IBM Content Navigator, Version 2.0.3     Supports:  FileNet P8

Integrating IBM FileNet P8 workflows in IBM Content Navigator

You can configure the IBM® Content Navigator web client to display IBM FileNet® P8 workflows. To use the workflows, you must prepare Process Engine for IBM Content Navigator and configure the repositories and desktops in your environment to display the workflows.

Before you begin

The tasks in this section assume that:
  • You are running a supported version of Process Engine.
  • You configured Process Engine for IBM Content Navigator when you ran the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool.

About this task

You can configure IBM Content Navigator to access your custom IBM FileNet P8 workflows and to use predefined workflows that are included with the IBM Content Navigator installation media.

The predefined workflows that are included with the IBM Content Navigator installation media are designed to facilitate document reviews. IBM Content Navigator provides the following predefined workflows:
Parallel document approval workflow
The parallel document approval workflow enables users to assign a document review to multiple reviewers at the same time. The reviewers can access and approve the document any time during the review period, and no one reviewer depends on another person to finish a review first because the reviews run concurrently.
Sequential document approval workflow
The sequential document approval workflow enables users to assign a document review to a group of reviewers in a specific order. No reviewer can start their review until the previous reviewer approves the document.

You can use the predefined document review workflows in IBM Content Navigator and in IBM Content Navigator for Microsoft Office.

Important: If you have a workflow subscription configured for a document or folder class, the workflow subscription takes precedence over the predefined document review workflows. If you want to use both custom workflows and the predefined document workflows, you must add the predefined document review workflows to the workflow subscription for the class or folder.

To integrate IBM FileNet P8 workflows in IBM Content Navigator, you must complete the following tasks.
