I am seeking end-to-end technical guidance and learning resources for IBM FileNet P8, specifically covering ACCE, IBM Content Navigator (ICN), and FNCMIS.
I would appreciate community input not only on best practices but also on recommended learning materials (official documentation, Redbooks, tutorials, blogs, sample implementations, or structured learning paths) that help cover all major aspects of FileNet P8.
Areas of interest include:
1. FileNet P8 Architecture & Core Components
-
Content Engine (CE), Process Engine (PE), and Object Stores
-
ACCE vs ICN roles and usage
-
Storage areas, file systems vs database storage
-
Security model (users, groups, ACLs, roles)
2. Administration Using ACCE & ICN
-
Object Store configuration and tuning
-
Document classes, folder structures, and metadata design
-
Choice lists, property templates, and lifecycle policies
-
Versioning, retention, and records management basics
3. Event Actions, Customization & Automation
-
Java / JavaScript Event Action Handlers
-
Change Preprocessors and their limitations
-
Subscriptions, code modules, and deployment best practices
-
Performance and transactional considerations
4. Integration & FNCMIS
-
FNCMIS architecture and configuration
-
CMIS object model mapping with FileNet
-
Best practices for CMIS-based integrations
-
Security and performance considerations
5. Search, Performance & Scalability
-
Indexing and search configuration
-
Foldering, content aggregation, and large-folder strategies
-
Database and storage performance considerations
-
Monitoring, troubleshooting, and common production issues
6. Deployment, Migration & Operations
-
Environment setup (DEV / TEST / UAT / PROD)
-
Object Store migration and promotion strategies
-
Deployment Manager usage and limitations
-
Backup, recovery, and operational best practices
I am especially interested in structured learning paths or recommended sequences of materials that provide a complete understanding of FileNet P8, rather than isolated topic-level references.
Any guidance, documentation links, or real-world experience shared by the community would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
