When you create objects in Content Manager OnDemand, you assign names to the
various objects.
If you install Content Manager OnDemand with
a language that requires multiple bytes per character (for example,
Kanji), the number of characters permitted for a name is less than
the number listed in the sections that follow.
When naming a
user, the name that you specify:
- Can contain from one to 128 bytes, depending upon whether your Content Manager OnDemand user names are linked to
your IBM® i user profile names.
If you are using Content Manager OnDemand as
shipped, your Content Manager OnDemand user
names are linked to your IBM i
user profile names. This is the default setup and desirable for most
customers. However, you can change this if you like, so that there
is no relationship between your Content Manager OnDemand user
names and your IBM i user profile
names.
- Cannot include the * (asterisk), % (percentage) + (plus),
[ (left bracket), ] (right bracket), “ (double quotation mark)
- Must be unique
- By default, Content Manager OnDemand converts
lowercase letters in a user name to uppercase (for example, laguarde
is stored as LAGUARDE)
If you define your own logon user exit, then you can determine
the characteristics of user IDs on your system.
When creating
a password, the value that you specify:
- Can contain from one to 20 bytes. When creating a password, the
value that you specify can be a maximum of 20 bytes. However, the
password authentication that is built into Content Manager OnDemand verifies only the first
eight characters that are entered by the user. The additional characters
are provided for customers who choose to implement their own password
security by using the logon user exit. Contact the IBM support center for more information about
the logon user exit.
- By default, Content Manager OnDemand converts
lowercase letters in a password to uppercase (for example, laguarde
is stored as LAGUARDE). If you define a logon user exit, then you
can determine the characteristics of passwords on your system.
When naming a group, the name that you specify:
- Can contain from one to 128 bytes
- Cannot include the * (asterisk), ' (apostrophe) % (percentage)
+ (plus), [ (left bracket), ] (right bracket), “ (double quotation
mark)
- Must be unique
- Can be mixed case; however, Content Manager OnDemand ignores
the case (for example, LaGuarde is the same as laguarde)
When naming an application group, application, or folder,
the name that you specify:
- Can contain from one to 60 bytes, including embedded blanks. If
you choose to use the output queue monitor function of OnDemand to
automatically load your reports, then you should plan to name your
applications and application groups such that the first ten characters
match the spooled file name, userdata, formtype, or one of the other
supported spooled file attributes. See the IBM Content Manager OnDemand for i: Common Server
Administration Guide for more details about output queue monitors.
- Cannot include the '% (percentage), [ (left bracket), ] (right
bracket), or “ (double quotation mark) characters
- Can be mixed case; however, Content Manager OnDemand ignores
the case (for example, LaGuarde is the same as laguarde)
- An application name must be unique to the application group where
you assign the application
- An application group or folder name must be unique to the server
When naming a database field, the name that you specify:
When naming a logical view, the name that you specify:
- Can contain from one to 30 bytes
- Can be mixed case
- A public view must be unique to the application
- A private view must be unique to the user
When naming a folder field, the name that you specify:
- Can contain from one to 60 bytes, including embedded blanks
- Can be mixed case; however, Content Manager OnDemand ignores
the case (for example, Report Date is the same as report date)
- Must be unique to the folder
When naming a storage set or migration policy, the name
that you specify:
- Can contain from one to 60 bytes
- Can be mixed case; however, Content Manager OnDemand ignores
the case (for example, LaGuarde is the same as laguarde)
- Must be unique
When naming a server printer, the name that you specify:
- Can contain from one to 60 bytes
- Can be mixed case; however, Content Manager OnDemand ignores
the case (for example, LaGuarde is the same as laguarde)
- Must be unique to the server
When naming a server printer queue, the name that you
specify:
- Must be a valid output queue name on the server, entered in the
format of libraryname/outq
