Content Management and Capture

In a traditional WebSphere FileNet environment are there any best practices to follow about where to install and deploy GraphQL?

What I mean is, given: ICN on one VM running in an App Server, CPE on another VM running in an App Server.   

1. Does GraphQL need to go on another VM or can we spin up an additional App Server to run along side ICN or CPE. 
2. If we can just add an App server, where does it make the most sense to add it. Along side ICN or CPE.

Thank you for your insights.

Hi Chuck,

from a deployment perspective, you could install GraphQL into the same WAS instance as CPE (or ICN) or into its own WAS instance.

In most scenarios, GraphQL will talk to the CPE, thus deploying it next to CPE might be useful to reduce network traffic. 

I'd recommend to look into the install docs

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/filenet-p8-platform/5.5.x?topic=tasks-installing-configuring-content-services-graphql-api

as it gives some advise on LTPA token, SSO, etc.

Also very helpful is Rogers blog entry on the implementation of SSO.

Hope this helps?

Best regards,

Michael

Hello, Do you have a document valid for websphere cluster setup? I suspect we do not need to export and copy the ltpa key

Hi Michael,

From performance and best practices stand point, to handle 100k-200k GraphQL API calls per day , is it a better option to host the GraphQL on a dedicated t-WAS Cluster and instead of collocating with CPE JVM?
