Library server

The Content Manager OnDemand library server uses a relational database manager to manage objects and provide data integrity by maintaining index information and controlling access to objects stored on one or more object servers.

Library servers run on AIX, Linux®, and Windows servers, and can use IBM® Db2 Universal Database, Microsoft SQL Server (on Windows servers), or Oracle to manage the library contents. A Content Manager OnDemand system has one library server.

The library server directs requests from clients to query, retrieve, and print items in the database, which contains object indexes and other information. The library server routes requests to the appropriate object server to store, retrieve, and delete objects.
