FileNet P8 Platform, Version 5.2

Installing FileNet P8 documentation

FileNet P8 documentation is distributed as part of a larger FileNet P8 information center. From the various user and administrative applications, you can either link to the online version of the information center on www.ibm.com or link to a local copy of the information center that you install and deploy.

The advantages of linking to the ibm.com® information center are:

You do not have to maintain a documentation server and information center.
You do not have to install any documentation in your environment, except for what is automatically installed within some of the FileNet P8 software components.
The documentation is always up to date.

If you want to use the online information center, specify the base documentation URL for the online information center when you create the FileNet® P8 domain or configure various user and administrative applications.

For more information about specifying the base documentation URL for either the online information center or a locally installed information center, see Administering FileNet P8 > Administering Content Platform Engine > Getting started > Updating the base documentation URL for the FileNet P8 domain.

If you want to access the documentation locally in your FileNet P8 environment, you must install and deploy the information center WAR file as a web application on a supported application server.
