IBM Content Navigator, Version 2.0.3

Task manager architecture

The Enterprise Content Management task manager is a REST web application that can be used to run background or asynchronous tasks for any repositories.

The task manager component is bundled with IBM® Content Navigator installation inside of a single EAR file. It is also possible to take the generated WAR file from the IBM Content Navigator configuration tool and install it onto any supported Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 6 compliant web application server.

Users can communicate with the task manager component directly by using its REST APIs. Users can also communicate with the task manager component through IBM Content Navigator which calls the task manager services and JavaScript APIs.

The task manager component stores all of its data in a set of database tables, which are typically collocated with the configuration tables from IBM Content Navigator.
