Using the administration client

To use the OnDemand Administrator client to administer the ODF objects needed for your distributions, follow the instructions in this section.

About this task

The OnDemand Administrator client provides a GUI interface to add, update, export, and delete ODF objects. See the OnDemand Administrator client online help for details about the fields on each GUI client panel.

Procedure

To start the OnDemand Administrator client:

  1. Click Start > IBM OnDemand Clients V10.5 > OnDemand Administrator V10.5.
  2. If you do not already have a server, follow the instructions in the online help to add a server and ensure that ODF is available on that server.
  3. Double-click the name of your server to open the Logon dialog box.
  4. Enter your user ID and password for your Content Manager OnDemand server.
  5. Expand OnDemand Distribution Facility to see the ODF objects.
  6. Create your ODF objects as needed. For example, to create a recipient, use one of the following methods:
    • Click Recipients in the navigator pane of the window and then select File > New Recipient.
    • Click Recipients in the navigator pane of the window and then right-click and select New Recipient.
    • Point to an existing ODF recipient, right-click and select Copy.
  7. If you need to create a report bundle, use one of these methods instead:
    • Create a report bundle.
      1. Display a list of Distributions in the list pane.
      2. Right-click the Recipient/List name of the distribution where you want to add the report bundle and select Add Report Bundle. The Add a Report Bundle dialog is displayed. You cannot modify the Distribution Name and Recipient/List because you are adding the report bundle to the distribution identified by the Distribution Name and Recipient/List.
    • Copy an existing report bundle.
      1. Display a list of Report Bundles in the list pane.
      2. Right-click the Recipient/List name of the source report bundle and select Copy. The Add a Report Bundle dialog is displayed. The values from the source report bundle are used as the default values for the new report bundle. The sequence number is changed because it is used to uniquely identify the report bundle within the distribution.
