Installing FileNet P8 5.0 or 5.1

Collector Server requires Content Engine Client and Process Engine Client of FileNet P8. For details about how to install these clients, see the appropriate IBM® FileNet P8 product documentation. Ensure that both clients have the same version.

Procedure

In addition, complete these steps:

  1. To access the clients, Collector Server must know the fully qualified paths to all JAR files of Content Engine Client and to specific JAR files of Process Engine Client. You specify the paths later when you configure the Collector Server instance. The JAR files are installed together with Content Engine Client and Process Engine Client.
    Collector Server must have access to the following JAR files of Process Engine Client:
    pe.jar
    peResources.jar
    mailapi.jar
    In addition, Collector Server must have access to the following JAR files of Content Engine Client:
    Jace.jar
    log4j.jar
    stax-api.jar
    xlxpScanner.jar
    xlxpScannerUtils.jar
    For more information about these JAR files, go to the appropriate FileNet P8 product documentation in IBM Knowledge Center and search for the following strings:
    • “Required Files for Application Development”
    • “Required Java™ Archive (JAR) Files”
    The class path might look as follows:
    • LinuxUNIX
      /opt/IBM/FileNet/BPMClient/files/pe.jar:
         /opt/IBM/FileNet/BPMClient/files/peResources.jar:
         /opt/IBM/FileNet/BPMClient/files/mailapi.jar:
         /opt/IBM/FileNet/CEClient/lib/Jace.jar:
         /opt/IBM/FileNet/CEClient/lib/log4j.jar:
         /opt/IBM/FileNet/CEClient/lib/stax-api.jar:
         /opt/IBM/FileNet/CEClient/lib/xlxpScanner.jar:
         /opt/IBM/FileNet/CEClient/lib/xlxpScannerUtils.jar
    • Windows
      C:\Program Files\IBM\FileNet\BPMClient\files\pe.jar;
         C:\Program Files\IBM\FileNet\BPMClient\files\peResources.jar;
         C:\Program Files\IBM\FileNet\BPMClient\files\mailapi.jar;
         C:\Program Files\IBM\FileNet\CEClient\lib\Jace.jar;
         C:\Program Files\IBM\FileNet\CEClient\lib\log4j.jar;
         C:\Program Files\IBM\FileNet\CEClient\lib\stax-api.jar;
         C:\Program Files\IBM\FileNet\CEClient\lib\xlxpScanner.jar;
         C:\Program Files\IBM\FileNet\CEClient\lib\xlxpScannerUtils.jar
    Important: For better readability, the paths are shown on several lines. When you specify them in the server configuration profile, specify the paths on one line.
  2. If FileNet P8 uses the DB2® database in Oracle compatibility mode or uses the Oracle database, and if you plan to link archived documents to SAP that are in a P8 queue, you must apply a fix to Content Collector for SAP and a fix to FileNet P8. Starting with Fix Pack 1 of Content Collector for SAP, only the FileNet P8 fix needed.
    Contact IBM Support for the fixes.
