You create an initial object store in Content Engine to store your documents
and other objects. After an object store is created, you can refine
its definition and add content to it.
Be sure that you have available
the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your
planning activities.
If
you have not already done so, you must complete the following preparation
tasks before you create the initial object store.
You can use the Create Object Store wizard in IBM® FileNet Enterprise Manager to create the object
store.
Tip: You can also use the Web-based IBM Administrative
Console for Content Engine to create the object
store. To do so, access http://ce_server_name:port/acce.login.jsp.
from a Web browser client, log on as the gcd_admin user,
and review the embedded assistance as needed. ce_server_name is
the name of the system where Content Engine is
deployed. port is the WSI port that is used by
the application server on which Content Engine is
deployed
Important: The Create Object Store wizard
fails to complete if you try to assign a new object store to a tablespace
that already contains tables for an object store.
To create an object store using the Create Object Store
wizard:
- Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet
file.
Tip: In the worksheet file, verify
that the command is enabled.
To view only Enterprise Manager values
for this task, filter by EM: Create Object Store in
the Installation or Configuration Program column.
- Start Enterprise Manager by
double-clicking the Enterprise Manager desktop
icon, or by choosing .
- In the FileNet P8 Logon
screen, select the FileNet P8 domain
in which you will create an object store, and then click Connect.
- In the tree view, right-click the Object Stores container
and choose New Object Store to start the Create
an Object Store wizard.
Important: The maximum row size of the underlying DB2 database
tables is 32 KB. Therefore, choose a minimal set of addons before
creating an object store. After the object store exists, be aware
that each user property reduces the row size from what already is
reserved by the current system and addon properties. You should initially
allocate string properties to be as small as possible; you can increase
the sizes later in FileNet Enterprise Manager. A string property with
a large allocation size is more space efficient if you create it as
a long string data type; however, long strings have some functionality
limitations.
- Complete the wizard screens by using the values in your
worksheet.
- Check for errors
in the p8_server_error.log file on the application
server.
