Running the Composite Platform Installation Tool silently
If you choose to run the Composite Platform Installation Tool silently, you must
specify the appropriate values in the silent input text file. When you run the
command and specify the silent input text file, the tool runs the installation and
configuration automatically.
On AIX or Linux systems, ensure that the gunzip program is available in /usr/bin
before you run the installation task.
To run the Composite Platform Installation Tool silently:

1. Log on to the server, as appropriate for your operating system:
Option Description
Windows Log on as a member of the local
Administrators group.

2. Navigate to the Composite Platform Installation Tool software.

3. Edit the license agreement values in a text file in the package. This editing step
accepts the license agreements for all the software components that are installed
by the Composite Platform Installation Tool.
a. If the CDroot/cpit.properties file is on a CD or DVD device, copy the file
to a local file system.
b. Open the CDroot/cpit.properties file on the local file system, and change
the LICENSE_ACCEPTED_# parameter to TRUE for each software component.
c. Save and close the file.

4. If the cpit_silent_install.txt file is on a CD or DVD device, copy the file to
a local file system.

5. Edit the cpit_silent_install.txt file on the local file system with the values
for your installation:
a. Open cpit_silent_install.txt for editing.
b. In the file, set LICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE.
c. Set USER_SELECTED_FOLDER to the full path for the download directory
you created, for example, /download_path/Platform_Downloads.
d. Save and close the file.

6. Run the installation tool:
Option Description
Windows 5.2.0-CPIT-WIN.EXE -i silent -f
path_to_file\cpit_silent_install.txt Installation
The installation processes can take approximately two to three hours. You can
ignore or close any component administrative tools that display during the
installation.

7. If the installation does not complete, check the cpit_install_stderr.txt and
cpit_install_stdout.txt log files for details. These files are located in the /tmp
directory on AIX or Linux, or in the TEMP folder on Windows.

FILENET OVERVIEW

FileNet anteriormente era una compañia independiente, actualmente fue asimilada por IBM, y se dedica a desarrollar software para ayudar a las empresas a realizar procesos de negocio y de manejo de contenido. La versión P8, es un framework para desarrollar sistemas empresariales personalizados, ofreciendo mucha mas funcionalidad out of the box y tiene capacidades para ser facilmente personalizable para procesos de negocios y soluciones electronicas.

Process

The system must support process modeling and workflows. It must intelligently

handle not only predicable work but also workflows that must address new or

unique solutions on demand.

It must allow the business to monitor work in progress and enable historical

analysis to drive process improvement.

The IBM FileNet P8 Platform enables enterprise solutions by providing a breadth
and depth of core functionality. FileNet Content Manager provides content,
security, and storage. FileNet Business Process Manager supplies workflows,
decision making, and productivity. These two core solutions facilitate resolving
critical organization needs and optimizing business outcomes.
FileNet P8 helps organizations optimize processes, shorten production times,
and improve productivity and accuracy. It includes process design and simulation
tools, electronic forms, application development frameworks, and monitoring and
reporting tools. It also includes user interface designed for the business user.
FileNet Content Manager also supports collaboration, and widgets, integration
with Microsoft® Office 2007 and more.
The P8 Platform also supports rapid application development, leveraging Web
2.0 technology in user-oriented application environments. This accelerates
creation and deployment of case-based applications across the enterprise.
FileNet comes with pre-wired ECM Widgets in a Web 2.0 Mashup-based
framework that accelerates creating solutions and reduces dependence on IT
resources. By using open standards, corporations harness maximum flexibility
and interoperability with popular third-party applications and frameworks.

Application interfaces
P8 Platform provides several options for application interfaces.
Workplace and Workplace XT
Workplace and Workplace XT are web interfaces that expose both content
management and business processes in an intuitive full-featured application.
Workplace and Workplace XT are two different applications, but both access the
process engine and content engine with slightly varying functionality. Workplace
is customizable while Workplace XT is not.
IBM FileNet integration for Microsoft Office
A component of IBM FileNet Content Manager and IBM Business Process
Manager, IBM FileNet Integration for Microsoft Office is a tightly integrated
interface exposing tasks, processes, and content management.

 IBM FileNet eForms
A component of IBM FileNet Business Process Manager, IBM FileNet eForms
provides an electronic alternative to paper forms. With an easy to use visual
design environment, eForms creates highly intelligent forms without requiring
coding or scripting.
IBM FileNet Business Process Framework
A component of IBM FileNet Business Process Manager, IBM FileNet Business
Process Framework is a flexible foundation that accelerates application
development and time-to-market while reducing development effort. It includes
case-based functionality, role management, and work distribution. Workplace
works with Business Process Framework. Workplace XT does not.
ECM widgets
FileNet P8 Platform streamlines development with out-of-the-box, pre-wired
widgets enabling drag-and-drop applications. With widget support, the P8
Platform enables business analysts to easily create rich composite applications.
