Starting a Collector Server instance from IBM Content Navigator

Edit online

Fix Pack 1

To start a Collector Server instance from IBM Content Navigator, you must change the instance configuration.

Before you begin

  • Configuring a daemon. Ensure that the daemon is running.
  • Ensure that the paths that you specified in the instance configuration do not contain any environment variables or shell expansions. Replace paths that contain environment variables or shell expansions with fully qualified paths.

Procedure

In Configuration Feature, take these steps:

  1. Open the instance configuration that you want to change.
  2. Go to Basic Configuration and complete the Instance Control section.
  3. Click Save. Then, click Start.
    You are prompted for the passwords of the SSL keystore, the SSL truststore, and all users that are specified in the instance configuration. You are prompted even if you already specified that information on a command line.

Results

All passwords are stored in the password file. The Collector Server instance uses them the next time that it is started. In addition, the master key is generated if it does not exist yet. The paths that you specified in the instance configuration are created if they do not exist.

The server configuration profile is stored on the system where Collector Server is installed. If, in the instance configuration, you specified the file name of the server configuration profile without a path, the server configuration profile is stored in the instance path. If you specified a fully qualified file name, the server configuration profile is stored in the path that you specified as part of the fully qualified file name.

What to do next
