Starting First Steps on Linux or AIX

You can use First Steps to load sample data and to verify that Content Manager Enterprise Edition is working correctly.

About this task

To start First Steps:

Procedure

Change to /opt/IBM/db2cmv8/firststeps.
The First Steps window opens. You can read the First Steps tutorial by clicking the First Steps Information button. When you are ready to start using First Steps, follow the remaining steps.
Enter ./cm_run_firststeps.sh.
Click Load Sample Data.
An input window opens. Enter the following values if you selected the default values during the installation program:
```
Library server database name:      icmnlsdb
Resource manager name:             rmdb
User Id:                           icmadmin
Password:                          password
```
Wait several minutes for the sample data to load. An hour glass is displayed indicating the progress. When you see the hour glass disappear, you will see a message indicating the sample data has been loaded successfully.
Click Work with Sample Data.
This starts the system administration client. Alternatively, change to the directory /opt/IBM/db2cmv8/admin/common/, and then enter ./cmadmin.sh
The system administration client Logon window opens.
Make sure that Content Manager Enterprise Edition and the correct database are selected from the lists. Log in with the Db2® administration ID you specified for the library server database during the Content Manager Enterprise Edition installation, for example: icmadmin.

Results

Successful logon means that your communication between the library server and the system administration client is working and also indicates that the library server database was created.

Verify that the data was loaded by looking for the sample item type definitions beginning with the prefix XYZ.

First Steps redirects the standard output and standard error to the file FirstStepsCM-{user.name}.standard.output on Linux® or AIX®. You can find the file in the /tmp directory.
