This course provides technical professionals with the needed skills to build and configure an object store. It teaches you how to work with an IBM FileNet Content Manager repository.

The course begins with an introduction to IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation. You learn about IBM FileNet Content Manager container environment, features, and architecture. You create an object store in Administration Console for Content Platform Engine and configure it in the IBM Navigator administration desktop to make the repository accessible to business users.

You learn how to create storage areas and storage policies to store the repository content. You define choice lists and property templates to use it for the object classes metadata. You define custom Document classes and Folder classes to organize the documents. This course introduces security concepts for the IBM FileNet P8 assets.
