IBM Content Navigator, Version 2.0.3     Supports:  FileNet P8

Worksheet for configuring Process Engine for IBM Content Navigator

If you plan to use IBM® Content Navigator to connect to IBM FileNet® P8 repositories and you use IBM FileNet P8 workflows, work with your workflow system administrator to gather the information that you need to connect to your workflow system. The IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool requires that you enter values prepared in advance. The worksheet is a useful place to put these values.

Remember: You need to gather this information only if you have a workflow system, such as Process Engine, installed and configured and you plan to use IBM FileNet P8 workflows in IBM Content Navigator.

Print this worksheet and enter values as you prepare your installation.

Use this worksheet when you complete the following configuration and deployment task in the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool:
  • Configure Process Engine for IBM Content Navigator

The IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool uses this information to format an existing isolated region on your Process Engine server for IBM Content Navigator by registering the application and creating the IBM Content Navigator step processors in the region.
