The FileNet® System Manager provides a centralized mechanism for collecting and distributing performance data on FileNet products installed at a site, independent of the operating system. The gathered performance data may be made available to the out-of-the-box System Manager functions for use at sites which have not standardized on a management console. For a description of FileNet System Manager functionality, see the FileNet System Manager overview.
This section of the FileNet P8 documentation provides resources for developers who wish to create and configure the Listener component of the System Manager.
The System Manager Listener C++ API provides an easy mechanism for integrating existing and future FileNet applications with the System Manager. By design, the API has relatively few entry points and thus minimizes the amount of time and resources required by an application to integrate with the System Manager. Using the interfaces in this API, the application can create and configure the Listener, listen for events, gather performance data regarding the events and related event attributes, accumulate the data for analysis, and communicate with connected Managers. The FileNet System Manager Listener C++ API Developer's Guide is located in the FileNet P8 Documentation installation directory: FileNet P8 Administration > Developer Help > FileNet System Manager Development > Listener C++ API Developer's Guide.
The System Manager Listener Java™ API is nearly identical to the System Manager Listener C++ API, and enables FileNet applications to integrate with the System Manager using the Java language. In addition, the Listener Java API also provides support for adding counters to the set of those being monitored by the Listener, which may also include those associated with Microsoft® Windows® Performance Monitor (Perfmon). The FileNet System Manager Listener Java API Developer's Guide is located in the FileNet P8 Documentation installation directory: FileNet P8 Administration > Developer Help > FileNet System Manager Development > Listener Java API Developer's Guide.
