An add-on feature bundles together a set of IBM® FileNet® P8 custom metadata that an
application can use to support document management features.
The add-on features must be registered in the IBM FileNet P8 domain before use. The
add-on feature must be installed on an object store to be used by
or available to an application. Use either IBM FileNet Enterprise Manager or Administration Console for Content Platform
Engine to manage add-on features
with object stores.
An add-on feature can depend on other add-on features. IBM FileNet Enterprise Manager or Administration Console for Content Platform
Engine manages these dependencies
during add-on feature installation by automatically selecting all
add-on feature prerequisites that are not already installed.
To install add-on features:
- Install the FileNet P8 Version
5.2 add-on features to your FileNet P8 domain.
- Determine which add-on features will be installed to your object
store.
- Install the add-on features to your object store by using either IBM FileNet Enterprise Manager or Administration Console for Content Platform
Engine.
