After you configure the IBM
FileNet Content Federation Services viewer plug-in, you
can open and view documents that are federated to IBM
FileNet Content Manager from IBM Content Manager OnDemand.
Before you begin
You must have IBM
FileNet Content Federation Services for Content Manager
OnDemand installed
and configured.
About this task
The IBM
FileNet Content Federation Services viewer plug-in only enables users to view federated content. Users cannot complete authoring actions, such as downloading documents. If you do not want users to see authoring actions, you can optionally:
- Create custom menus that do not include authoring actions
- Assign the menus to the desktops from which users access the IBM
FileNet Content Federation Services viewer plug-in
Users cannot preview federated content in the web viewer or download this type of document as a PDF.
Procedure

FileNet Content Federation Services viewer
plug-in:
-
In the IBM Content Navigator administration
tool, click Plug-ins, and then click New
Plug-in.

Enter the location of the deployed cfsplugin.jar file:
- Enter the fully qualified URL of the JAR file with the following
format:http://host_name:port_number/IBM_Content_Navigator_installation_directory/plugins/cfsplugin.jar
If
the JAR file is on a remote server, you must enter the URL of the
plug-in file.
- Enter the fully qualified path of the JAR file on your local
file system. For example:

If you use the fully qualified path of
the plug-in file, you must add a copy of the plug-in file to each
node in your cluster.
