IBM Content Navigator, Version 2.0.3 Supports: CMIS for FileNet P8

Worksheet for configuring IBM CMIS for FileNet Content Manager

If you want to enable client applications that use the OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services standard to work with content that is stored on an IBM® FileNet® Content Manager repository, work with your IBM FileNet P8 administrator to gather the information that you need to configure the IBM CMIS for FileNet Content Manager web application. 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.

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 IBM CMIS for IBM FileNet Content Manager

Table 1. Parameters required to connect to your IBM FileNet Content Manager environment
Parameter	Description	Value
Content Engine server host name	The short name, long name, or IP address of the Content Engine or Content Platform Engine server. You can point to a node in your deployment or to the web services load balancer. You cannot point to the deployment manager. The server can be local or remote. For a local server, enter the short name of the server. For a remote server, enter the long name or IP address of the server.
Port number	The IIOP or T3 port number of your Content Engine or Content Platform Engine deployment. You can get this information from your Content Engine or Content Platform Engine administrator or from the web application server where Content Engine or Content Platform Engine is deployed. On WebSphere® Application Server, the default port number is 2809. On Oracle WebLogic Server, the default port number is 7001.
FileNet P8 domain name	Optional If you do not specify an IBM FileNet P8 domain, IBM CMIS connects to the default domain.
Client Engine metadata cache time to live	Specify the length of time (in milliseconds) that the Content Engine metadata is kept in the Content Engine Client Metadata Cache. The default value is 3600000 milliseconds. Advanced configuration parameter name: CMC_TIME_TO_LIVE. For more information, see the parameter description in the IBM FileNet P8 information center.
Client server cache time to live	Specify the length of time (in milliseconds) that object stores are kept in the client-side server cache. The default value is 3600000 milliseconds. Advanced configuration parameter name: CRC_TIME_TO_LIVE. For more information, see the parameter description in the IBM FileNet P8 information center.
IBM CMIS URL	This parameter is optional for most configurations. It is recommended that you do not specify a value for this parameter unless one of the following situations applies to your environment: You want to force client applications to access IBM CMIS through a specific URL Your proxy server settings cause IBM CMIS to produce invalid URLs Specify the URL by which client applications can access IBM CMIS. The URL has the format: `http://host_name:port_number`. Advanced configuration parameter name: cmisURI.
Copy content stream	Specify whether to copy the content stream of a checked out document to the content stream of the private working copy. The default value is true. Advanced configuration parameter name: checkout_copycontent.
Maximum number of items to return	Optional Specify the maximum number of items to return when an HTTP request does not specify a value for the maxItems parameter. The default value is 25. Advanced configuration parameter name: defaultMaxItems.
Cache CVLs	Specify whether to cache controlled vocabulary lists (CVLs) for all users. Caching CVLs improves the performance of IBM CMIS. However, if you cache the CVLs for all users, IBM CMIS ignores the security settings that are configured for IBM FileNet Content Manager CVLs. You should set this parameter to false if you have security settings configured for your CVLs and you need IBM CMIS to honor those settings. Advanced configuration parameter name: CVL_Cache.
Secure the metadata cache	Specify whether to secure class definition metadata or cache class definition metadata for all users. Caching class definition metadata improves the performance of IBM CMIS. However, if you cache the class definition metadata, IBM CMIS displays the Creator and DateCreated properties to all users regardless of their access control list (ACL) permissions. You should set this parameter to true if you do not want to cache the class metadata because you want IBM CMIS to honor the ACL settings for the Creator and DateCreated properties. Advanced configuration parameter name: SecureMetadataCache.
Return hidden properties	Specify whether to return hidden properties to client applications. Excluding hidden properties from responses improves the performance of IBM CMIS. You should set this parameter to true if you want IBM CMIS to return hidden properties to client applications. Advanced configuration parameter name: filterHiddenProperties.
Query time limit	Specify the maximum length of time (in seconds) to run a query on the repository. If the query is not complete after the time limit elapses, control is returned to IBM CMIS. The default value is 180 seconds. To use the default query time limit that is configured for the repository, set the value to 0. Advanced configuration parameter name: queryTimeLimit.
