If the documents in the document classes that you define on Content Platform Engine are also cataloged on the FileNet® Image Services system, the properties that you define for the Content Platform Engine document classes must equate to index properties that you define for the corresponding document classes on FileNet Image Services.
Use the following tables for each supported relational database type to help you define the index properties for your federated system.
FileNet Image Services data type | Display Mask | Content Platform Engine data type |
---|---|---|
Numeric | ######### | Float or integer |
Numeric | ########## | Float |
Numeric | #.## | Float |
String | <any> | String. Must be the same length as the FileNet Image Services string. |
Date | <any> | Date or string |
Menu A FileNet Image Services menu must have the same number of entries and values as the corresponding Content Platform Engine choice list. |
<any> | String (as choice list). Must be the same length as the FileNet Image Services string. |
FileNet Image Services data type | Display Mask | Content Platform Engine data type |

Map the FileNet Image Services document ID number to a floating point number on the Content Platform Engine system. The FileNet Image Services document ID field can hold a value of up to 4,000,000,000. Because this maximum value is much larger than the 32-bit signed integer that the Content Platform Engine property can hold, you can map the FileNet Image Services document ID to only the Float data type.
When the system administrator maps FileNet Image Services properties with menus and Content Platform Engine properties with choice lists, all values in the FileNet Image Services menu and the Content Platform Engine choice list must be identical. Administration Console for Content Platform Engine does not verify that all values are available and correct in both lists.
For example, if you select a value from a Content Platform Engine choice list that is not equal to any of the values in the FileNet Image Services menu, the replication fails.
When you add new menu or choice list values, you must add them to both the FileNet Image Services and the Content Platform Engine properties.
You cannot use multi-valued Content Platform Engine properties with Content Federation Services for Image Services.
