    The table lists FileNet Deployment Manager preferences and a description of the preference.
    Preference Description
    Prompt for deployment tree on startup Select this check box to display the Select Deployment Tree Location dialog box each time you start FileNet Deployment Manager (the default). If you clear this check box, the Select Deployment Tree Location dialog is not displayed the next time that you start FileNet Deployment Manager. You can display this dialog box at any time by selecting Switch Deployment Tree from the File menu.
    Tip: You can also prevent the display of the dialog box by selecting the Use this as the default and do not ask again check box in the Select Deployment Tree Location dialog.
    Enable FIPS 140-ready mode Select this check box to enable FileNet Deployment Manager to run in FIPS 140-ready mode (the default). When you use this mode, the application does not save passwords to disk; it retains obfuscated passwords in memory. To enable passwords to be encrypted and saved in the environment definition files, clear this check box.

    For more information about how FileNet Deployment Manager handles passwords, see About passwords.

    Enable warning dialog box for many-to-one principal mappings Select this check box to display a warning dialog box if any many-to-one mappings of security principals are found during asset conversion (the default). Otherwise, if this check box is cleared, any many-to-one security principal mappings that are found are processed without displaying a warning dialog box. For more information, see Warning for many-to-one security principal mappings. For more information about many-to-one security principal mapping, see Many-to-one security principal mappings.
    Clean up output folder if export or convert operation fails Select this check box to delete incomplete output files and subfolders if the export or convert operation fails (the default).
    Export metadata assets that were created by an AddOn Select an option to specify whether you want to include metadata assets that were created by an add-on when the assets are exported. Select Always, Never, or If Modified.
    Help file location

    To access the FileNet P8 Platform documentation from this interface, enter the base documentation URL for the information center where the documentation is located. FileNet Deployment Manager uses the base help location to access the information center. The base URL tells the browser where to start looking for the context-sensitive help topic.

    You can link to the online information center on www.ibm.com (the default) or to a local information center that you install and deploy. Internet access is required for the online information center. For more information, see Installing IBM® FileNet P8 Platform documentation .

    Choose one of the following options:
    • To link to the online information center, use the following base URL:
      http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/p8docs/v5r2m0/
    • To link to a local information center, enter the base URL in the following format:
      http://server-name[:port]/application-name/
      where:
      • Server name is the name of the server where the FileNet P8 Platform documentation information center is installed.
      • Port is the optional port number.
      • Application-name is the name of the deployed FileNet P8 documentation application. If a local information center is available, the application name is typically p8docs.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Optional: To restore the preferences to their default settings, click Restore Defaults.
Important: How to disable warnings for many-to-one security principal mappings

If the Enable warning dialog box for many-to-one principal mapping check box is selected, a warning dialog box is displayed if FileNet Deployment Manager encounters any many-to-one security principal mappings during data map creation and asset conversion. If you no longer want to receive these warnings, select the Do not perform this check next time check box in the warning dialog box and click OK. Selecting this check box clears the Enable warning dialog box for many-to-one principal mapping check box from the Preferences menu. To re-enable the warning, select the check box from the Preferences dialog box. If any many-to-one security principal mappings are found, messages are generated in the log regardless of whether you choose to display a warning dialog box or not.
