Overview of Content Federation Services for Content Manager OnDemand

Content Federation Services for Content Manager OnDemand enables FileNet® P8 applications and servers to communicate and work with Content Manager OnDemand.

In a federated configuration, object content is stored in the IBM® Content Manager OnDemand system and can be retrieved by using Content Platform Engine or Content Manager OnDemand. Metadata is stored in both the IBM Content Manager OnDemand system and the Content Platform Engine system.

Important:  Updating the properties in Content Platform Engine does not update the corresponding Content Manager OnDemand properties, and causes the Content Manager OnDemand and Content Platform Engine properties to be out of synchronization.

Communication between Content Federation Services for Content Manager OnDemand and Content Manager OnDemand server is accomplished through the Content Manager OnDemand Web Enablement Kit Application Programming Interfaces (ODWEK API). ODWEK configuration parameters are specified when you define a fixed content device.

After you create the fixed content device and storage area, you must create mappings between Content Platform Engine document classes and Content Manager OnDemand application groups that are enabled for federation, and map Content Platform Engine document class properties to Content Manager OnDemand application group fields.

For each Content Manager OnDemand document, its metadata and a document reference identifier are exported as XML by the content federation exporter. The XML is then imported as a document object into the Content Platform Engine object store. The content federation import process periodically polls database tables for new items to import.
