Hints and tips

  1. To simplify the task of providing access to application groups and folders, give access to a group rather than a user. When a new user needs access, add the user to the group.
  2. To allow an Application Group/Folder Administrator to see groups in the permissions list, add the Application Group/Folder Administrator to the groups that require access to application groups and folders.
  3. To allow multiple users to administer the same groups, create a group of users and make that group the group owner for any groups that need to be administered by multiple users.
  4. The Create Groups authority is most effectively used if it is combined with the Create Users authority or added to a User Administrator. Because the purpose of a group is to give a set of users permissions to another object, it is not very useful if the user that creates the group does not have access to any users. Otherwise, the user that creates a group must be given access to each user that needs to be added to the group.
  5. If you need to reset the Content Manager OnDemand information related to your optical volumes, issue the following program call (with one parameter): 
    CALL PGM(QRDARS/QRLCASMROV) PARM(instancename)
    where instancename is the name of the Content Manager OnDemand instance for which you need to reset your optical volumes.

    Running this program updates the Optical Volume Capacity, recalculates the Optical Bytes Used, and sets the Optical Volume Full Flag to Y if it is currently set to N and the optical volume has less than 1 MB of space available. This program can only be run by a user profile with QONDADM group or supplemental group profile in their user profile.

    You should not run this program while the Archive Storage Manager (ASM) or the Disk Storage Manager (DSM) with ASM(*YES) are running. The program might cause some or all optical volumes that are known to Content Manager OnDemand to be mounted to check for space.
