If you are facing issue with the WSE 3.0 and the IBM FileNet Webservice interface you might need to use .NET WCF instead of the old fashioned WSE 3.0 runtime. To use the WCF you need to complete the following tasks.

  1. uninstall the WSE 3.0 if you have it installed.
  2. enable the WCF in your .NET installation. On a Windows Server machine open the Window Server Manager and open “Add Roles and Features”. Navigate to the “Features” pane and extend the .NET Framework 4.6 Functions. Expand “WCF-Services” and make sure that the “TCP Port Sharing” is installed.

3. Change you FileNet connection URLs to use HTTPS instead of HTTP for the FileNet P8 WSI. If you have a self-signed SSL certificate in the WAS instance running CPE you might need to import the certificate in “Trusted Root Certifiacte” store on you Windows machine

That’s it. Now you can take advantage of the WCF services to use FileNet WSI.

  1. Howdy would you mind letting me know which hosting company you’re working
    with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different browsers and I must say this blog
    loads a lot faster then most. Can you recommend a good web hosting provider at a fair price?
    Cheers, I appreciate it!

  2. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but
    I find this topic to be actually something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and extremely broad for me.
    I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the
    hang of it!

  3. What i do not understood is in truth how you’re no longer actually
    a lot more smartly-liked than you might be now.

    You’re very intelligent. You know thus significantly with regards
    to this subject, made me individually imagine it from a lot of numerous
    angles. Its like women and men aren’t fascinated until it is something to do
    with Lady gaga! Your own stuffs nice. Always maintain it up!
