Unstructured information (such as notes, comments, or messages) about a folder or
document.
application engine
This web server hosts different web applications that can access the Content Engine. For
example, Workplace (the default front end for web-access to Content Engine) is hosted on the
Application Engine. Application Engine can use the same Application Server as Content Engine
does.
application server
The web server which runs the Java machine and hosts Java-based P8 services (such as the
Content Engine and Application Engine).
C
compound document
A collection of files that are used together to form a single complete document. A compound
document has a property setting of CompoundDocumentState=1 and consists of
the following:
A parent document component. This parent document is not required to contain
content.
A child document component linked to a parent document component by a component
relationship object. Any child document component can be the parent document component of
another compound document structure.
A component relationship object that links together a parent document component with its
child document components.
containment name
The string property that identifies an item of a folder. A document in the Object Store can
be stored into several folders. Each item of the folder should have unique containment name.
Usually, the containment name of a document is the same as its title, but it’s possible that a
document has different containment names in each folder where it is stored.
content element
File or reference to external content contained in a document object or annotation object.
Each document object or annotation object of the FileNet P8 Content Engine object store may
contain one or several content elements.
D
display name
A human-readable name of a class depending on the current client locale settings.
E
event action
A script, object, or workflow that Content Engine runs, as defined in a subscription or event subscription. Event actions can
be used to launch workflows and to declare records.
I
ID
Unique identifier of an object (string in the form of GUID). Each object in the FileNet P8
Content Engine has its unique ID: a document, a folder, a custom object and even an object store.
M
major version
A document version that has been released. Typically, the security of a major version makes
the document available to a wide range of users. A major version always has an integer other
than zero as its major number, and always has a minor number equal to zero; for example,
5.0.
Microsoft Web Services Enhancements 3.0
The library to build Web-services and Web service clients. This library utilizes MTOM extension to pass binary data.
minor version
A document version that has not been released. Typically, the security of a minor version
makes the document available only to the authors and reviewers. h 0.1 and 4.32 are examples of
a Minor version. Reservation versions are always assigned a Minor number. If a new document is
first checked in as a minor version, its version number becomes 0.1. The next version in this
series would be 0.2 if a minor, and would be 1.0 if it is checked in as a Major.
Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism
The SOAP protocol extension that is used to communicate with FileNet P8 Content Engine 4.0
and 4.5 web service to send documents.
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension
A specification for formatting non-ASCII messages so that they can be sent over the
Internet. FileNet P8 Content Engine provides a document property called MIME type. The value
for MIME type identifies a type of data in the document (such as text, XML, or
application).
O
object store
A set of services provided by Content Engine to access and manage documents and their
objects.
S
security realm
The collection of all user accounts and group memberships available to the FileNet P8
domain. Realms are created, maintained, and authenticated by the authentication provider and
are thereafter read and utilized by a FileNet P8 domain.
subscription
A method that sets up the conditions required for an event
action to take place and the class, object, instance or workflow the event acts
upon.
symbolic name
The non-localized human-readable name of a document class that can be used as a
programmatic identifier.
V
version series
All versions of a document. A version series from which one or more versions have been
deleted is said to be a sparse version series. The version number is unique in the document's
version series and is actually comprised of two properties: the Major version number and the
Minor version number. For example, in version number 5.2 the Major number is 5 and the Minor
number is 2.
version status
The state of a version. Minor versions have the
status In Process, Reservation, or Superseded. Major versions have the status Released,
Reservation, or Superseded. These four version states are actually stored
as integers and are sometimes displayed as integers by Enterprise Manager and applications
such as Workplace:
Released = 1 (a Major version which
is generally made available to all users).
In Process = 2 (a checked in Minor
version, which is generally made available to a restricted set of authors and
reviewers).
Reservation = 3 (a document whose content is currently being edited).
Superseded = 4 (a Major or Minor version that is no longer the most recent
version).
