Configuring the library server

Create a user that is a member of the database owner's group. This group has administrator authority for the database and the database file systems.

About this task

Give the Content Manager OnDemand instance owner the following authorities and permissions:
  • Administrator authority for the database. You can do this by adding the Content Manager OnDemand instance owner to the database owner's group.
  • Ownership of the cache storage file systems that are listed in the ARS.CACHE file. You can do this by running the Change Owner command for each file system that is listed in the ARS.CACHE file and specifying the user and group for the Content Manager OnDemand instance owner.
  • Permission to read the Content Manager OnDemand configuration files. Make sure that the Content Manager OnDemand instance owner has permission to read the following files:
    • ARS.CACHE
    • ARS.CFG
    • ARS.DBFS
    • ARS.INI
  • Permission to read and execute the Content Manager OnDemand script files. Make sure that the Content Manager OnDemand instance owner has permission to read and execute the following files:
    • ARSLOG
    • ARSPRT
  • Permission to write to the console. Make sure that the Content Manager OnDemand instance owner has permission to write to the system console.
Important: You cannot set the permissions to read and execute OnDemand files until you complete installation of the Content Manager OnDemand software. See Installing the Content Manager OnDemand software on Linux for instructions on installing the Content Manager OnDemand software on Linux®.

You should specify a different user for each instance that you create. This allows for easier error recovery if a system error occurs.
