You can integrate several IBM® FileNet® P8 applications with
IBM Content
Navigator.
IBM FileNet Workplace XT and IBM FileNet Application Engine
If you have an existing IBM FileNet P8 system and use IBM FileNet Application Engine or IBM FileNet Workplace XT, you can
continue to use these applications after you install IBM Content
Navigator.
The following features can be used in
IBM Content
Navigator but
require
IBM FileNet Application Engine or
IBM FileNet Workplace XT to be set up and configured:
- Stored Searches (IBM Content
Navigator can create search
templates)
- Workflows
- Workflow email notification
- Workflow subscriptions
- Document and folder entry templates
- Entry template with workflows
- Folders with entry template associations
- Security Policies
In
IBM Content
Navigator, users can launch workflows, review and
approve work items, and assign work to other users. When you install
IBM Content
Navigator, you must complete the following tasks to enable the web
client to access
IBM FileNet P8 workflows:
- Use the IBM Content
Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool to
configure Process Engine for IBM Content
Navigator. When you run this task, IBM Content
Navigator registers the IBM Content
Navigator application and creates the IBM Content
Navigator step processor in the isolated region. For more
information, see Configuring Process Engine for IBM Content Navigator (FileNet P8).
- Use IBM FileNet Process Engine Configuration Console to configure the
server base URLs for the web application workflows that you want to view through IBM Content
Navigator.
- Use IBM FileNet Process Engine Configuration Console to create an
application space for IBM Content
Navigator. For more information, see
Creating an application space for IBM Content Navigator.
Integrating with IBM Enterprise
Records
If a document is declared as a record in the IBM FileNet P8
repository, IBM Content
Navigator recognizes the document as a record
and displays the record icon. However, IBM Content
Navigator does not
include other actions or features that are related to records management. You do not need to
perform any actions to integrate IBM Content
Navigator with IBM Enterprise
Records.
Integrating with IBM Watson
Content Analytics
If you have
IBM Watson
Content Analytics installed and configured,
you can use
IBM Watson
Content Analytics plug-in
that is included with
IBM Content
Navigator.
The plug-in enables users to search one or more
IBM Watson
Content Analytics collections from the
IBM Content
Navigator web client. When a user
enters search terms in the search field in the global toolbar, the
plug-in provides:
- Type-ahead search suggestions
- An estimated number of results for the search terms
When the user runs the search, the Analytics view
opens and displays the full list of search results, the facet tree,
and the dynamic facet tree. The user can then view and work with the
documents that are returned by the result.
To use the IBM Watson
Content Analytics plug-in, you must register
and configure the plug-in in the IBM Content
Navigator administration tool.
For more information, see Configuring the IBM Content Analytics plug-in.
