Add-on features
An add-on feature can be a non-FileNet® product that is compatible with the FileNet P8 Platform, or an add-on feature included with the Content Platform Engine software. The add-on feature name gives a hint to the underlying functionality of the add-on, for example, Publishing Extensions provides the base functionality necessary for IBM® FileNet P8 publishing applications. In addition, the description for each add-on describes the add-on's functionality in more detail. If you create custom add-on features, you can enter a description of your choice to help consumers of your add-on decide whether to install that functionality.
You can create an add-on feature or modify an existing add-on feature. Modifying an add-on feature does not affect object stores that already use the add-on feature. You can delete add-on features that have not yet been installed; you cannot delete an add-on feature if it is currently installed in an object store.
