You must install the Content Manager OnDemand Web Enablement Kit (ODWEK) in the default installation location on each Content Platform Engine server that is used for content federation. Content Platform Engine uses ODWEK to access
the Content Manager OnDemand repositories.
About this task
After you install ODWEK, you must configure the
application server to support ODWEK.
Tip: This example shows you how to configure
ODWEK by using
WebSphere® Application
Server on Windows servers. However, both
ODWEK and
IBM®
FileNet® Content Manager support various
operating systems and application servers.
If you use a different application server and operating
system, verify that:
- The appropriate application server startup script is modified to include the full path of the
ODWEK installation folder to the operating system PATH and
LIBPATH (or the equivalent for your operating system) environment variables.
- Add the CLASSPATH to include the ODApi.jar file.
Procedure
To install and configure ODWEK on the Content Platform Engine server:
- Install the OnDemand Web Enablement Kit. in the default
installation location.
- Log in to the WebSphere Application
Server administrative console.
- Go to
- Enter the full path of the ODApi.jar file in the Java™ class path field. Typically, the ODApi.jar file is in following location:
| Option |
Description |
|---|
| UNIX: |
/usr/lpp/ars/www/api/ODApi.jar |
| Windows: |
C:\Program Files\IBM\OnDemand Web Enablement Kit\api\ODApi.jar |
- Save to the master configuration.
- Restart WebSphere Application
Server.
- Add the full path of the ODWEK installation folder to
the operating system PATH environment variables.
Important: If you use
ODWEK 8.5.x, add the
following paths to the operating system PATH environment variable.
- Windows
ODWEK_HOME\lib32 or
ODWEK_HOME\lib64, depending on your JVM.
For example, specify PATH=C:\Program Files\IBM\OnDemand Web Eablement Kit;C:\Program
Files\IBM\OnDemand Web Eablement Kit\lib32
- UNIX
ODWEK_HOME\lib or
ODWEK_HOME\lib64, depending on your JVM.

| Linux |
/usr/local/ibm/gsk8
/usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64

| Solaris |
/opt/ibm/gsk8

/opt/ibm/gsk8_64
|
| AIX® |
/usr/opt/ibm/gsk8
/usr/opt/ibm/gsk8_64
|
For example, specify the following value for WebSphere Application
Server on AIX if you use ODWEK 8.5:
LIBPATH=${LIBPATH}:/usr/lpp/ars/www:/usr/opt/ibm/gsk8_64/lib64 export LIBPATH
