This IBM Redbook provides a basic introduction to IBM DB2 Content

Manager Version 8 eClient. By providing helpful, easy-to-understand

sample codes and step-by-step instructions, this redbook will help you

in your next eClient integration and customization project.

We provide detailed step-by-step instructions on installing eClient,

installing eClient in a WebSphere Network Deployment environment, and

using eClient.

To prepare for eClient customization and integration, we introduce J2EE,

servlets, and JSPs. We cover the eClient architecture and inspect a basic

eClient control flow. We also provide the essential information required

to start creating applications with EIP. We include sample codes to

demonstrate the usages of APIs. In addition, we provide step-by-step

instructions on setting up an eClient development environment and

discuss design and implementation considerations.

We provide sample codes for changing the look and feel, customizing the

edit attributes window, adding customized functions in the search

results window, and using EIP privileges for access control. By

demonstrating some of the customization with the sample codes, you

should have a better understanding of what and how you can customize

eClient for your business needs.

We cover e-mail integration and special topics on Information Mining

Service, Siebel integration, and single sign-on integration. The

installation, setup, configuration, and integration are presented with

detailed step-by-step instructions. We provide detailed sample codes for

enabling metadata-based data retrieval.

Finally, we provide tips and recommendations on how to troubleshoot

problems, with a list of typical problems and their resolutions. In addition,

we give a brief introduction on performance tuning for eClient.
