Organize a migration from IBM BOX.
I have written a backend java application for migrating documents from IBM BOX into IBM Global Image repository (Filenet). I have read all the guides and reference docs of IBM BOX authentication methods and "working with files" or "working with users" articles but still can not clearly understand how can I organize the migration.
I have an IBM BOX authorized application with JWT authentication method (because I do not have any UI and do not have any BOX users). So as I understood from reference I have now a service user profile without an access to IBM BOX documents. If I upload documents using this account I see them and can download after. I have my own IBM BOX account that I used to create a BOX application and the owner of folder to be migrated added me as a collaborator to this folder. So, when I create a developer token (for 1 hour) and use it in my backend app I can see all the content and can work with it, but using JWT I can not. What should I do to work with my IBM BOX user's content?

Hello ,
"So, when I create a developer token (for 1 hour) and use it in my backend app I can see all the content and can work with it, but using JWT I can not. "
When you generate a developer token it's a token for whatever account is logged into the developer console. This is most likely going to be your own Box account as opposed to a token to your JWT app service account, which changes what content it can interact with.

Have you seen DocuBridge? It allows you to simply move files between Box and IBM FileNet or vice-versa.
