Immediately after performing a base install of the Content Platform Engine, what action should be taken next?
IBM's installation guidance for Content Platform Engine specifies that once the base installer finishes, the administrator must inspect the installation log file (such as ce_install_log_5.x.x.txt) and the accompanying install summary file for any reported errors. Any errors found must be resolved before continuing with subsequent tasks — such as installing fix packs, deploying the engine to the application server, or starting the server — because an incomplete or flawed base installation can cause downstream configuration and deployment failures that are harder to diagnose later. This log review step is a standard, documented checkpoint in the IBM FileNet P8 / Content Platform Engine installation and troubleshooting process.
