics in the FileNet P8 Platform Installation and Upgrade Guide:

    Note It is strongly recommended that all client machines using the P8 Office Integration or File Tracker applications upgrade to the version that corresponds with this fix pack. See the "Upgrade Application Integration and File Tracker" topic in the IBM FileNet P8 Platform Installation and Upgrade Guide for upgrade instructions.

  12. (FileNet P8 systems using Image Services Integration only) Verify that you are running a supported version of Image Services Resource Adaptor (ISRA).

    See the FileNet P8 4.0.x Hardware and Software Requirements document for details on supported ISRA versions.

    For more information on how to upgrade ISRA and configure Image Services integration, see your ISRA documentation and “Enable Application Engine to use ISRA” in the IBM FileNet P8 Platform Installation and Upgrade Guide.

  13. (Business Process Framework only) If BPF4.1.0 or later is installed on this environment, please refer to FileNet Business Process Framework Installation Guide for 4.1.0 to perform the steps in the section "Applying IBM FileNet P8 Platform changes to the Business Process Framework installation."
