System Requirements

FileNet P8 Connector can be installed as part of a larger system that includes an IDOL Server and an interface for the information stored in IDOL Server. To maximize performance, OpenText recommends that you install IDOL Server and the connector on different machines.

For information about the minimum system requirements required to run IDOL components, including FileNet P8 Connector, refer to the IDOL Getting Started Guide.

The connector can be installed on any computer provided it can communicate with the Web service (the connector takes the Web service URL and authentication details in its configuration file).

The connector installation includes some FileNet JAR files (including Jace.jar, xlxpScanner.jar, and xlxpScannerUtils.jar). If you run the connector and see errors similar to the following, find the corresponding files in your FileNet installation and copy them into the connector installation, replacing the files supplied with the connector:
