If your IBM® FileNet® Image Services server is in a separate physical location from the Content Platform Engine server, you can improve the performance of document retrievals by creating an IBM FileNet Image Services cache on a server in the same site as the Content Platform Engine server or on the Content Platform Engine server itself.
To create a IBM FileNet Image Services cache on the Content Platform Engine server, install the Content Platform Engine software. Then, on the same server, install FileNet Image Services software. Configure IBM FileNet Image Services as an application server with cache services to the remote FileNet Image Services system.
For more information, see Configuring remote caching.
