As an administrator, you configure the FileNet® P8 domain, install add-on
features, and export and import objects within or between FileNet P8 domains.
FileNet P8 domains
The FileNet P8 domain
represents a logical grouping of physical resources and the Content Platform Engine servers that provide
access to those resources. Each resource and server belong to only
one domain. A server can access any resource in the domain, but cannot
access any resource that lies outside of the domain.
Add-on features
Add-on features are modules containing custom metadata
(classes and properties) and data (objects such as folders, custom
objects, and so on) that support extensions to core Content Platform Engine features, as well as
support applications that integrate with Content Platform Engine. An add-on feature
can be a non-FileNet product that is compatible with the FileNet P8
Platform, or an add-on feature
included with the Content Platform Engine software.
The add-on feature name gives a hint to the underlying functionality
of the add-on, for example, 4.5.0 Publishing Extensions provides the
base functionality necessary for IBM FileNet P8 publishing
applications. In addition, the description for each add-on describes
the add-on's functionality in more detail. If you create custom add-on
features, you can enter a description of your choice to help consumers
of your add-on decide whether to install that functionality.
Exporting and importing (Enterprise Manager only)
This section describes how to use Enterprise Manager to export Content Platform Engine objects in an XML format,
and then import those objects into an object store in the same or
a different FileNet P8 domain.
