IBM Enterprise Information Portal Version 7.1 (EIP) is IBM's state of the
art middleware
product that provides the ability to perform a single federated search
across multiple
back end repositories. It is also the preferred vehicle for providing Web
access to the
IBM Content Management products.

Planning an EIP implementation requires an understanding of the components
in the
IBM EIP Version 7.1 product, the EIP severs and clients, the backend
content servers
to be connected to, and the requirements for additional features.

This Redbook describes typical configurations for an EIP implementation,
and
discusses the sizing, security, and performance issues related with each
configuration.

This Redbook also describes the processes for fat client deployment, thin
client
deployment, and MIME type configurations for viewing the documents.

Installation and configuration check lists are also provided.

Title:                    The IBM Enterprise Information Portal  A
Practical Approach


Can now be downloaded as a PDF file

and ordered in hardcopy two weeks following the Publish Date!

(see http://ibm.com/redbooks/abstracts/sg246101.html for online access)

The IBM Enterprise Information Portal (EIP) is a comprehensive portal
environment that can bring all your enterprise resources to your
workstation
desktop. EIP can help maximize the value of your information and multimedia
assets by connecting disparate content servers through a single client.

The EIP client provides search capabilities that enable users to quickly
and
concurrently access all connected servers.

This IBM Redbook will help you design and create a solution for the IBM
Enterprise
Information Portal Version 6.1, from a typical business case.

This redbook outlines the justification, design, and implementation of
solutions
 to address the requirements of a fictitious company, BB Insurance, and
provides
Java examples of how to program to the EIP and its supported datastore
interfaces.

These samples include a fat Java client and a thin Java client using JSP's
and
servlets.

A solid understanding of Java programming, database architectures, and the
Internet is assumed.
