Workplace XT is an end-user web application that provides access to the document management capabilities of, and is tightly integrated with the business process management capabilities of, FileNet P8. Workplace XT is an optional FileNet P8 platform component (acting as Application Engine in our scenario). It provides access to the process and content functionality of FileNet P8 CE/PE. Workplace XT can be installed in addition to or in place of an Application Engine (AE). Workplace XT protects user credentials passed between Workplace XT and Content Engine and, if configured, provides SSL security.

Note: The application engine was not used during the measurements, but was used for setup and verification purposes.
