Verify the ARS.CFG file

The ars.cfg file contains parameters related to licenses, servers, temporary storage, archive manager, and the database. For a distributed library and object server system, you must configure a separate copy of the ars.cfg file on each server that is part of the system.

The following example shows the content of the ars.cfg file:

ARS_ORIGINAL_CODEPAGE=
ARS_DB_TABLESPACE=ARSTSPAC=
ARS_LOCAL_SRVR=
ARS_NUM_DBSRVR=4
ARS_NUM_LICENSE=1
ARS_NUM_OAMSRVR=4
ARS_OAM_DB2SSID=DSNA
ARS_OAM_PLAN=CBRIDBS
ARS_PRINT_PATH=/ars/tmp
ARS_SRVR=
DB_ENGINE=DB2
ARS_LDAP_ALLOW_ANONYMOUS=TRUE /* Allow anonymous bind connections */
ARS_LDAP_BASE_DN=foo /* Specifies 'foo' as base distinguished name */
ARS_LDAP_BIND_ATTRIBUTE=bar /* Specifies 'bar' as bound attribute */
ARS_LDAP_BIND_MESSAGES_FILE='$ONDEMAND/LDAP/msg_string.txt' /* Specifies location \
of LDAP message string file */
ARS_LDAP_MAPPED_ATTRIBUTE=foonly /* Specifies attribute 'foonly' returned to \
OnDemand as user ID */
ARS_LDAP_PORT=389 /* Specifies port on which LDAP listens */
ARS_LDAP_SERVER=127.0.0.1 /* Specifies IP address of LDAP server */

You should verify that the parameters in the ars.cfg file specify information that is correct for your Content Manager OnDemand system. To verify the file, log on as the super user or as any user set up with appropriate permissions. Change to the /usr/lpp/ars/V9R5M0/config directory. Use a standard text editor to modify the file.

The ARS.CFG file might contain parameters other than those described in the following topics. However, the parameters that are described in the following topics are the only parameters that apply to a Content Manager OnDemand system that runs on z/OS®.
