FileNet P8 Content Engine, Version 5.0.+              

Creating additional object store data sources by using the graphical user interface

You must create the JDBC data sources for each object store that Content Engine uses. Content Engine uses the data source information to connect to and update the object store database. By default, each profile includes a task for creating the data sources for a single object store, and you can add additional tasks as needed for each additional object store.

Be sure that you have available the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your planning activities.

The default configuration profile contains one task for configuring a single object store. You must create and run a new task for each additional object store in that Content Engine uses.

To configure the JDBC settings for additional object stores:

  1. Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
    Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the Data > Filter > AutoFilter command is enabled. To view only Content Engine values, filter by CM: Configure JDBC data sources (object store 2) in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. Start or stop the application server, depending on its type.
    Table 1. Required application server state
    Option Description
    WebSphere® Application Server Start the application server if it is not already running.
    JBoss Application Server Stop the application server.
    Oracle WebLogic Server Start the application server if it is not already running.
  3. If your configuration profile is not open in Configuration Manager, open it by select File > Open and navigating to your profilename.cfgp file.
  4. Create a task for the additional object store.
    1. Right-click any task name in the profile pane, such as Configure Object Store JDBC Data Sources, and select Add New Task > Configure JDBC Data Sources. The New_Configure JDBC Data Sources task is added to the profile.
    2. Right-click New_Configure JDBC Data Sources, and select Rename Task.
    3. Enter a useful name for the task, such as Configure Object Store 2 JDBC Data Sources.
    4. Click OK.
  5. Right-click the Configure Object Store 2 JDBC Data Sources task in the profile pane, and select Edit Selected Task.
  6. Provide the property values for the JDBC data sources for the object store by using the values in your worksheet for your additional object store.
  7. Select File > Save to save your changes.
  8. Optional: WebSphere and WebLogic only. Click Test Database Connection to test the connection to the database by using the database user name, database server name, database name, port number, and password that you provided. The test does not create the data sources.
  9. Ensure that the task is enabled. When the task is disabled, the task name includes the text (disabled). To enable the task, right-click Configure Object Store 2 JDBC Data Sources (disabled) in the profile pane, and choose Enable Selected Task from the context menu.
  10. Apply the JDBC property settings by right-clicking Configure Object Store 2 JDBC Data Sources in the profile pane, and selecting Run Task. Running the configuration task can take a few minutes. The task execution status messages are displayed in the Console pane below the bootstrap properties.
  11. (JBoss only) Start the application server.
  12. Optional: Repeat this procedure as needed to add the data sources for each object store in your environment.
