You must create a target object store for each project area.

Before you begin

Prepare appropriate users and groups to assign in the object store creation.

Procedure

To create a target object store for a project area:

  1. Create an object store in IBM Content Cortex.
    For more information, see Defining object stores External link opens a new window or tab.
    1. For object store creation, on the page where you specify the add-ons to install, click Default Application Configuration to select the add-ons that are required by IBM® Business Automation Workflow.
      • Content Engine base extensions are required for all Content Platform Engine configurations.
      • Process Engine extensions are required to allow users to be members of multiple case project areas.
      • Base application extensions are a prerequisite for search extensions and the Workplace base extensions.
      • Search extensions are required to browse and search for content in IBM Content Navigator.
      • Workplace base extensions are required to browse and search for content in IBM Content Navigator
      • Workplace template extensions are required to open folders in IBM Content Navigator.
  2. If you have not already created a workflow system to contain isolated regions, create one now.
    For more information, see Creating a workflow system External link opens a new window or tab.
  3. Convert the object store to a case management target object store.
    1. Start the IBM Business Automation Workflow Case administration client .
      Enter the following URL in a browser:
      http://server:port/navigator/?desktop=bawadmin
      server is the IBM Content Navigator server name or IP address.
      port is the IBM Content Navigator port number.
    2. In the navigation tree in the left pane, right-click the object store, select Convert to Target Object Store, and complete the steps.

What to do next

After you create the target object store, you can define and register the project area. If you plan to use the Timeline Visualizer widget to view case history for your project area, set up a case history store.
