Chapter 17. Content Federation Services for Content Manager OnDemand and IBM Enterprise Records 369
Figure 17-2   Configuring an application group to enable Content Federation Services
When you create an application group, Content Federation Services for Content Manager 
OnDemand (CFS-CMOD) is disabled, by default. To enable, select Yes for the “Use Content 
Federation Services (CFS-CMOD)” option. Optionally, you can define whether you want to 
federate documents automatically and whether to enable Enterprise Records (previously 
known as IBM FileNet Records Manager) automatically. 
Selecting “Federate documents automatically” means that when data is loaded into Content 
Manager OnDemand, the metadata also is sent to Content Federation Services for Content 
Manager OnDemand to be made available to FileNet P8. 
The “Enable Enterprise Records to declare records automatically” option is used as a 
performance option. Setting this flag means that Content Manager OnDemand assumes that 
Enterprise Records now controls expiration processing. Not setting this option means that 
every time a document is put under Enterprise Records control, FileNet P8 then notifies 
Content Manager OnDemand to lock down the document, which might result in many 
requests to Content Manager OnDemand. By choosing to perform this task automatically, 
Content Manager OnDemand can avoid this impact.
17.2.3  Specifying the application group field
When you use FileNet P8 Content Federation Services for Content Manager OnDemand, you 
must define an application group field, which must be marked as CFS-CMOD, as shown in 
Figure 17-3 on page 370. To mark the field as the CFS-CMOD type, you must select Small 
Int (2) for the Data Type field. This field is used to maintain the Content Federation Services 
for Content Manager OnDemand status of individual documents. Figure 17-3 on page 370 
shows how to configure the application group field to enable Content Federation Services for 
Content Manager OnDemand.
