Installing prerequisite software
The Case Manager Builder application is deployed on WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment or on Oracle WebLogic Server. IBM® Content Navigator hosts the Case Manager Client. In development environments, IBM Case Manager also requires IBM FileNet® Workplace XT or the Process applets.
Before you begin
For details about the hardware and software requirements, see the IBM Case Manager information in the IBM FileNet P8 Hardware and Software Requirements guide.
About this task
You use the application server to deploy IBM Case Manager, IBM Content Navigator, and Workplace XT. You also use the application server to coordinate authentication between the IBM Case Manager applications and Content Platform Engine.
- Workplace XT is a client application of Content Platform Engine. In development environments, Workplace XT can be in the same profile as, or in a different profile than, IBM Case Manager. In production environments, if Workplace XT is deployed, it must be in a different profile than IBM Case Manager.
- In lieu of Workplace XT, the Process applets can provide Process Designer facilities to Case Manager Builder. For complete information about configuring the Process applets, see Configuring the Process applets to run from IBM Content Navigator.
If you are installing IBM Case Manager on a server where your application server, IBM Content Navigator, and Workplace XT or the Process applets are already installed, upgrade the software to the minimum required version before you install IBM Case Manager.
You might need to increase the memory settings in your application server to enable better performance in your deployed IBM Case Manager applications. For more information, see Adjusting the Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM) heap for IBM Case Manager.
