If you plan to use the IBM® Content
Navigator web
client to access IBM FileNet® P8 repositories, you must configure the
web application to use the version of the client connector files that match the version of
Content Engine or Content Platform Engine
that you are running.
Before you begin
Ensure that you are running a supported version of
Content Engine or
Content Platform Engine before
you run this task.
This task assumes that you have a configuration profile open
in the IBM Content
Navigator Configuration and Deployment
Tool.
About this task
This task applies to FileNet P8 users only.
When you install IBM Content
Navigator, a version of the Content Engine client connector files is installed on the IBM Content
Navigator server. The version of the files on the IBM Content
Navigator server must match the version of Content Engine or Content Platform Engine that
you are running.
The IBM Content
Navigator installation program includes information
about the version of the Content Engine client connector files
that are installed with IBM Content
Navigator. If the version of the
files that are installed with IBM Content
Navigator do not match the
version of the files on your Content Engine or Content Platform Engine server, you can use the IBM Content
Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool to connect to the
server to download and install the correct version of the files.
Tip: If you are using the wizard to configure the web application and
you want to skip this task, click Advanced.
Procedure
To update the client connector files:
- Open the following task in your configuration profile: Update the IBM FileNet
P8 Client Connector Files.
- Complete the task by using the values that you entered in the Worksheet for updating the FileNet P8 client connector files.
Tip: You can use the Test Content Engine Connection
button to ensure that you entered the information about your Content Engine deployment correctly.
- Click Next to run the task.
If you are manually running the tasks in the IBM Content
Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool, you can take
one of the following actions:
- Click Run Task to run the task now. This option is
recommended because it makes it easier to troubleshoot and resolve problems if they
occur.
- Wait until all of the tasks are complete and then click Run All
Tasks to run all of the tasks that are required to configure and deploy
the web application.
- Restart the IBM Content
Navigator Configuration and Deployment
Tool before you complete any other tasks. When you restart the Configuration and Deployment Tool, it updates the other tasks for
your IBM FileNet P8 environment.
What to do next
Important: If you upgrade the version of the Content Engine server that you are running, you must rerun this task in
the IBM Content
Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool. After
you rerun this task, you must rebuild and redeploy the web application EAR file.
