[Optional]Enabling Intelligent Document Processing

Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) in watsonx Orchestrate refers to AI-powered capabilities that automatically extract information from documents and classify them into categories. This functionality helps automate document-heavy workflows and reduces manual data entry tasks. After you successfully install or upgrade watsonx Orchestrate from previous version to Version 5.4.x, you can run the script to enable IDP.

Note: You must enable IDP if you intend to use Agent knowledge, document based interactions in chat, or both.

Prerequisites

  • You must have access to the Red Hat® OpenShift® cluster with appropriate permissions.
  • You must have admin access to the watsonx Orchestrate namespace.
  • Ensure that the install or upgrade process is successful.

Before you begin

To support the following features, you must configure a supported model for IDP through external AI Gateway. For more information, see Supported models for Intelligent Document Processing (IDP).
