Importing custom classes definitions and properties into IBM FileNet Content Manager

To use IBM® Cognos® content archival, you must import a set of custom classes and properties files into IBM FileNet® Content Manager.

Custom classes definitions and properties include FileNet specific metadata. You can install custom classes and properties files at any time.

Procedure

  1. If you have FileNet archiving set up, go to c10_location/configuration/repository/filenet/upgrade/directory.
  2. If FileNet archiving is not already set up, go to c10_location/configuration/repository/filenet/new/ directory.
  3. Copy the CMECMIntegrationObjects_CEExport._xxx.xml files to a local folder on the FileNet server.
  4. Open the FileNet Enterprise Manager Administration tool and connect to the domain for the FileNet external repository.
  5. Select a target Object Store, and click Import All Items to import the definitions into the object store.
  6. In the Import Options pane, click Import Manifest File and browse to where the CMECMIntegrationObjects_CEExport._xxx.xml files are located.
  7. Select the CMECMIntegrationObjects_CEExport_Manifest.xml file and click Import.
  8. Restart the FileNet Content Engine and FileNet CMIS application to apply the changes to your environment.
    Note: It might take a long time for changes to be updated across all FileNet nodes.
