Verifying your IBM FileNet Collaboration Services deployment

Before you use IBM FileNet Collaboration Services to enable IBM Connections users to store content on IBM FileNet P8, you must verify that your IBM FileNet Collaboration Services web application was successfully deployed to your web application server.

Before you begin

Ensure that you completed the following tasks:
  1. Ran all of the tasks in the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool
  2. Completed any required post-deployment tasks on your web application server
  3. Restarted the web application server where you deployed your IBM FileNet Collaboration Services application

See the completed Worksheet for verifying your deployment when you complete this task.

Procedure

To verify that IBM FileNet Collaboration Services was successfully installed and deployed:

Verify that you can access the IBM FileNet Collaboration Services status page:
  1. Open a web browser and enter the URL with the following format: http://host_name:port_number/context_root.
    By default, the IBM FileNet Collaboration Services context root is dm.
    Tip: The format of the URL can vary depending on your environment:
    • If you deployed IBM FileNet Collaboration Services to a highly available cluster, the URL must point to the load balancing server: http://load_balancer_host_name:load_balancer_port_number/context_root.
    • If you are using SSL, the protocol of the URL is HTTPS: https://host_name:port_number/context_root.
    • If you are using IBM Security Access Manager for single sign-on (SSO), the URL is http://TAM_server_name/context_root.

What to do next

After you verify your deployment, you must install the add-ons that are required for IBM FileNet Collaboration Services to your object stores. You can also complete any additional administration tasks before you use IBM FileNet Collaboration Services with IBM Connections.
