Installing Content Platform Engine silently

When you install Content Platform Engine silently, you run a command in the Content Platform Engine software package that references parameters in an installation text file.

Before you begin

Be sure that you have available the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your planning activities.

Ensure all tasks described in the topic providing a JAVA Runtime Environment during install were previously completed.

Procedure

To install Content Platform Engine silently:

  1. Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
    Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the Data > Filter > AutoFilter command is enabled. To view only Content Platform Engine values, filter by CPE Installer in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. Log on as cpe_install_user to the application server machine where you are going to install the Content Platform Engine software.
  3. Navigate to the Content Platform Engine software package in the installation media.
  4. Edit the ce_silent_install.txt file to reflect the installation choices in your worksheet.
  5. Run one of the following commands in the software package, depending on your operating system:
    Platform Command
    AIX® 26.0.0.0-P8CPE-AIX.BIN -i silent -f ce_silent_install.txt
    Linux® 26.0.0.0-P8CPE-LINUX.BIN -i silent -f ce_silent_install.txt
    Linux for System z® 26.0.0.0-P8CPE-ZLINUX.BIN -i silent -f ce_silent_install.txt
    Windows 26.0.0.0-P8CPE-WIN.EXE -i silent -f ce_silent_install.txt
    The installer name that you run corresponds to the version that you want to install.
  6. When the installation completes, check for errors in the Content Platform Engine error log file ce_install_path/ce_install_log_26.0.0.0.txt, where ce_install_path is the location where Content Platform Engine is installed. Also, check the ce_install_path/ce_install_summary.txt file to see a list of the components that were installed.
