FileNet P8 Content Search Engine, Version 5.0.+              

Removing IBM Legacy Content Search Engine

To completely remove IBM® Legacy Content Search Engine (Autonomy K2) and collections from your IBM FileNet® P8 Platform installation, you must disable full-text indexing. You must also remove the Autonomy K2 installations from all servers associated with Content Engine.

Important:
  • If you remove or disable Autonomy K2 before you disable CBR and full-text indexing in Enterprise Manager, your system is rendered unusable and require considerable reconstruction.
  • This procedure presumes you have a running installation of version 5.0.0 of IBM Legacy Content Search Engine and that you have existing collections.
  • If you intend to remove Content Engine, skip to 4.

To remove IBM Legacy Content Search Engine:

  1. Launch Enterprise Manager.
  2. Disable CBR for any classes that have been enabled for CBR.
    1. Right-click the class you want to configure and click Properties.
    2. Click the General tab.
    3. Clear the CBR Enabled check box and click OK.
    4. A dialog asks if you want to propagate this change to the subclasses of this class. Click Yes.
    5. Repeat this procedure to disable CBR for all classes.
  3. Run an index job and reindex any of these objects that were previously enabled:
    • Document
    • Annotation
    • Custom Object
    • Folder

    The index job disables all full-text indexing and content-based retrieval settings and deletes any associated collections. After the index job is complete, continue with the next step.

  4. As k2_os_user, log on to the Master Administration Server machine in your IBM Legacy Content Search Engine configuration.
  5. Complete the steps in the table to remove the Autonomy K2 software on the machine.
