Library server

The library server is a Content Manager OnDemand instance. An instance is a logical server environment consisting of a server using its own database and cache storage. Each Content Manager OnDemand instance (the server, database and cache storage) has the following features:

  • Has its own folders, application groups, applications, users, groups, storage sets, printers, holds, and cabinets
  • Must run in a single code page
  • Has different security (users, groups, folder, application group, hold and cabinet permissions)
  • Must have its name specified on commands if it is not the default instance
  • Has its own system log

The following are some reasons that you might have multiple instances on the same system:

  • To have different test and production environments
  • To have databases that use different code pages
