IBM Content Navigator, Version 2.0.3 Supports: FileNet P8

Configuring distributed sessions to support session replication on WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment

Session replication is recommended for highly available IBM® FileNet® P8 environments. If you want to use session replication on WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment, you must configure distributed sessions in the IBM Content Navigator enterprise application.

About this task

When IBM Content Navigator is deployed in a clustered environment, application server sessions that access IBM FileNet P8 repositories can use session replication to ensure uninterrupted service. However, IBM Content Navigator must be configured to use distributed sessions to ensure that session replication works properly.

Important: In a Kerberos/SPNEGO single sign-on (SSO) environment, session replication is required for failover support.

Procedure

To configure IBM Content Navigator to use distributed sessions:

Open the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment deployment manager administrative console.
Go to Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications and click on the name of your deployed web application. By default, the IBM Content Navigator web application is named navigator.
Go to Web Module Properties > Session management, select Override session management, and click Apply.
Save the changes to the master configuration.
Restart the web application server for your changes to take effect.
