This section discusses considerations related to integrating an application with FileNet Workplace and installing an integrated application:
In order to integrate a third-party client application with FileNet Workplace, user tokens must be enabled. The User Token Settings are contained in the Site Bootstrap Preferences and can be manually configured through FileNet Workplace as follows:
Information about the minimum platform requirements for integrating third-party client applications with FileNet Workplace can be found in FileNet P8 Hardware and Software Requirements. To download this document from the IBM support page, see Accessing IBM FileNet documentation.
Third-party client applications must install the Workplace Application Integration Toolkit during installation of their application. In order to support this installation requirement, the Toolkit is provided as an InstallShield merge module (.msm file) which can be built into the installer for a custom application. The FnAppIntCore.msm merge module is located in the Application Engine Source\client directory, which is provided with a custom Application Engine installation that includes the Workplace Source Code option.
The following steps provide a general overview of how to use the FnAppIntCore.msm merge module within an InstallShield project:
When the project is built, a series of COM extraction calls are displayed in
the output window indicating that the merge module is being incorporated into
the product. All of the core DLLs contained in the merge module will either
be placed in the Disk output directory of the install project, or included
in the setup package (that is, Setup.exe) if the install project is configured
to behave as a single executable.
For more information regarding how to use a merge module within an InstallShield project, see the InstallShield Help. When using a product other than InstallShield to develop the installer for a client application, refer to the Help documentation for that product for information about working with merge modules.
