IBM® FileNet® Content Federation Services for Content Integrator federates documents from multiple repositories, including IBM Content Manager, IBM FileNet Content Services, Documentum Content Server, and Open Text Livelink Enterprise Server.
The following diagram illustrates the IBM
FileNet Content Federation Services for Content
Integrator architecture.
The primary components in an IBM FileNet Content Federation Services for Content Integrator system are the exporter, the importer, the federator database, and the Federation Administration application.
An administrator can use the Federator Administration application to create rules that specify the criteria by which documents from the external repository are selected for federation. The exporter finds the documents that match the criteria and queues an import request for each document in the federator database. You can run multiple Exporter processes to improve performance. The importer creates or updates federated documents for each import request.
