Preparing the system for use

This section of the book describes how to verify the installation of Content Manager OnDemand.

Other important tasks described in this section include:
  • Defining migration policies and storage sets. You must add migration policies and storage sets to the system before you can create application groups or assign the system-defined application groups to a storage set. Depending on the storage management characteristics of the reports that you plan to store on the system, you might need to add more than one migration policy and storage set.
  • Configuring the system log application group. IBM® recommends that you assign the System Log application group to a storage set that specifies archive media (such as disk pool, optical, or tape) so that the system can maintain a permanent copy of the system log data.
  • Configuring the system migration application group. If you plan to migrate index data from the database to archive storage, then you must create a storage set that specifies archive media. After you add the storage set to the system, you can assign the System Migration application group to the storage set. (Migrating index data from the database to archive storage is not recommended.)
  • Creating a backup copy of the database. After installing and configuring Content Manager OnDemand, IBM recommends that you create a backup copy of the Content Manager OnDemand database.
