About this task
The NCH service is a FileNet Image Services component that tracks the
network resources and IP addresses, including the IP address of the Root or Index server.
There are two ways that
Content Platform Engine can determine the address
of the
FileNet Image Services system:
- Name resolution through the local hosts file
- This method is straightforward because it does not require privileges on a domain name system.
However, the system administrator must ensure that the hosts files on all
Content Platform Engine servers are updated.
- Name resolution through a Name Resolution Service
- This method is easier because the domain name and the IP address of the FileNet Image Services system must be updated in only one place. However, it requires
privileges on a centralized name resolution service system.
