Worksheet for configuring IBM CMIS for Content Manager

If you want to enable client applications that use the OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services standard to work with content that is stored on an IBM® Content Manager repository, work with your IBM Content Manager administrator to gather the information that you need to configure the IBM CMIS for Content Manager web application. 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 for your installation.

Use this worksheet when you complete the following configuration and deployment task in the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool:
  • Configure IBM CMIS for Content Manager
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 for client web applications to use when they connect to the library server by using IBM CMIS for Content Manager.  
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 administrative user The IBM Content Manager administrator user name.  
Library server administrative password The password for the IBM Content Manager administrator.  
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 number 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.  
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.  
JDBC driver version DB2® and DB2 for z/OS® users only.

The version of the JDBC driver that is installed on both the IBM Content Manager server and the IBM CMIS for Content Manager server.

 
IBM CMIS configuration script The fully qualified path of the IBM CMIS for Content Managerconfiguration script named configureCMISCMJDBC.tcl.
  • On AIX®, the default directory is /opt/IBM/ECMClient/configure/scripts/ configureCMISCMJDBC.tcl.
  • On Linux, the default directory is /opt/IBM/ECMClient/configure/scripts/ configureCMISCMJDBC.tcl.
  • On Linux for System z®, the default directory is /opt/IBM/ECMClient/configure/scripts/ configureCMISCMJDBC.tcl.
  • On Windows, the default directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\ECMClient\configure\scripts\ configureCMISCMJDBC.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.

 
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 CMIS for Content Manager without connection pooling, configure IBM CMIS for Content Manager behind a firewall.

Specify whether this option applies to your environment.

 
Run the PathModelCreate tool Run the PathModelCreate tool from the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool. The PathModelCreate tool defines a data model with the minimum set of metadata that is required for IBM CMIS for Content Manager to work.

If you do not select this option, you can run the PathModelCreate tool after you deploy your web application.

Important: You cannot use the deployed application until you create a data model for IBM CMIS for Content Manager on your IBM Content Manager repository.
