You
can upgrade the Content Platform Engine software silently. For application
servers running on AIX®, Linux®, or Linux on System z®, you upgrade Content Platform Engine
Server and tools. For application servers running on Windows, you upgrade or install these components, as needed: Content Platform Engine Server, tools, and .NET Clients.
Procedure
To upgrade Content Platform Engine software
silently:
-
If you are upgrading on the same machine where Content Platform Engine
was previously installed, log on as the same user who originally installed that software. The
installation program requires this to detect that it is an upgrade and to use the same installation
path. If you are upgrading on a new machine, where Content Platform Engine
has never been installed, log on as the cpe_install_user. The latter would be the
case where you are doing a migration upgrade, installing on a new machine but upgrading an existing
database.
-
Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the command is enabled. To view only Content Platform Engine
values, filter by CPE Installer in the Installation or
Configuration Program column.
- Edit the ce_silent_install.txt
file by providing the values from your worksheet.
- 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.
-
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.
