Standalone Process Designer Installation- Configuring Java Custom Components-1

In the current release of browsers, the embedded applet jar file used by the IBM FileNet Workflow Process Designer is often disabled by the browser (including on my systems!). So, this Part describes the installation and configuration required to install the Windows Client Standalone Process Designer, which is then used to add a DbExecute workflow step to the Audit Master Solution we created in Chapter 1.

We will install the IBM FileNet Process Engine Client tools using the Windows client installer for IBM Content Foundation, Content Platform Engine for Windows system, which can be downloaded from the IBM Software Catalog as a zip file, ICF_5.5.0_WINDOWS_ML.zip.

We first unzip the ICF_5.5.0_WINDOWS_ML.zip software package to subfolders as in the example shown in Figure 2-169.

Next, we run the 5.5.0-ICFCPE-WIN.EXE program by right-clicking the program and selecting Run as administrator as shown in Figure 2-170.

The installation program checks for existing deployments and ensures the required prerequisites are installed.

After accepting the windows pop-up for the installer to use the Windows Administrator, we see the progress status bar shown in Figure 2-171.

After several minutes, the following initial installation window is displayed.

We click the Next command button to show the IBM License Acceptance splash screen, with a scrollable license text window.

The installation options are chosen on the next screen.

We just need to install the Client tools for the IBM Content Platform Engine, so we just select for the .NET Clients and the Tools.
