Enabling the Add Document function

You can add individual documents from your workstation to a Content Manager OnDemand folder by using the Add Document dialog.

About this task

The Add Document dialog appears when you select the Add Document command from the File menu when the Search Criteria and Document List window is active.

The Add Document function allows you to perform ad hoc loading of individual documents. For bulk loading, see the ARSLOAD server program on all platforms or the ADDRPTOND or STRMONOND server commands on IBM i servers. Important: No data validation is performed when using this function. The user is responsible for loading data that is correctly formatted for the selected Content Manager OnDemand application.

Add document permissions are required to access the Add Document dialog, otherwise the option is disabled. Add document permissions are located on the Application Group Permissions tab.

Parameters must be added to the ARS.CFG configuration file on the Content Manager OnDemand server to enable the Add Document function. The directories specified must exist. For example:

On Unix servers and z/OS servers, add two values to the instance's ARS.CFG file:
```
ARS_DOWNLOAD_DIR=/arstmp
ARS_DOWNLOAD_TMP_DIR=/arstmp
```
On Windows servers, by using the OnDemand Configurator, Configuration Parameters panel (select the Parameters button on the Instance tab to launch the Configuration Parameters panel), enter ARS_DOWNLOAD_DIR in the Name field and a valid directory for the Value field and select the Add button. Take similar steps to add an entry for the ARS_DOWNLOAD_TMP_DIR.
On IBM i servers, add two values to the /QIBM/UserData/OnDemand/<instance name>/ARS.CFG (where <instance name> is the name of your Content Manager OnDemand instance):
```
ARS_DOWNLOAD_DIR=/arstmp
ARS_DOWNLOAD_TMP_DIR=/arstmp
```
