  • 1.  Upload Files to Filenet using REST or Web Service

    Posted Thu September 30, 2021 08:37 AM
    Hi,

    We need to upload files to Filenet, but we don't know if we can use a REST API to do that or we can use a web services.

    We will invoke this functionality from a Micro-service, it was developed in Java, and we are using Openshift as plataform. Could you help me please?

    Best regards!.

    Guillermo.

    Hi,
    you can use the FileNet WSI interface with the FileNet API or GraphQl Interface. As I know now rest api is available.

    Hi Guillermo,

    in general, you could use the Java API (using the web services transport), the web services API or the GraphQL API in order to allow a microservice to ingest documents into a FileNet Content Manager (FN CM) repository.
    If you are running the entire solution on OpenShift (including the FileNet repository), I'd recommend to use the GraphQL API as it is the most modern one and hase a number of benefits, especially when designing cloud native solutions. You just include the GraphQL container into your FN CM deployment in order to use this API (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/filenet-p8-platform/5.5.x?topic=containers-preparing-environment-container-deployments).
    If you are running FN CM  traditionally deployed, you can also use the GraphQL API (assuming your deployment is based on Websphere App Server) but in this case your deployment must be on the most current level of FN CM (5.5.7) as we just introduced GraphQL for non-containerized deployments with this release. You can find instructions how to install this API for traditional deployments in the documentation as well (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6459811).

    In case you cannot accomodate for the GraphQL API in your environment, you can find more information on using the FN CM Webservices API at https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/filenet-p8-platform/5.5.x?topic=concepts-introduction

    Best regards,
    Michael

    Hi Guillermo... another alternative is to use IBM CMIS services if you have it installed in your environment.

    In the Apache Chemistry project website (http://chemistry.apache.org), you can find a lot of resources that can help you: documentation of CMIS specification, code examples and libraries for different programing languages that you can use in your implementation.

    Saludos/Regards.
