Procedure
To install and configure the Content Manager OnDemand software, do the following
tasks:
- Review the IBM Content
Manager OnDemand for z/OS:
Introduction and Planning Guide.
- Review all of the information in Before you begin
- Review the current Preventive Service Planning (PSP) information. PSP buckets are identified by UPGRADEs, which identify product
levels and SUBSETs, which specify the FMIDs for a product level. The
UPGRADE value for Content Manager OnDemand is ODMP95. The SUBSET value for Content Manager OnDemand is H272950.
- Determine the type of system configuration that you need
to install. To learn more about system configurations,
see Server configurations.
- Verify that your site has installed the required and optional
hardware and software products. For a list of the Content Manager OnDemand prerequisites, see Hardware and software requirements.
- Contact the IBM® support
center for the latest maintenance levels of the required and optional
software, including z/OS®, DB2®, and Content Manager OnDemand.
- Print, read and perform any required tasks in Installing the server software.
- Install the Content Manager OnDemand software. For installation instructions, see Installing the server software.
- Configure the server control files. For an overview
of this task, see Configuring a single instance of Content Manager OnDemand.
- Copy the control files. For more information,
see Copy server control files.
- Verify the ARS.INI file. For
more information, see Verify the ARS.INI file.
- Verify the ARS.CFG file. For
more information, see Verify the ARS.CFG file.
- Modify the ARS.CACHE file. For more information, see Modify the ARS.CACHE file.
- Optional: Verify the LDAP configuration
files. For more information, see Configure LDAP (optional).
- Optional: Verify the CLI.INI file. For more information, see Verify the CLI.INI file.
- Modify the ARSSOCKD procedure. For more information,

- Modify the ARSLOAD procedure. For more information,
seeModify the ARSLOAD procedure.
- Create and initialize the database. For an overview
of this task, see Creating and initializing the database.
- Create the storage group and database. For
more information, see Creating the storage group and database.
- Create a table space for the Content Manager OnDemand system tables. For
more information, see Creating the table spaces.
- Create the Content Manager OnDemand system
tables. For more information, see Creating the Content Manager OnDemand system tables.
- Initialize the system log component. For
more information, see Initializing the system log.
- Optional: Initialize the system load logging
facility by running the ARSSYSCR program. For more information,
see Initializing the system load logging facility.
- Initialize the system migration component. For
more information, see Initializing system migration.
- Prepare the system for use. For an overview
of this task, see Preparing the system for use.
- Define storage sets. You must define storage
sets before you can add application groups or load data into the system.
For more information, see Preparing the system for use.
- Configure the System Log application group. Before
you define reports to the system, load data, or let users access the
system, IBM recommends that
you configure the System Log application group. For more information,
see Configuring the System Log application group.
- Optional: Configure the System Load application
group. For more information, see Configuring the System Load application group.

- Backup the Content Manager OnDemand database. After configuring
the system, IBM recommends that
you create a full backup image of the Content Manager OnDemand database. For more information,
see Back up the Content Manager OnDemand database.
- Verify the installation. For an overview of
the steps in this task, see Verifying the installation.
- Restart the system.
- Start the server program (ARSSOCKD).
