Using the h and I parameters

About this task

The Content Manager OnDemand programs use the -h and -I parameters to determine the name of the Content Manager OnDemand instance to process. You must specify the parameter and name the instance if any of the following are true:
  • The name of the default instance is archive and you are using a port number other than the default port number (1445).
  • The name of the default instance is not archive.
  • You are running more than one instance on the same workstation and you want to process an instance other than the default instance.
  • You are running the program from an object server that resides on a different system or node than the library server.

The Content Manager OnDemand programs locate the specified instance name in the ARS.INI file to determine the TCP/IP address, host name alias, or fully-qualified host name of the system on which the Content Manager OnDemand library server is running and other information about the instance. The ARSADMIN, ARSDOC, and ARSLOAD programs support the -h parameter. The ARSDB, ARSLOAD, ARSMAINT, and ARSTBLSP programs support the -I parameter. For the ARSLOAD program, if both the -h and -I parameters are specified, the value of the last parameter specified is used.
