Content Server - Placement of Jars

to ensure the docuflow application functions correctly with cm8 (content manager 8), it's crucial to update specific jar files follow these detailed steps to correctly update and manage these files the following jar files must be updated to maintain compatibility and functionality cmbicmsdk81 jar this jar file contains the sdk components necessary for interacting with the cm8 system db2jcc4 jar this is the ibm db2 universal jdbc driver, essential for establishing a connection between docuflow and a db2 database db2jcc license cu jar this jar file includes the necessary license for the db2 jdbc driver to function properly to ensure optimal performance and access to the latest features and bug fixes, you must use the most recent versions of these jar files navigate to your cm8 installation directory where these jar files are located this directory typically resides on the server where cm8 is installed identify the latest versions of cmbicmsdk81 jar, db2jcc4 jar, and db2jcc license cu jar it is important to select the most up to date versions to avoid issues that could arise from using outdated files after identifying the correct files, the next step is to transfer them to the appropriate directory within your docuflow installation copy the latest cmbicmsdk81 jar, db2jcc4 jar, and db2jcc license cu jar files from the cm8 installation directory navigate to the lib\cm8 folder within your docuflow installation directory this folder contains all the necessary libraries that docuflow depends on to interact with cm8 if there are existing versions of these files in the lib\cm8 folder ensure that you overwrite the existing files with the newly copied versions overwriting the old files is crucial to prevent version conflicts, which could lead to runtime errors or unexpected behavior in docuflow verify that the overwrite process has successfully replaced the old files with the new ones once you have copied and overwritten the files double check that the lib\cm8 folder now contains the latest versions of cmbicmsdk81 jar, db2jcc4 jar, and db2jcc license cu jar test the docuflow application to ensure that it integrates seamlessly with cm8 using the updated libraries to ensure smooth future maintenance, it's advisable to document this update process record the versions of the jar files that you have copied, along with the date and time of the update this documentation can be invaluable for troubleshooting future issues or for audit purposes keep a backup of the old jar files before overwriting them, just in case you need to revert to the previous state for any reason
