Title: ICN to CMOD and CMEE
Post by: Smitty on February 01, 2018, 10:50:09 AM

We use CMOD and CMEE, both with their own separate ICN front end. I know ICN is capable of accessing/doing lookups from multiple repositories at the same time and returning the results. Basically, users want to do a search in CMEE and retrieve documents from CMEE and CMOD.

Anyone using this set up?

Thanks,

Maybe start with a more basic question...

Anyone using ICN in a cross-repository environment?

And for further clarification, CMEE is Content Manager Enterprise Edition, a.k.a. CMv8.

I'm embarrassed to admit I had to look it up.  :D

you're embarrassed, we are still running CM 7.3 ( on iSeries)

Unfortunately, there is not an IBM supported ICN connector to CM iSeries.  Also, IBM has announced that End-of-Support for CM iSeries is later this year, Sept. 30, 2018.  With this EOS, one option is to migrate your CM iSeries repository to CMOD iSeries to get on a supported product and have a single user interface for retrieval.

We are running CMOD/CMEE on their own AIX server. From the ICN on the CMEE side, we want access CMOD (cross-repository). According to IBM all we need to do is install the ODWEK software on the CMEE server to talk to CMOD.

We are just waiting for Mgmt's approval to install ODWEK and try it out.

I am thinking you are already using ICN from CMEE and pulling docs from CM 7.3 ( on iSeries).
Is this a supported architecture from IBM?
I am assuming you are leaving the i-series as is and not moving your data to CMEE.
Looking for similar exercise on ours too.

Thank you
