To set up Content Federation Services for Content Manager OnDemand, you must first configure the
Content Manager OnDemand system to work with the content federation system. You
then configure communication between Content Platform Engine and Content Manager OnDemand, map the Content Platform Engine properties
to the Content Manager OnDemand application group fields, and configure the content
federation exporter to federate documents to Content Platform Engine.
Before you begin
Ensure that the CFS-IS Extensions add-on is installed in the object store in which you plan
to store the federated documents.
Procedure
To set up Content Federation Services for Content Manager OnDemand:
- Configure the Content Manager OnDemand system:
- Enable the Content Federation Services for Content Manager OnDemand
feature.
- Enable application groups for content federation.
- If you use Content Manager OnDemand with an Oracle database, use a tool such
as SQLPlus to create an additional Oracle user, who is known as the proxy user, Run the following command on the Oracle server: ALTER USER cmod_user GRANT CONNECT
THROUGH proxy_user;.
- Configure Content Platform Engine.
- Install the Content Manager OnDemand Web Enablement Kit.
- Create JDBC data sources in
the Content Platform Engine application server to connect to the
federator database. Use the Configure Object Store JDBC Data Sources task in Configuration Manager to create the
data sources. The federator database can be created on either the Content Platform Engine server or the Content Manager OnDemand
server.
Tip: If you use Content Manager OnDemand with an Oracle
database, enter the Oracle user name as
proxy_user[cmod_user]/password.
- Create a Content Manager OnDemand fixed storage device. In the domain navigation pane of the Content Platform Engine
administration console, click and click New.
Tip: Ensure that the specified user
has access privileges to the Content Manager OnDemand application groups that are
enabled for federation. Also, ensure that the user has a minimum timeout period of 30 minutes to
prevent a timeout during a content retrieval operation. The timeout period for a Content Manager OnDemand user is defined in the Content Manager OnDemand
Administrator utility.
- Create a Content Manager OnDemand fixed storage area. In the navigation pane of the object store in which you plan to store the federated documents,
click and click New. Select Fixed for the
storage area type and complete the wizard.
- Create custom document classes and properties to correspond to the
Content Manager OnDemand application groups and fields that are enabled for content
federation.
- Map the Content Platform Engine properties to
the Content Manager OnDemand application group fields.
- Configure the content federation exporter to federate documents to
Content Platform Engine.
Important: To support defensible disposition for Content Federation Services for Content Manager OnDemand documents, the documents must be locked down before export
begins. Locking down the documents ensures that the documents are retained in the Content Manager OnDemand repository. Document operations such as deletions are initiated by
Content Platform Engine.
- Optional: To support viewing of federated AFP and Line Data documents by using Workplace XT, configure
the Content Manager OnDemand viewer in Workplace XT.
Restriction: Content Manager OnDemand content can be viewed in Workplace XT but cannot be downloaded.
