Work with your database administrator to gather the information that you need to connect to yourDB2® for z/OS® database, create a data source for your IBM® Content Navigator database on the web application server, and update the script that is used to create a table for IBM Content Navigator on your DB2 for z/OS database. The data source enables the web client to connect to the IBM Content Navigator database. The IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool requires that you enter values that are prepared in advance. The worksheet is a useful place to put these values.
Print this worksheet and enter values as you prepare for your installation.
Parameter | Description | Value |
---|---|---|
JDBC driver | The JDBC driver that corresponds to the type of database where you will store IBM Content Navigator configuration data. IBM Content
Navigator supports
the following JDBC drivers:
Remember: You must copy the
JDBC driver for your database to the IBM Content
Navigator server.
In addition, if you are deploying on Oracle WebLogic Server, you must add the JDBC driver class path to the Oracle WebLogic Server startup script. For more information, see Preparing Oracle WebLogic Server for IBM Content Navigator. |
DB2 for z/OS Universal JDBC driver |
JDBC driver version | The version of the JDBC driver that is installed on the IBM Content Navigator database server. | |
Database version | The version of the database that is installed on the IBM Content Navigator database server. | |
JDBC data source name | The name of the non-XA
JDBC data source that you want to create to communicate with the IBM Content
Navigator database. The name
must be unique and cannot contain spaces. The default name is ECMClientDS. You cannot run this task if the data source name exists on your web application server. It is recommended that you remove the existing data source by using your application server administration tools before you run this task. |
|
Database host name | The short name, long name, or the IP address of the server where the IBM Content Navigator database software is installed. | |
Database port | The port number that is used by the database instance where you want to create the IBM Content Navigator configuration table. The default port is 446. | |
Database instance name | The unique name to use for
the web client when connecting to the IBM Content
Navigator configuration database. The name must contain 1 - 8 characters. The name cannot contain spaces or special characters. |
|
Database name | The name of the database that you created to store the IBM Content Navigator configuration data and user preferences. This is the database where you want to create the IBM Content Navigator configuration table. You must specify an existing database. | |
Database user name | The name of the database user that
theIBM Content
Navigator data source
will use to connect to the database. The user must have INSERT, DELETE, and SELECT authority on the IBM Content Navigator configuration table. |
|
Database user password | The password of the specified database user. | |
Database storage group | The volumes where the IBM Content
Navigator database table and indexes
will be stored. Specify the value that you used when you created the IBM Content Navigator database. If you used the sample script to create your database, this is the ECMClient_STOGROUP parameter. |
|
Storage group option | The storage group options recommended by your database administrator. The storage group options are part of the SQL command CREATE INDEX USING STOGROUP. IBM Content Navigator uses the storage group options to create an index for the database. The default option is PRIQTY 10 SECQTY 5. | |
IBM Content Navigator administrator | The name of the user that you want to use as the IBM Content
Navigator administrator. Important: This
user must be an existing web application server user name or LDAP user
name.
This parameter is the ECMClient_ADMINID parameter in the database script, DB2Z_ONE_SCRIPT.sql. |
|
IBM Content Navigator schema name | The name that you want to use for the schema when you create the
IBM Content
Navigator database table. See your database
documentation for naming restrictions. This parameter is the ECMClient_SCHEMA parameter in the database script, DB2Z_ONE_SCRIPT.sql. |
|
Table space name | The name of the table space that you want to create on the
IBM Content
Navigator configuration database. This parameter is the ECMClient_TBLSPACE parameter in the database script, DB2Z_ONE_SCRIPT.sql. |
|
Table space buffer pool | The name of the buffer pool that you want to use for the IBM Content Navigator configuration table. | |
Table space buffer pool | The name of the buffer pool that you want to use for the IBM Content Navigator configuration table. | |
JDBC configuration script | The fully qualified
path of the JDBC data source configuration script. The name of the
script depends on the web application server you are using:
|
|
Current database configuration | Specify whether your database has already been configured for IBM Content Navigator or not. | |
Run the script on your database | You can use the IBM Content
Navigator Configuration and Deployment
Tool to run the script that is generated by this task on your database
server. When you run this script, it creates the objects that you identified in this task on the database and populates the database with the default configuration. If you do not select this option, you must manually run the updated script on your database server to create the IBM Content Navigator configuration table on your database instance. You must complete this step after you deploy the web application but before you administer the web client. Specify whether this option applies to your environment. |
|
Enable database connection validation | You can enable
connection validation (WebSphere Application
Server) or automatic connection
testing (Oracle WebLogic Server)
on the data source to decrease the likelihood of the
web client encountering a connection failure to the
database. For more information on connection validation and automatic connection testing, see your web application server documentation. Specify whether this option applies to your environment. |
