IBM Content Manager Configuration Options

 

By Default, the Web Content Management application stores data files in a Cloudscape database. To change your Web Content Management data repository to an IBM Content Manager data repository, do one of the following:

 

Transferring data from an existing IBM Content Manager data repository

This option would normally be used when upgrading a Web Content Management application. To do this :

1. Install a new Web Content Management application.

2. Edit wpconfig.properties and run the command config-wcm-repository to configure your new Web Content Management application to use your current data repository.

3. Migrate your old Web Content Management data.

 

Transferring data from an existing JDBC data repository

1. Install a new Web Content Management application.

2. Create an IBM Content Manager database to use as a the Web Content Management data repository.

3. Edit wpconfig.properties and run the command config-wcm-repository to configure your new Web Content Management application to use the new Content Manager data repository.

4. Syndicate the data from the application using JDBC as a data repository to the application using Content Manager.

The Web Content Management application using JDBC must be the same version of Web Content Management that the application using IBM Content Manager as a data repository. If not, then first upgrade your Web Content Management application.

 

IBM Content Manager Requirements

• IBM Content Manager should be configured with Unicode support enabled.

• If using a remote Content Manager application as your data repository, have a Content Manager client installed on the server where Web Content Management is installed. refer to the IBM Content Manager Information Center for further information on Content Manager client requirements and installation.

 

Additional Properties

The following properties are optional and can be set in the aptrixjpe.properties file. add these parameters to aptrixjpe.properties as they are not included in aptrixjpe.properties by default.

cm.resources.server=[CM_RESOURCES_SERVER_NAME] cm.resources.username=[CM_RESOURCES_USERNAME] cm.resources.password=[CM_RESOURCES_PASSWORD] cm.resources.connectionString=[CM_RESOURCES_CONNECTION_STRING]	Optional Content Manager information. These default to Web Content Management metadata if not specified.
cm.resources.jpeServerIdentifier=[CM_JPE_RESOURCES_SERVER_ID]	Optional Web Content Management Resources Unique identifier for the site, defaults to cm.jpeServerIdentifier

cm.itemType=AJPEData cm.resources.itemType=AJPEResources	The name of the item type used for Web Content Management Data and Resources. Must be 15 characters or less

 

Adding a path to the JDBC driver in WebSphere

To set the class path, in the WebSphere Administration console go to:

• Servers->Application Servers-> WebSphere_Portal -> Process Definition-> Java Virtual Machine

• Add the full path to the IBM Content Manager program folder (usually named Cmgmt)

• Add the full path of the following jar files(including the name of the jar) to the Classpath field
  • cmb81.jar
  • cmbcm81.jar
  • cmbdb281.jar
  • cmbdj81.jar
  • cmbfed81.jar
  • cmbicm81.jar
  • cmbjdbc81.jar
  • cmblog4j81.jar
  • cmbsdk81.jar
  • cmbutil81.jar
  • cmbutilfed81.jar
  • cmbutilicm81.jar
  • cmbutiljdbc81.jar
  • cmbview81.jar
  • cmbwas81.jar
  • esclisrv.jar
  • essrv.jar
  • log4j.jar
  • xerces.jar

• Add the full path to db2java.zip (including db2java.zip) to the Classpath field.

 

Remote Server Installation

If your IBM Content Manager installation resides on a different server from the Web Content Management Application Server, then ensure the following have been performed on the Web Content Management Application Server:

• If using DB2 version 7.x, ensure that the DB2 JDBC level has been changed to "2".

• That the CM database on the IBM Content Manager Server has been configured in the DB2 Client Configuration Assistant.

• If using a remote Content Manager application as your data repository, have a Content Manager client installed on the server where Web Content Management is installed. refer to the IBM Content Manager Information Center for further information on Content Manager client requirements and installation.

 

Restart the Web Content Management Application

always restart the Web Content Management application after making any changes to aptrixjpe.properties or connect.cfg
