Clearing the web application server cache

You must clear the cache for the web application server to remove the currently deployed Content Platform Engine data to prevent conflicts with the upgraded version.

Procedure

To clear the web application server cache:

  1. Stop the application server instances that host the FileNetEngine application.
  2. Delete the cache files for your web application server.
    Important: In a high availability IBM® WebSphere® Application Server environment, you need to delete the cache files on each node in the cluster.
    Option Description
    WebSphere Application Server WAS_HOME/profiles/profilename/temp/nodename/servername/FileNetEngine/*.*
    • WAS_HOME is the WebSphere installation path. Example: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
    • profilename is profile for Content Platform Engine.
    • nodename is the WebSphere node for Content Platform Engine
    • servername is the name of the Content Platform Engine server instance where the FileNet application is deployed.
    Oracle WebLogic Server

    WL_HOME/user_projects/domains/mydomain/servers/servername/tmp/_WL_user/FileNetEngine/*.*

    WL_HOME/user_projects/domains/mydomain/servers/servername/cache/EJBCompilerCache/*.*

    • WL_HOME is the installation path for WebLogic Server.
    • mydomain is the WebLogic domain where the FileNetEngine application is deployed.
    • servername is the name of the Content Platform Engine server instance where the FileNet application is deployed.
  3. For Oracle WebLogic Server, in the Content Platform Engine configuration manager profile folder, find, backup, and then remove the plan.xml file that contains the deployment plan for the FileNetEngine application.

    The file will be regenerated when the Deploy Application task is run later in the process.
