Configuring the System Administration Client for IBM Content Manager for Multiplatforms

This is a quick procedure for configuring the system admin client for ICM on your Windows desktop, with the Library Server on a different AIX (or other OS) host system:

First make sure, both the DB2 run-time Client and Content Manager for Multiplatforms software are installed on your desktop. There is no need to install a library server and/or resource manager during ICM installation.

Use the Server Configuration Utility, to configure the server to connect to:

Server type: Content Manager
Server name: [the name of your library server, usually ICMNLSDB]
Schema name: ICMADMIN
Host name: [The (FQDN) hostname of the server where the db2 database is active]
Operating System: [The operating system on which the db2 database is active]
Port number: [check your host system and lookup the port for db2c_db2inst1, usually 50000]
Remote database name: [Usually ICMNLSDB]
Nodename: [the short hostname]
Security options: Server authentication (leave all other fields blank)
Press Apply and quit the Server Configuration Utility. Start up the System Administration client and login with user icmadmin.
