190 IBM Content Manager OnDemand Guide
The ODWEK Java API provides line-of-business operations. For more information, see IBM 
Content Manager OnDemand Web Enablement Kit Java APIs: The Basics and Beyond, 
SG24-7646. 
8.1.2  Client infrastructure options
Several basic architectural options, Windows client, Content Navigator, or API-based client 
integration into your line-of-business application, are available.
Windows client
Consider the following items when you are planning a Windows client infrastructure:
/SM590000It is faster than the web clients and more powerful.
/SM590000It requires native installation on each user’s workstation or notebook. Server version 
upgrades might also require a new client installation.
/SM590000This client supports Citrix and Terminal services environments.
/SM590000It does not support the Transforms interface for transforming and converting data formats 
because the data formats are provided by ODWEK only.
Content Navigator
When you choose a ready-for-use web client, consider the IBM strategic client, IBM Content 
Navigator, because it is the most complete, most recent web client.
Special use cases might require the development of a custom client application for Content 
Manager OnDemand. For more information about development APIs, see 8.3, “Client API 
overview” on page 202. 
With Content Navigator, you can run a cross-repository search to search for content across 
multiple types of repositories, including Content Manager OnDemand. For example, Content 
Manager OnDemand search results can be included in the same hit list as search results 
from other supported repositories to help provide a comprehensive view of content.
When you create a cross-repository search, you can specify the following information: 
/SM590000Specify the scope of the search on each repository. Y ou can specify the search or the 
classes that you want to include in the cross-repository search by using IBM Content 
Manager OnDemand. On IBM FileNet Content Manager and IBM Content Manager, you 
also can limit the search to a specific folder.
/SM590000Specify how properties from each repository are related to each other.
/SM590000Specify any default search criteria that you want displayed when users open the search.

Navigator Knowledge Center at the following web address:
