FileNet P8 Platform, Version 5.0.+              

Starting and verifying the IBM FileNet P8 information center

After you install and deploy the IBM® FileNet® P8 information center on the application server, verify that you can access its URL address and run its search feature. These tests ensure that the installed information center can be used as a help system in the various IBM FileNet P8 component applications.

To verify the information center installation and deployment:
  1. From the application server, start the information center web application p8docs.
  2. From a web browser, access the documentation URL by using the application server name and port number for your web environment, for example:
    Option Description
    IBM WebSphere® Application Server http://yourdocserver:9080/p8docs/index.jsp
    Oracle WebLogic Server http://yourdocserver:7001/p8docs/index.jsp
    JBoss Application Server http://yourdocserver:8080/p8docs/index.jsp
    Because of the size of the documentation package, the frames within the information center take a few minutes to load the first time.
  3. Make note of the base URL for your application server. You must enter the base URL as the documentation URL for the IBM FileNet P8 components while running installation programs or setting site preferences later, for example, in Workplace or Workplace XT. The base URL is the path up to and including the com.ibm.p8.doc plug-in, for example, http://yourdocserver:port/p8docs/topic/com.ibm.p8.doc/.
  4. Index the information center by performing a search. Indexing can take 5-10 minutes, and takes place automatically when the first search is performed.
