IBM Content Navigator, Version 2.0.3 Supports: Content Manager

Worksheet for configuring the Content Manager connector

If you plan to use IBM® Content Navigator to connect to IBM Content Manager Enterprise Edition repositories, work with your Content Manager administrator to gather the information that you need to configure the Content Manager connector. The IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool requires that you enter values prepared in advance. The worksheet is a useful place to put these values.

Print this worksheet and enter values as you prepare your installation.

Use this worksheet when you complete the following configuration and deployment task in the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool:

Configure the Content Manager Connector

Table 1. Parameters required to connect to your IBM Content Manager Enterprise Edition environment
Parameter	Description	Value
Database type	The type of database that your Content Manager library server uses. Valid values are: DB2 DB2ZOS ORACLE
Library server connection name	The unique name to use for the IBM Content Navigator web client when connecting to the library server.
Library server host name	The fully qualified host name of the machine where the library server resides. The name is the value that is specified for the ICMHOSTNAME variable in the cmbicmsrvs.ini file.
Library server database name	The existing name of the library server database. The default value is icmnlsdb. The name is the value that is specified for the ICMREMOTEDB variable in the cmbicmsrvs.ini file.
Library server schema name	The existing schema name of the library server. A schema name is an identifier, similar to a user ID, that is used to group tables and other database objects together. The default value is icmadmin. This name is the value that is specified for the ICMSCHEMA variable in the cmbicmsrvs.ini file.
Database port	The port number that the system administration client uses to access the library server. This is the value that is specified for the ICMPORT variable in the cmbicmsrvs.ini file.
Database instance name	DB2® for z/OS® users only. You must enter the Library server database name for this parameter. Note: This description is different from the description in the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool. Refer to this description when completing the task.
Library server connection ID	The database connection ID of the user that is authorized to connect to the library server. The default value is icmconct. You can obtain this ID from your Content Manager administrator.
Connection ID password	The password for the specified connection ID. You can obtain this password from your Content Manager administrator.
Database storage group	DB2 for z/OS users only The volumes where the Content Manager library server indexes are stored. Important: This description is different from the description in the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool. Refer to this description when completing the task.
JDBC driver version	DB2 and DB2 for z/OS users only. The version of the JDBC driver that is installed on both the Content Manager server and the IBM Content Navigator server.
Content Manager configuration script	The fully qualified path of the Content Manager configuration script, configureCM8JDBC.tcl. On AIX®, the default directory is /opt/IBM/ECMClient/configure/scripts/ configureCM8JDBC.tcl. On Linux, the default directory is /opt/IBM/ECMClient/configure/scripts/ configureCM8JDBC.tcl. On Linux for System z®, the default directory is /opt/IBM/ECMClient/configure/scripts/ configureCM8JDBC.tcl. On Windows, the default directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\ECMClient\configure\scripts\ configureCM8JDBC.tcl.
Temporary directory	The fully qualified path to a temporary directory that the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool can use to run the task. You must have read and write access for the directory. The default directory is the \configure\tmp subdirectory of the IBM Content Navigator installation directory. It is recommended that you use the default value.
Enable SSL	For communications between the web client and the Content Manager server to be encrypted, SSL encryption must be configured on the Content Manager server and the web application server. If your Content Manager environment is configured for SSL, you can select this option to enable IBM Content Navigator to use SSL to communicate with the repository. Specify whether this option applies to your environment.
Set up connection pooling	When connection pooling is enabled on the web application server, it improves the security, performance, and scalability of the web client. To secure IBM Content Navigator without connection pooling, configure IBM Content Navigator behind a firewall. Specify whether this option applies to your environment.
