Planning for configuring IBM Content Navigator

Procedure

  1. Copy the JAR files that were installed with the base package and that are in the following directory:
    • LinuxUNIX InstallHome/navigator_plugins
    • Windows InstallHome\navigator_plugins
  2. Paste the JAR files to the web application server where IBM Content Navigator is installed, as follows:
    1. Paste the iccsapPlugin.jar file to a directory of your choice.
      Ensure that IBM Content Navigator can access this file during run time.
    2. Paste the iccsapTasks.jar file to the following directory:
      • LinuxUNIX profiles/profilename/installedApps/cellname/navigator.ear/taskManagerWeb.war/WEB-INF/dropins
      • Windows profiles\profilename\installedApps\cellname\navigator.ear\taskManagerWeb.war\WEB-INF\dropins
  3. Open a web browser and then open IBM Content Navigator in administration view by typing the following URL:
    protocol://hostname:portnumber/context_root/?desktop=admin
    For example, type:
    https://myserver.com:9443/navigator/?desktop=admin
  4. Log on as IBM Content Navigator administrator.
  5. Load the Content Collector for SAP plug-in:
    1. In the navigation pane on the left, click Plug-ins.
    2. On the Plug-ins page, click New Plug-in.
    3. In the JAR file path field of the New Plug-in page, type the fully qualified path to the iccsapPlugin.jar file and then click Load.
    4. Optional: From the Trace level list, select the trace level that you need.
      By default, Error is selected.

      The tracing information is written to the console of your web application server. On IBM WebSphere® Application Server, for example, the console output is redirected to the SystemOut.log file in the WAS_profile_location/logs/server directory.

    5. Click Save and Close.
