Procedure

Install the Content Assistant add-on for each object store where you want to use the Content Assistant:

  1. Access the folder where you extracted the IBM Content Assistant package.

    To install the Content Assistant add-on, you need to copy the following files into a single directory in the CPE server local file system:
    • GenAIAddOn.xml - Add-on descriptor file for the Content Assistant.
    • GenAIExtensions.xml - Import data set associated with the Content Assistant add-on.
    • GenAIPostImportScript.js - Post-import script file associated with the Content Assistant add-on.
    Important: Copy all the Content Assistant add-on files to the same directory on the CPE server local file system. These files must not be altered.
