An
IBM® Content
Manager OnDemand instance is
a logical server environment consisting of a server and its own separate
database and disk space. Each
Content Manager OnDemand instance
(the server, database and disk):
- Has its own definition of folders, application groups, applications
and printers
- Must run in a single CCSID
- Has different security (users, groups, folder and application
group permissions)
- Must have its name specified on commands if it is not the default
instance
- Has its own System Log
Some reasons you might have multiple instances on a machine are:
- To have distinct test and production environments
- To have databases using different CCSIDs
For Content Manager OnDemand, IBM recommends that you name your
primary production, or only, instance QUSROND. This is the default
OnDemand instance that is used on all OnDemand commands unless you
explicitly specify a different instance name. Using this as your primary
OnDemand instance will save you from having to specify an instance
name in most cases.
