Configuring Content Engine for content-based retrieval

You must use Enterprise Manager to configure an index area and enable the content-based retrieval (CBR) feature provided by IBM® Legacy Content Search Engine.

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

Take the following issues into account before you configure Content Engine.

For more detail on content-based retrieval and Content Engine, see the IBM FileNet® P8 help topic Administering IBM FileNet P8 > Administering Content Engine > Content-based retrieval > How to... > Configure CBR.

To configure Content Engine for content-based retrieval:

  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 Enterprise Manager values for this task, filter by EM: Verity Domain Configuration Tab in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. Start Enterprise Manager and log on as the GCD Administrator.
  3. Create a Verity Domain Configuration (VDC).
    1. Right-click Enterprise Manager [domain] in the Enterprise Manager tree and select Properties.
    2. Click the Verity Domain Configurations tab.
    3. Enter the following K2 Master Administration Server access information:
      • Host Name - the name of the host of the K2 Master Administration Server.
        High availability clustered server environments Important: For highly available clustered server environments, this is the cluster host name rather than the host name of an individual node.
      • Port - the K2 Master Administration Server port. The default port number is 9950.
      • User Domain - the authentication domain in which your K2 services are installed.
      • User Group - K2 Security Group.
      • Verity Username - K2 Security User.
      • Password - the K2 Security User password.
    4. Click Create Configuration to create a Verity Domain Configuration object.
  4. To assign a CBR locale to the object store for which you want to enable indexing, complete the following substeps:
    1. Right-click the object store in the left pane of Enterprise Manager and choose Properties from the context menu.
    2. In the Properties dialog box, click the CBR Verity tab.
    3. Select the Verity domain configuration that you want to configure from the Verity Domain Configuration drop down box.
    4. Specify one of the following locales (which are installed by default with IBM Legacy Content Search Engine software) in the CBR Locale box:
      • uni (multi-language and slower indexing)
      • englishv (enhanced word-stemming and faster indexing)
      • english (limited capabilities and fast indexing)
      If you click Set to Default CBR Locale, the CBR locale is set to uni.
    5. Click Apply or OK.
  5. To access the Verity Locale Configuration Guide, complete the following substeps.
    Important: For information about how the K2 product uses locales and about performance and indexing options, review the Verity Locale Configuration Guide in the Autonomy-supplied documentation set.
    1. Open the Autonomy K2 Dashboard and click Help.
    2. Click Library (top right of the screen) to access the Autonomy K2 product guides. Each guide is available in HTML or PDF format.
  6. Create an index area.
    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 Enterprise Manager values for this task, filter by EM: Create an Index Area in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
    2. In the Enterprise Manager tree view, expand the Object Stores container.
    3. Right-click the object store to which you want to add an index area and select New > Index Area.
    4. Complete the Create an Index Area wizard by using the values from your worksheet.

      For more information about creating indexes, see the IBM FileNet P8 help topic Administering IBM FileNet P8 > Administering Content Engine > Content-based retrieval > How to... > Create Verity index area.

  7. Enable CBR for one or more document class definitions:
    1. Right-click the class you want to configure, such as a document class that your site has created, in the Enterprise Manager tree and click Properties.
    2. Select the CBR Enabled check box and click OK.
  8. Enable CBR for one or more string properties of the document classes or custom object classes that you want to use for content-based retrieval:
    1. Right-click the class and click Properties.
    2. Click the Property Definitions tab.
    3. Click the string property you want to enable for CBR indexing and click Edit.
    4. Check CBR Enabled and click OK.
    5. Click OK.
  9. Repeat 4 through 8 for each additional object store to which you want to assign a CBR locale.
