Object Stores

An object store is a repository for storing, managing, and accessing metadata and objects (such as documents, folders, and class descriptions).

ObjectStore Object
System administrators typically use the IBM® Administration Console for Content Platform Engine to create object stores and to expand them with addons. However, you can develop a custom application to perform these same operations.
Security
At object store creation time, users and groups that are designated as administrators or non-administrators receive default access rights to the object store and to the objects that are contained within it.
Working with Object Stores
Retrieving object stores is fundamental to all FileNet P8 client applications, but many of the operations that are exposed in the Content Engine APIs are intended for object store administration only, such as creating new object stores, setting object store security, and installing feature addons. The following code examples illustrate some of these operations.
