FileNet P8 Content Federation Services, Version 5.2.1              

Database administrator tasks

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.
