An object store is a repository for storing, managing,
and accessing metadata and objects (such as documents, folders, and
class descriptions).
ObjectStore Object
System administrators typically use the IBM® Administration Console for Content
Platform Engine to create object stores and
to expand them with addons. However, you can develop a custom application
to perform these same operations.
Security
At object store creation time, users and groups that are
designated as administrators or non-administrators receive default
access rights to the object store and to the objects that are contained
within it.
Working with Object Stores
Retrieving object stores is fundamental to all FileNet® P8 client
applications, but many of the operations that are exposed in the Content Engine APIs are
intended for object store administration only, such as creating new
object stores, setting object store security, and installing feature addons.
The following code examples illustrate some of these operations.
