Configuring an isolated shared library on WebSphere Application Server

To use IBM® Content Navigator to add repository documents to Microsoft SharePoint sites on WebSphere® Application Server Version 8.0 or later, you must first configure an isolated shared library on your WebSphere Application Server.

To configure an isolated shared library:

1. Open the WebSphere Application Server administrative console and click Environment > Shared Libraries.
2. Specify the cell, node, and server that represent the scope of the shared library. For example, if the scope is myRepositoryNode01 on myServer02, the cell is myRepositoryNode01Cell, the node is myRepositoryNode01, and the server is myServer02.
3. Click New and enter a name for the shared library. For example, enter SharePointSharedLib.
4. To include the JAR files in the shared library, specify the class file path where the JAR files are located. The default class file path on Windows is C:\Program Files\IBM\ECMClient\configure\sharePointLib.
5. Select Use an isolated class loader for this shared library and save your changes.
6. Associate the shared library with the navigator module:
   1. Click Application > WebSphere Enterprise Applications > navigator > Shared Library References
   2. In the Module section, select the navigator box and click Reference shared libraries.
   3. Select the shared library that you created and save your changes.
7. Restart the web application server. After you restart the web application server, your isolated shared library is established. Then, a successful connection can be established when you use the IBM Content Navigator administration tool to create a new repository that represents a Microsoft SharePoint site or subsite.
