Product Documentation


Abstract

If you use IBM® Content Manager OnDemand as repository, you can view archived documents.

See Planning for secure viewing of IBM Content Manager OnDemand objects with IBM Content Navigator

About this task

In your basic instance configuration, you configured the logical IBM Content Manager OnDemand archives that contain the objects that are to be viewed.

To complete the configuration of your environment for viewing IBM Content Manager OnDemand objects with IBM Content Navigator, you must change the instance configuration.

For an overview of the document viewers that are supported by IBM Content Navigator and for information about how to configure the document viewers, see the IBM Content Navigator product documentation.

Procedure

1. In Configuration Feature, take these steps:

a. Open the instance configuration that you want to change.

b. Go to Logical Archives > Logical IBM Content Manager OnDemand Archive id.

c. Complete the Viewing with IBM Content Navigator section.

d. Repeat steps 1.b and 1.c for each logical archive that contains objects that are to be viewed with IBM Content Navigator.

Important: If you want to use a common user for viewing, ensure that the URL of IBM Content Navigator contains the fully qualified host name. In addition, the cookie domain must be equal to, or a subset of, this URL.
