IBM FileNet Content Platform Engine Client (IBM FileNet Collaboration Services server)
The Content Platform Engine Client enables IBM FileNet Collaboration Services to communicate with the IBM FileNet Content Manager server. You must install the version of the Content Platform Engine Client that is included with the version of the Content Engine to which you are connecting.
It is recommended that you install the Content Platform Engine Client after you install IBM FileNet Collaboration Services because you must add the Content Engine Client API files to the IBM FileNet Collaboration Services installation directory.
However, if the Content Engine Client is already installed on the machine when you install IBM FileNet Collaboration Services, you must run the Content Engine Client installation program again to add the Content Engine Client API files to the IBM FileNet Collaboration Services installation directory.
Server virtualization technologies
Additional support statements
IBM FileNet Collaboration Services is IPv6 compliant. You must review the vendor documentation to ensure functionality and support.
- The operating system level, the database level, the application server, JRE, cluster server software, and the browser version must be certified as IPv6 compliant by the vendor. Before planning a IBM FileNet Collaboration Services IPv6 deployment, it is recommended that you verify the IPv6 compatibility of each of the vendor’s products in your environment.
Sizing and capacity planning
IBM FileNet Collaboration Services requires a minimum of:
- Disk space: 200 MB
- Memory: 1 GB
The amount of necessary CPU processing power, RAM, and disk space vary depending on your specific workload and your desired system capacity and performance. To build the best working system for your needs, build a test system and then move the system into production after you verify that it meets your needs.
