IBM FileNet P8, Version 5.2

Prepare scripts for import (Enterprise Manager only)

You can add either JScript or VBScript files to run at various points during the import process. This feature is available for both manual and automatic imports.

Important: The use of Enterprise Manager or its related command-line tool to create an export manifest, or to export or import objects, is deprecated. Use FileNet® Deployment Manager instead for these operations. For more information, see Exporting and importing.

You can either create your own scripts or use the sample scripts provided with your product. When you use a sample script, save a copy to the User Scripts folder and modify it for your production environment.

FileNet P8 installs sample VBScript files under the following file path:

C:\Program Files\FileNet\ContentEngine\Scripts\Component Library

On the Scripts tab, you can browse to the folder that contains the user-defined script files. By default, the system looks for user scripts under the following file path:

C:\Program Files\FileNet\ContentEngine\Scripts\User Scripts

Tip: To make it easier to find your user-defined scripts, save them in this default user scripts folder.

The following topics provide helper script functions and a deployment scenario that applies the sample VBScript files.
