IBM Enterprise Records, Version 5.1.+              

Configuring the object stores for content-based retrieval (CBR)

The search template supports content-based retrieval (CBR), which enables users to search an object store for records that contain specific words or phrases that are embedded in the content of objects that have been configured for full-text indexing. You must configure the ROS and FPOS for CBR to ensure that users can perform content-based searches using the search template.

This procedure depends on whether the object stores use a database storage area or a file storage area for their content storage area.

To set up your FPOS and ROS object stores for CBR:

  1. Configure your IBM® Enterprise Records object store for CBR.

    Complete the steps from the Configuring Content Engine for Content-Based Retrieval task (FileNet P8 Platform 5.0) from the link at the end of this topic or configure Content Engine for content-based retrieval (FileNet P8 Platform 4.5) subtopic of the IBM FileNet P8 Platform Installation and Upgrade Guide task Configure Content Engine for Content-Based Retrieval.

    1. Launch IBM FileNet Enterprise Manager and log in as the GCD Administrator.
    2. (Optional) Enter a CBR Locale.

      Depending on your language setup, select the uni locale or a language-specific locale.

    3. (Optional) Create an index area. Index areas might already exist on the platform for object stores not used by IBM Enterprise Records. Depending on your environment you might want to create separate indexes or use exiting indexes with IBM Enterprise Records object stores.
      Tip: The following two steps let you configure the classes and class properties you want to make searchable in addition to the document content of the records. The following classes and properties represent a minimum set to allow CBR on document titles and selected metadata properties on your records.
    4. Enable CBR for class definitions by activating the CBR Enable flag of the class you want to make available for CBR:
      • ROS - Document Class
      • FPOS - Record Class, Document Class
    5. Enable CBR by selecting the following class properties you want to make available for CBR:
      • ROS - Document title
      • FPOS - Document title and any other properties you want to be able to search for metadata
  2. Index your IBM Enterprise Records object store.
    After configuring CBR for IBM Enterprise Records, you must index it before it can be used. For information:
