Upgrading IBM FileNet P8 documentation

Start of changeAs of software version 5.0.0, IBM® FileNet® P8 Platform documentation is distributed only as part of a larger IBM FileNet P8 information center. From the various user and administrative applications, you can either link to the online version of the information center on www.ibm.com or link to a local copy of the information center that you install and deploy.End of change

Start of changeThe advantages of linking to the ibm.com information center are:
  • You do not have to maintain a documentation server and information center.
  • You do not have to install any documentation in your environment, except for what is automatically installed within some of the IBM FileNet P8 software components.
  • The documentation is always up to date.
End of change

Start of changeIf you want to use the online information center, during the upgrade of your IBM FileNet P8 Platform components, provide the following link for your FileNet P8 documentation URL: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/p8docs/v5r0m0/topic/com.ibm.p8.docEnd of change

To change the documentation URL for your FileNet P8 components, see the following help topics:
  • Administering IBM FileNet P8 > Administering Content Engine > FileNet P8 domain > How to... > Configure the FileNet P8 Platform documentation location
  • Administering IBM FileNet P8 > Administering Process Engine > Workflow administration tasks > Configure optional features > Reconfigure the FileNet documentation server URL

Start of changeIf you want to access the documentation locally in your FileNet P8 environment, you must install and deploy the information center WAR file as a web application on a supported application server. Then you designate that web application location as the documentation URL when you install and configure each IBM FileNet P8 software component.End of change
