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:
- From the application server, start the information center
Web application named p8docs.
- 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.
- 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/.
- Index the information center
by performing a search. Indexing can take 5-10 minutes,
and takes place automatically when the first search is performed.
