IBM Content Analytics with Enterprise Search, Version 3.0.0                  

Starting the system

You must log in as the default IBM® Content Analytics with Enterprise Search administrator to start the system.

The user account must be one that can be authenticated with local authentication. If you attempt to start the system with an Andrew File System (AFS®) account, errors occur.

The first time that you log in as the administrative user and start the system, the First Steps program starts automatically. On Windows Server 2008, click Start > All Programs > IBM Content Analytics with Enterprise Search > Start up, and click Run as administrative user.

Restriction: The First Steps program does not start automatically if you are a non-root user on an AIX or Linux system. If you want to use the First Steps program, you must start it manually.

To start the system:

  1. Log in as the default IBM Content Analytics with Enterprise Search administrator. Start the common communication layer (CCL) by entering the command that is appropriate for your operating system.
