To use the IBM® Content
Navigator interface,
you must load and register the plug-in JAR file.
About this task
Load the IBM Enterprise
Records administration
client plug-in JAR file into IBM Content
Navigator by
using the administration configuration in IBM Content
Navigator. IBM Content
Navigator loads plug-in JAR files
by using a URL-addressable path. The JAR file must be deployed in
an application server and referenced by IBM Content
Navigator.
For full details
on how to register and load a plug-in, see the Registering and configuring
plug-ins topic in the IBM Content
Navigator documentation.
The following procedure shows the general steps.
Procedure
To register the IBM Enterprise
Records administration
client plug-in:
- Access the administration client in IBM Content
Navigator by using the following
URL: http://navigator_url/navigator?desktop=admin.
- Go to the Plug-ins configuration and
create a new plug-in.
- Enter the URL where the IBM Enterprise
Records plug-in is located into
the File field and click Load. You can get the URL path by using one of two methods.
- You can deploy an available and usable EAR or WAR file to gain
access to the JAR file. This EAR or WAR file is available when you
install the IBM Enterprise
Records administration
client plug-in. The following path is the default location: ier_install_path/Enterprise
Records/Plugins/EnterpriseRecordsPlugin. When you deploy
this EAR or WAR file in any application server, the following path
is the default URL-addressable location: http(s)://server_name/EnterpriseRecordsPlugin/IERApplicationPlugin.jar.
- You can use the plug-in JAR file. The plug-in JAR file is in the
following location: ier_install_path/EnterpriseRecords/Plugins/EnterpriseRecordsPlugins/IERApplicationPlugin.jar.
You can host the plug-in file in file-hosting servers. The path to
the JAR file is needed by IBM Content
Navigator to
load the plug-in.
