Do you need to use IBM Filenet P8 Content Engine Bulk Import Tool? Me too. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any videos on how to get it setup, so I spent some time going through the documentation to learn how to use it, and put one together myself.  I hope you find it useful.   The […]

A couple of months ago, I did a video about spinning up a local P8 development instance in Docker. IBM has taken containerized instances a step further where P8 can also be deployed to Kubernetes. Here, I go through the steps involved to achieve a successful deployment. The container-sample, and container-navigator GIT repos mentioned in […]

If your organization is looking to implement something like this in your environment, give Perficient a call. We’ll be happy to assist.    For […]

There are many ways to implement FileNet P8 in an environment. Small organizations might have a simple implementation consisting of the Content Platform Engine (CPE), and Content Navigator. Large organizations may have multiple CPEs in a single cluster performing many different functions. Some of those functions are basic, such as end-users simply uploading or retrieving […]

Have you ever found yourself needing a development environment at 2 AM on a Wednesday morning? Well, maybe not, but if you have, and you are a FileNet P8 developer, or admin, you’re in luck. IBM has created an easy to spin up containerized implementation of P8. The instructions and code for installing it is […]

I created three videos with instructions on how to create a domain, an object store, and a document class with associated property templates and choice lists. However, all of these tasks assume you’ve installed, configured, and deployed the Content Platform Engine (CPE). Future videos will demonstrate how to do that. In the meantime, if you […]
