Configuring IBM BPM with a new external ECM server

You might be currently working with the IBM® BPM content store to store Enterprise Content Manager (ECM) information in IBM Business Process Manager. But you might want to work instead with a new external ECM system. You can configure IBM BPM to work with a new external ECM system. This configuration continues to use the existing domain and object store without migrating the data from the IBM BPM content store.

About this task

Note: You cannot reverse this configuration and return to using the IBM BPM content store. Once configured, you must always use the external ECM server.

In addition to the topics that explain the configuration, see Configuring Content Platform Engine into a new application server instance with a new profile. Configuring with a new profile, which is necessary for this configuration, is discussed. Details on the steps that follow are also provided.
