Configuring the content management system

You use the content_management_system_config.xml file to configure the content management system, and to define the connection that the IBM® Content Integrator uses to connect to the repository.

Before you begin

You must install and configure IBM Content Integrator before you configure the content management system. For more information about installing and configuring IBM Content Integrator, see: IBM Content Integrator product documentation.
