Configuring a remote instance on a Windows server

You can configure a remote instance of Content Manager OnDemand on a Windows server.

Procedure

To configure a remote instance on the local Content Manager OnDemand server:

  1. Open the Content Manager OnDemand Configurator V10.5 on the local Windows server. Select OnDemand Configurator V10.5 > File > New Remote Instance.
  2. On the Instance page, type a remote instance name, for example rodinst. The name should point to the remote library server. Type the Library Server Name with the hostname, alias, or IP address. Accept or change the path name for the temporary file path. Click Next.
  3. On the Server Communications page, type the port number of the remote instance on the remote library server. The port number can be found in the ars.ini file on the remote server. Click Next.
  4. On the Load page, specify the Content Manager OnDemand login ID and password for the Load service. Specify one or more directories to be used by the load service. Click Next.
  5. On the Distribution page, specify the Content Manager OnDemand login ID and password for the Content Manager OnDemand Distribution (ODF) service. Specify the number of print tasks, a working directory, output file location, the SMTP server name or IP address and sleep time intervals. Click Finish.

Results

After a remote instance is configured on a Windows system, you can run the Content Manager OnDemand server programs (such ARSDOC and ARSLOAD) on the remote instance by issuing a command on Windows.
