Document lifecycle in FileNet P8 could be a sequence of states (like Draft, Review, Publish, shut
etc) that a document can go through over its period, further because the action that area unit
triggered once document moves from one state to a different. A user or application will move
the doc forward or backward in its lifecycle.

3. Will Filenet element Ce, Pe, Ae Support Server bunch? What quite Clustering Is Supported By
Filenet P8?

Ans:

 FileNet P8 platform supports uneven, Symmetric, N + 1, and N to M clusters. This


includes FileNet Content Engine, method Engine and Application Engine.

 Asymmetric clusters embrace each active and passive server. i.e. just in case of an
uneven 1-to-1 cluster, there’s one active and another passive server. This is often the
simplest kind of bunch.

 Symmetric clusters embrace all the active servers. In interchangeable clusters totally
{different|completely different} servers run different services however just in case of
failover, multiple services area units are affected on to at least one server.

4. That Protocol is employed By Filenet P8 method Engine (pe) to attach To Content Engine (ce)
Or Application Engine (ae)?

Ans:

 IIOP is employed by letter to speak with Ce and AE.

 IIOP means that ‘Internet Inter-ORB Protocol’.

 ORB means that ‘Object Request Broker’.


 As Ce is put in on AE, it uses direct API calls to speak with AE.

5. In what number of Databases will Filenet Content Engine (ce) Store Data?

Ans:

FileNet Content Engine (CE) has 2 or additional databases:

 Global Configuration info (GCD) info (FNGCDDB).

 Object Store databases (one or more).

 A FileNet P8 domain will contain one or several object stores. every object store has its
own info that may well be existing info or is created by object store creation wizard in
FEM.

6. Wherever Filenet Content Engine (ce) Physically Stores Documents?

Ans:

FileNet Content Engine is organized to store documents at following places:

 In info as blobs (IBM counseled most document size to store as blob is ten KB).

 In File Store.

 In read-only storage Devices (like EMC Centera).

7. What’s Fn P8 Domain?

Ans:

The FileNet P8 domain represents a logical grouping of physical resources (such as object stores)
further because the Content Engine servers that give access to those resources. A server will
access any resource within the domain, however cannot access any resource that lies outside of
the domain. The Ce international Configuration knowledge (GCD) info stores info concerning the
resources and services for the FileNet P8 Domain.

8. What’s File Store And File Store Policy?

Ans:

File Store is the physical folder wherever FileNet stores documents. Multiple File Stores are
created to store documents at 2 totally different places. This kind of setup is termed File Store
Farm. File Store Policy permits distribution of documents in File Store Farm.

9. What’s the employment Of Content Engine Question Builder?

Ans:
CE question Builder permits FileNet users to seek out Content Engine objects and to hold out
bulk operations on them. Question Builder is a component of FileNet Enterprise Manager (FEM)
software system that comes with FileNet Content Engine installable.

The basic practicality of question Builder includes:

 Find objects’ mistreatment property values as search criteria.

 Create, save and run straightforward searches.

 Create and save search templates which will prompt for criteria once launched.

 Launch search templates that area unit given every Content Engine and Enterprise

 Manager installation.

 Create, save, and run SQL queries.

 The question Builder searches is combined with bulk operations that embrace the
subsequent actions, obtainable on the question.

Builder’s Actions tab:

 Delete objects.

 Add objects to the export manifest.

 Undo documents checkout.

 Run VBScripts or JScripts.

isn’t running, the user can get the message ‘Unable to logon to P8 domain’.

 Try login to FileNet geographical point. If the user is in a position to check in, the cerium
& directory services are running fine. If not, the user can get a ‘credential exception’.

12. Will Filenet Cerium offer Content Compression Or Encryption?

Ans:

No. The FileNet P8 five.1 unharness supports this coding feature that helps to guard the content
from unauthorized access.

13. However Authentication Is handled In Filenet P8?

Ans:

Authentication may be a method of checking if the user entered credentials are correct. FileNet
P8 uses 2 completely different standards for authentication:

Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) commonplace JAAS provides a policy-
based framework to work out a United Nations agency invoking a Java application. The Content
Engine EJB resides at intervals the J2EE Application Server’s EJB instrumentality. cerium uses
JAAS pluggable framework for authentication.

Web Services Security (WS-Security) commonplace FileNet net services uses WS-Security
standards for authentication. Like JAAS, WSSecurity is Associate in Nursing protrusile
commonplace that supports multiple security token formats i.e.

When the Content Engine server receives an online service request, the Content Engine net
Service attender extracts the WS-Security header and performs a JAAS login supporting its
contents. If this JAAS login is roaring, then the online service attender passes the request onto
the Content Engine EJB layer at intervals the EJB instrumentality.

design for connecting parts. IBM FileNet Content Manager provides ceriumWS for
accessing nearly all options obtainable within the CE server.

 A Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file is provided by FileNet to use an online
services interface. CEWS purchasers (stub classes) will be generated from these WSDL
files.

15. Why Use Custom Objects Once We Have a Content-less Document?

Ans:

Custom objects area unit for making composite objects. It will contain content-less documents,
i.e. solely information in addition to different document categories and/or custom objects as its
properties.

16. What’s element Queue and the way To assemble element Queue In Filenet?

Ans:

Component queues build it attainable to method a workflow step victimization Associate in


Nursing external entity, like a JavaTM object or Java Message Service (JMS). victimization
method Configuration Console, you assemble an element queue with Associate in Nursing
device, either Java or JMS. The Java device permits you to reveal public strategies from a Java
category as operations on a queue. The JMS device permits you to publish workflow knowledge
to a JMS queue, additionally victimization operations. victimization method Designer, the
workflow author adds an element step to a map and selects operations for that step from the
list of element queues. The work flow author additionally specifies the suitable expression for
every operation parameter.

17. What area unit holds on Search And Search Template?

Ans:

Workplace offers object search to assist users quickly find the things they’re trying to find.
Multiple choices area units obtainable to geographical point users for looking out objects held
on in FileNet Content Engine together with easy search, hold on search, search templates etc.

By default the straightforward search is obtainable to users. victimization easy search users will
produce made-to-order searches for documents, folders, and custom objects. The search
criteria and choices will be organized victimization the Search read of the User Preferences page
of geographical point.
Both hold on searches and search templates area unit predefined searches organized by
directors victimization Search Designer tool.

18. What area unit Root categories In Filenet?

Ans:

A root category may be a category while not a parent. FileNet object store has multiple root
categories together with Document category, Annotation, selection List, Event etc. The ‘Parent
Class’ property of those root categories is ‘None’ (as shown in below screenshot).

The root categories area unit is created mechanically throughout object store creation. Once
the foundation category is formed, subclasses and properties will be additional to the thing
store.

For example, a document taxonomic category will be additional below root category (Document
Class) by running the produce a category wizard from Enterprise Manager.

Except the ‘Document Class’, all different root categories area unit places below ‘Other Classes’
in Enterprise Manager as shown in below screenshot.

19. What’s The Distinction Between File Store And Object Store?

Ans:

 An OBJECT STORE may be an info repository for storing objects.

 But FILE STORE deals with at that it hold on format sort.

 File systems that are units used for file stores should use the NFS or CIFS protocol.

Ans:

FileNet method Engine (PE) stores knowledge into 1 info named VWDB.

21. Make a case for FileNet Application Engine Architecture?

Ans:
22. What’s AN Isolated Region?

Ans:

An isolated region could be a logical subdivision of the progress info that contains the queues
for the work things, event logs, rosters, and alternative configuration data.

Below area unit few facts concerning isolated region:

 FileNet method Engine have Isolated Regions.

 ‘Process Configuration Console (PCC)’ is employed to form and manage Isolated Regions.

 One alphabetic character will have multiple Isolated Regions.

 Multiple Isolated Regions cannot connect with the same Content Engine (CE).

 Initializing a new Isolated Region creates a default structure as Inbox, default list and
event log.

 A supervisor uses FileNet Enterprise Manager (FEM) to outline the isolated region. A
method Engine host, the communication purpose, a password, and isolated region range
area unit needed to outline isolated regions in metallic elements.

23. Why can we want Multiple ‘isolated Regions’?

Ans:

An isolated region could be a logical subdivision of the progress info in FileNet method Engine.
Different units in a company UN agency don’t need to share progress information and will
produce totally different isolated regions.

For example the analysis department and therefore the finance department in a company have
2 all at once logically totally different processes. it’s suggested to own 2 totally different isolated
regions for these 2 departments.

Multiple isolated regions conjointly build it straightforward to take care of the systems. Changes
created into one region don’t have an effect on the users of another region.

24. What area unit differing types Of Queues In method Engine?

Ans:

Process Engine (PE) queues hold the work things waiting to be processed. The queues in
alphabetic character may be managed using the exploitation method Configuration Console
(PCC). alphabetic character has four differing types of queues:

User Queues:User queues hold work things allotted to a user or being half-tracked by a user.
There are 2 totally different forms of user queues created once AN Isolated Region is initialized.

Work Queues:Work queue holds work items which may be processed by one or several users as
a part of a gaggle.

Component queue:Component queue holds work things to be processed by part step in


progress. The elements step area unit to method a piece item exploitation AN external part.

System Queues:Internally utilized by method Engine, System queues don’t seem to be


accessible to the users or directors. Conductor, Delay, and InstructionSheet Interpreter area unit
few of the samples of system.

25. A way to Delete A Queue In Method Engine?

Ans:

FileNet doesn’t give any mechanism to delete a queue; whether or not it’s a piece queue or a
part queue.

 Export isolated region configuration information to XML – Use method Configuration


Console (PCC) to export all elements of selected isolated region.

 Initialize an isolated region.

 Take a backup of the XML file from the export in step one and punctiliously edit the XML
file to get rid of the nodes of unwanted queue.
 Import the XML move into recently initialized isolated regions with the choice
‘overwrite’.

 Validate the configuration.

 FileNet developers ought to style and tack together the queues terribly rigorously to
avoid a state of affairs wherever they’ll have to be compelled to delete a queue.

26. What Happens To The Work Things Once A Piece Queue Is Deleted From Pe?

Ans:

 The Process Engine work queue holds the work things. FileNet P8 doesn’t give any easier
thanks to delete a queue.

 Queues may be deleted by initializing the isolated region. once a queue is deleted all the
work things in it are deleted.

27. What’s The Distinction Between A List And A Queue?

Ans:

There is no gross distinction in querying a queue or a list. Each could be a table and therefore
the issue in querying them is going to be supported by the quantity of things required to be
reviewed by the info, the hassle in deconstructing what has to be came and therefore the range
of objects that area unit came from.

A list is employed to search out work. It represents work that might be in any range of various
queues. Otherwise you’d have to be compelled to scan every queue to search for work. Think
about it as an operation to your work in spite of the queue. A queue is employed to separate
similar work for similar actions.It’s rare to appear for work via a queue as a list is additional
economical. To method work you either grasp the queue it’s in (inbox vogue application), or
look it up within the list and so method it. you mostly come back to queue components or list
components in an exceedingly question wherever you don’t skill several things. this can be
merely a comeback of columns within the table.

Records will be electronic or physical (i.e. a document held in Ce or a physical book).

 A document that is further to Associate in Nursing IBM FileNet P8 content repository,


however it’s not nonetheless declared as a record is named as ‘document’, not a record.
 As presently because the document is asserted as a record, we have a tendency to think
about the document as a record.

 Document objects square measure hold on within the Records-enabled content Object
Store (ROS) and also the corresponding record objects square measure hold on within
the File arrange Object Store (FPOS).

32. Ought All The Properties Of Ce Replicated To Rm?

Ans:

No. One ought to avoid duplicating the properties unless and till it represents a selected
demand. Properties that have practical want for document management ought to be utilized in
Ce, whereas properties that have practical want for records management ought to be utilized in
RM. If a property happens to be required for each, then it ought to exist in each. Several
electronic warfare architects use the precise same properties in ROS (CE) and FPOS (RM) for
simplicity.

33.Explain the employment of FileNet Consistency Check utility.

Ans:

The FileNet Consistency Check tool could be a utility as a part of FileNet Enterprise
Management (FEM). It verifies files held on within the FileStore correspond to the information

Ans:

Custom objects will be made-to-order as {they square measure|they’re} all-purpose objects


whereas document objects contain information and content as its objects are instances of the
document category.

Content-less documents square measure utilized in pursuit of physical things like Video Tapes,
books, etc. This document contains the properties however has no content.
Custom objects don’t seem to be versionable. If versioning is needed then acceptable categories
are outlined in document category hierarchy and objects square measure hold on within the
content-less documents.

36. What happens to the work once a piece queue is deleted from PE?

Ans:

The work things are unbroken on hold within the method Engine work queue. The queues
square measure deleted once initializing the isolated region. Once the queue is deleted then all
the associated work things in it conjointly get deleted.

37.Where are you able to realize the terminated workflows or work items?

Ans:

The administrator was able to look for events within the event logs obtainable within the
FileNet method Administrator. The terminated work things square measure found through the
method administrator by looking out the data regarding these events.

38. What square measures the kinds of queues obtainable within the method Engine?

Ans:

There square measure four differing types of queues gift within the method Engine.

Work queues : The work things expect for processes within the work queues. It ensures the
quick process of things within the work queues.

Component queues : part queues method the advancement steps by configuring with external
entities like Java Message Service, method Configuration management.

System queues : The system queues square measure the queues which might be accessed solely
by the method Engine.

User queues : The user queues hold the work things that square measure assigned to users or
half-track by the users. Inbox and hunter square measure 2 queues that square measure
created mechanically once initializing an isolated region.

39.Describe the various ways in which to secure documents in FileNet Ce.

Ans:

There square measure 2 ways in which in securing the documents in FileNet Ce:

1.Access management List:The Access management List defines the access rights provided to
the users that embody viewing, change the content, publishing, updating, access rights and
information. Associate in Nursing authorization framework assigns the access rights to the user
teams or users supported organized LDAP repositories.

2.Marking sets:The Marking sets outline the extent of security for the objects. Access to things
is controlled by victimization, the marking sets supported providing the particular property
values.

40.Define root categories in FileNet.

Ans:

A category that doesn’t have any parent category is named a root class. The FileNet object store
contains numerous root categories like an occasion, selection list, annotation, document
category etc. the foundation categories square measure created mechanically once the thing
store is formed. Once making the foundation category the properties and subclasses will be
outlined or further to the object-store.

41.What is the distinction between the key Version and Minor Version?

Ans:

Content Engine supports two-level versioning wherever a document is either a serious or minor
version.

Key Version Minor Version

The documents with minor versions are denoted as “in- The documents will be promoted from the m
progress” whereas the key version documents are denoted major version or will be demoted from majo
as “completed”. minor version.

42.Should all properties of atomic number 58 replicate to RM?

Ans:

 No. it’s suggested to avoid duplicating the properties unless it represents a selected
demand.

 CE uses the properties that have the practical want for document management.

prices. Click here to scan a lot of concerning Marking Sets.

65. Mention the online Services Security (WS-Security) standard?

Ans:

FileNet net services use WS-Security standards for authentication. Like JAAS, WS-Security is
associate degree extensile customary that supports multiple security token formats i.e.

When the Content Engine server receives an online service request, the Content Engine net
Service auditor extracts the WS-Security header and performs a JAAS login supporting its
contents. If this JAAS login is fortunate, then the online service auditor passes the request onto
the Content Engine EJB layer inside the EJB instrumentation.
