IBM FileNet Content Services is a flexible, full-featured content management solution that provides the foundation for IBM Cloud Pak® for Business Automation. In labs you will get introduced to important core concepts of FileNet Content Platform Engine and Content Services GraphQL and IBM Content Navigator which will enable you to use FileNet Content Platform Engine to build the information architecture for automation projects realized with Cloud Pak for Business Automation.
Track 2 - Developer Role / Solution Implementation

Setting up FileNet Content Manager for Automation Projects on Cloud Pak for Business Automation: In this lab, you will create a small hierarchy of Document classes to capture different kinds of documents together with custom metadata, and will learn about the most important security concepts. You will explore Document storage and learn to migrate documents between different Storage Areas. Further you will determine how to trigger custom actions for example when new documents have arrived, and how to configure and test functionality of content based retrieval, i.e. searches for documents based on information contained in the documents themselves, not (only) on their metadata.
On this lab, for triggering the custom actions, a custom javascript is used to file a newly uploaded document into a folder, those identity is derived from a search. The script is available in the Lab Data folder. Be aware that in the script, some replacements need to be made, to make it refer to the right properties. The username prefix is denoted by usrxxx in the script, and the xxx part needs to be updated.
Approximate Duration: 4 - 5 hours

Interfacing FileNet Content Platform Engine with GraphQL on Cloud Pak for Business Automation: The second lab on GraphQL builds on top of the first one, as the searches performed using GraphQL use the documents and document classes defined in the first lab. Here you learn by a series of example, how to build the most important queries using GraphQL. The examples also show how to download documents using GraphQL, how to create folders, and modify security settings.
Approximate Duration: 1.5 - 2 hours
-
Content Navigator on Cloud Pak for Business Automation: The third lab on IBM Content Navigator builds on top of the first, but not the second one. In it you can learn important concepts which allow you to configure IBM Content Navigator for a business application. The administration parts of the lab cannot be performed in the context of the shared lab environment of the JAM, and are provided as Walkthroughs in the lab guide.
