IBM FileNet Content Manager working with Content Analyzer

Processing overview

Fig

• The checked in Content Manager documents (1 in fig) can be submitted to Content Analyzer by either:
  • A sweep job (2 in fig).
  • Document check-in event subscription (2 in fig).
• The documents are submitted to Content Analyzer through a Content Manager request queue (3 in fig).
  • The request queue (4 in fig) submits [only] the first content transfer element of the document to Content Analyzer for processing.
  • The request queue then defers the request (puts it back in the queue) to give Content Analyzer time to analyze the content (4 and 5 in fig).
  • The request queue periodically checks the request to see whether Content Analyzer has completed processing.
  • Content Analyzer analyzes the content based on the ontology that is defined on the Content Analyzer side, producing JSON output that contains analytical details about the content (6 in fig).
  • When Content Analyzer processing is completed, the JSON created by Content Analyzer is obtained (8 in fig). The updates are made to the document (9 in fig) based on a class and property mapping, which is stored on the Content Manager side.
  • After the document updates have been made, the Content Analyzer content (for example, the "analyzer doc") is deleted.
