FileNet P8 Content Engine, Version 5.0.+              

Verifying the Content Engine system

You can verify the Content Engine system by using IBM® FileNet® Enterprise Manager to create a folder and a document in each object store and then check the new document out and in. You also need to retrieve and view the contents of an existing document.

To verify the Content Engine system:

  1. In Enterprise Manager, create a subfolder as follows:
    1. Expand the Object Stores container and expand the node for the object store.
    2. Right-click the Root Folder icon, and select New Sub Folder.
    3. Enter a folder name and click Create.
    4. Choose Action > Refresh to view the subfolder you created.
  2. Create a document:
    1. Expand the Root Folder container.
    2. Right-click the folder name that you just created, and select New Document.
    3. Enter the Document Title (for example, Coffee Bean.bmp), click With content, and click Next.
    4. Click Browse/Add to select a file (for example, C:\WINDOWS\Coffee Bean.bmp), click Open, and then click Create. Notice that a new document with a containment name matching the document title you used and a major version of 1 is now in your folder.
  3. Check out a document as follows:
    1. Right-click the document object that you just created (Coffee Bean.bmp), and select Exclusive Check Out (Default).
    2. Navigate to the folder where you want the checked-out document to reside and click Open. Note the version number of the document.
    3. Click Yes to edit the file.
    4. Make some change to the file and save it.
    5. Close the application you used to edit the file.
  4. Check in the document:
    1. Right-click the document object that you just edited (Coffee Bean.bmp), and select Check In.
    2. In the File Name field, click Browse/Add.
    3. Select the file that you checked out (Coffee Bean.bmp), and click Open.
    4. Click Check In.
    5. Right-click the document object that you just checked in, select Properties, and click the Versions tab of the Properties dialog box. Notice that the value of the Major Version field has been incremented.
  5. Retrieve a document and its content:
    1. a. Navigate to the document that you just edited and right-click.
    2. Select View Document.
    3. Verify that the content displays correctly.
    4. Close the application that you used to view the document.
  6. High availability In high availability environments, verify failover for all nodes in your configuration.
    1. Browse to the Content Engine Startup Context page:
      http://ce_server:port/FileNet/Engine
    2. Fail one of the Content Engine nodes.
    3. Verify that you can reload the Startup Context page, and that you can access your object stores by using Enterprise Manager.
    4. Restart all nodes that you failed during this test.
