Configuring the crawler server to support Case Manager and FileNet P8 crawlers

Before you configure a FileNet P8 or Case Manager crawler, you must install the IBM® FileNet® Content Engine Client on the crawler server and then run a setup script.

Before you begin

The version of the client software that you install on the crawler server must match the version of the server software that is installed on the servers that you plan to crawl.

Procedure

To set up the crawler server to support FileNet P8 and Case Manager crawlers:

  1. Install the IBM FileNet Content Engine Client on the crawler server.
  2. Log in as the default Watson Explorer Content Analytics administrator on the crawler server.
    On a Windows 2008 server, you must log in as the Windows Administrator.
  3. Run the escrfilenet script.
    When you run the script, specify the path on the crawler server where you installed the IBM FileNet Content Engine Client:
    AIX® or Linux®
    $ES_INSTALL_ROOT/bin/escrfilenet.sh
    Windows
    %ES_INSTALL_ROOT%\bin\escrfilenet.vbs
  4. Restart the Watson Explorer Content Analytics system:
    esadmin system stopall
    esadmin system startall
