Using the administrative client

This section contains information about the administrative client, a program that you can use to define and maintain Content Manager OnDemand objects on a Content Manager OnDemand system. For example, you can use the administrative client to define reports to Content Manager OnDemand and maintain Content Manager OnDemand users, groups, printers, and storage sets.

This section describes a typical system, including requirements about users of the system and data to be loaded on the system, and contains examples and ideas about how to use the administrative client to implement the requirements. In it you'll find:

An introduction to the administrative client
Advice about what is required to get your work done
Pointers to detailed how-to information in the online Help

The information provided in this part gives you a frame of reference. If you need more information, the book tells you where to look in the online Help. If you can't find answers to your questions, the book tells you how to contact IBM®. This part is organized in roughly the order that you define your first report to Content Manager OnDemand: it starts with adding users and groups to the system, shows how to define a printer, and then moves into procedures for adding a storage set and defining a primary storage node. Later chapters provide detailed instructions about defining a report: adding an application group, an application, and a folder.

Note: IBM assumes that you are familiar with the Windows operating environment and using applications that run under Windows. IBM assumes that you know how to start programs, use a pointing device, such as a mouse, and that you are familiar with terminology, such as window, dialog box, entry field, button, scroll bar, list, and check box.
