Configuring FileNet P8 Connector actions

You must create an Export ruleset and configure its rules and functions with FileNet® P8 Connector actions to upload documents from Datacap applications into Content Engine.

About this task

Datacap Connector for FileNet Content Manager actions can upload images from a Datacap batch to the IBM® FileNet Content Server library by using the IBM FileNet P8 XML web service.

Procedure

To configure FileNet P8 Connector actions:

  1. Install the IBM FileNet P8 Runtime Environment and its prerequisites. For more information, see the IBM FileNet P8 installation instructions.
  2. Install the IBM FileNet Content Engine Client files that are provided with the Content Engine Server installation program. The version of the Content Engine Client you install must match the version of the Content Engine Server. Run the installation program that matches the version of the installed Content Engine Server.
    Version Part Number Installation program
    IBM Content Manager 5.1 CI1NIML 5.1.0-P8CE-Win.exe
    IBM Content Manager 5.0 CZS02ML 5.0.0-P8CE-Win.exe
  3. Verify the URL and the version of the FileNet P8 Server. For example, http://myp8server:9080/wsi/FNCEWS40MTOM
  4. Add the FileNet P8 Connector actions (FileNetP8.RRX) to the Export rulesets.

Example

The following example describes an Export To P8 ruleset that logs on to the Content Engine server. Then, it uploads a single page document into the Content Engine repository.

The ruleset contains the Connect to CE and AddDocument rules. The Connect to CE rule contains the Logon function and actions you must run to make the connection to Content Engine. The AddDocument rule contains the AddPage function with actions that define the title and format of the page, and upload the page.
