Objective

This document provides a step-by-step procedure for installing and configuring Cisco Enterprise Policy Manager V3.3.2.0 components on Linux, Solaris, and Windows server machines. It also provides the migration information to upgrade your existing CEPM from an older version to the latest version, that is, CEPM V3.3.0.0 and V3.3.1.0.

Audience

This guide is for administrators who use CEPM and are responsible for resource modelling and entitlement management.

What's New

This section highlights the new steps introduced while installing CEPM comapred to its previous version as given below:

Now CEPM installation is automated and can be installed via command line tools such as Command Prompt (for Windows) and Terminal (for Linux/Solaris).

Unlike previous versions, CEPM configuration and creation of database tables are done through automation (that is, by running configure.xml and createtables.xml files). Note that the database procedures must be executed manually.

While upgrading installation, ruleconversionto33.bat(sh) file must be run to update your existing application with the latest rule creation feature.

CEPM now supports Oracle 11g. For this, you must use JDK1.6.

You can provide additional language support and customize the PAP UI labels using CEPM resourcebundles.
