IBM Content Navigator, Version 2.0.3 Supports: FileNet P8

Planning for IBM FileNet Content Manager

You can use IBM® FileNet® Content Manager as one of your IBM Content Navigator repositories.

Important: Before you install IBM Content Navigator, ensure that you are running supported versions of IBM FileNet Content Engineand, optionally, IBM FileNet Process Engine.

IBM Content Navigator and IBM FileNet P8 components

IBM Content Navigator interacts with various components of your IBM FileNet P8 system, including:

IBM FileNet P8 security policies: IBM Content Navigator has four levels of security: Owner, Author, Reader, and No Access. However, individual rights can be viewed and modified. To properly control the security of objects in the repository, you must set security policies in IBM FileNet Content Engine, IBM FileNet Workplace XT, or IBM FileNet Application Engine.
Content Engine: IBM Content Navigator uses the Content Engine client connector files to communicate with IBM FileNet Content Manager. When you install IBM Content Navigator, a version of the Content Engine client connector files are installed on the IBM Content Navigator server. IBM Content Navigator and IBM FileNet Content Manager must run the same version of the Content Engine client connector files. If they are not running the same version, you can use the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool to download the version of the files that are on your Content Engine server.
Process Engine: IBM Content Navigator uses the Process Engine client connector files to access IBM FileNet P8 workflows on your IBM FileNet Content Manager repository. When you install IBM Content Navigator, a version of the Process Engine client connector files are installed on the IBM Content Navigator server. If you plan to use IBM FileNet P8 workflows from IBM Content Navigator, IBM Content Navigator and IBM FileNet Content Manager must run the same version of the Process Engine client connector files. If they are not running at the same version, you must install the correct version of the Process Engine connector files on the IBM Content Navigator server before you run the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool.
