Installation and Deployment

Refer the Readme for deployment steps of fix pack.

For deployment of ISRA.rar / ISRAConsole.ear / FNImageViewer.ear on specific Application Servers refer the documentation on IBM - Product Documentation for FileNet Image Services Resource Adapter for detailed steps.

Known Software Problems and Restriction

The known issues are listed here from previous fix packs:

1. "All information (Doc Class information, Users/Groups information, Menu Values, Indices List, Printer Attributes etc.), which is stored in cache will be visible only if cache is refreshed (after cache refresh interval) or when application server is restarted". E.g.:

a. Suppose a new user is added to IS. Existing users will not be able to see the listing of new user in annotation security or setting document security, if cache has not been refreshed or application server has not been restarted.

b. If we update a document class in IS then user will not see the document class in the doc class listing in AddDoc interaction until the cache has been refreshed or application server has been restarted.

c. If a user is deleted from IS and recreated, the ObjectID of the user will change, however ISRA will continue to hold the invalid ObjectID until the ISRA cache is automatically updated at the CacheRefreshInterval period. In this scenario, interactions involving Security objects might fail until cached meta-data is refreshed. ISRA cache can also be rebuilt by restarting the application server.

Workspace and Queue names should start with an alphabet (A-Z, a-z). It is always advisable to use an alphabetic as the first character and then enter any double-byte characters, to create workspaces and queues.

Example, Steps:

Go to ISRA Sample Application > Queue Maintenance.

Create a new Workspace with double-byte characters.

This will fail with error no 2533359663. fn_msg 2533359663. <WQS,0,47> Workspace names must begin with a letter (upper or lower case).

Changing Password in a clustered environment

If ISRA is running in a clustered environment, it is necessary to restart the cluster if any updates to the user’s password are made.

FileNet ImageViewer related issues: Annotations Support

ISRA supports only those annotations that are supported by FileNet Image Services. Read the FileNet Image Services documentation for a list of annotations supported by the Image Services.  

General Notes

Supportability on Development Platforms

IBM FileNet has not qualified ISRA and the ISRA Sample Application to run under development platforms such as WSAD, BEA Workshop, or any other development platforms. This is primarily because IBM FileNet Engineering may not be able to keep up with the dependencies on specific development platform configuration.

However, ISRA and ISRA Sample should be able to run under any development platform that provides managed environment and runtime support for JCA 1.0. Since, IBM FileNet has not qualified these development platforms with ISRA and ISRA Sample, it is customer's responsibility to determine the proper setup and/or configuration that enable ISRA and Sample Application to work under the specific development platform. If there are any problems during configuration, deployment, development or runtime relating to ISRA under these development platforms, it is the customer's responsibility to verify if the same problem also occurs under the qualified Application Server environment.

Globalization

ISRA supports all character sets supported by Image Services, which are single byte character sets, as well as some multi-byte character sets. Unicode character sets, such as AL16UTF16, AL32UTF8, or UTF8 are not supported at this time. For a detailed overview of the supported character sets, refer to the Image Services System Administrators manual.

ISRA Support

ISRA is currently supported for production deployment only in the Managed Environment. If you experience any difficulties with the product media or ISRA, contact your IBM FileNet Customer Support personnel for assistance.

If you experience any difficulties with the product media or ISRA, contact your IBM FileNet Customer Support personnel for assistance.

Note: The Java certification for ISRA would be valid up to certain date for various releases. See the details:
