To prepare the environment for the IBM®
FileNet® CFS for Content Integrator
installation, the database administrator must complete the required database tasks.
Database server
IBM
FileNet CFS for Content Integrator requires a
database that is the same type and version as the database that is used by Content Platform Engine. You need the same number of new Federator databases or table
spaces as the number of external repository servers whose documents you plan to federate.
Collocation
The databases for IBM
FileNet CFS for Content Integrator
and Content Platform Engine object stores can be on the same or different
database servers. Base your collocation decision on performance and other criteria.
Java™ Database Connectivity (JDBC) drivers
Obtain from your database vendor
the JDBC drivers for your Federator database and put them in a location that is available to the
IBM
FileNet CFS for Content Integrator installation program. The installation program copies
the files to a path where the Federator database can access them. See the
IBM
FileNet P8 system requirements to determine the required levels of the
JDBC drivers.
