Content Manager OnDemand Guide

This IBM Redbooks publication covers a variety of topics relating to the practical application of Content Manager OnDemand (simply referred to as "OnDemand") for Multiplatforms Version 8.3 (also known as Version 7.1.2.5), z/OS Version 7.1, and IBM eServer iSeries Common Server Version 5.3 of the OnDemand product. Where necessary, separate sections are included to cover variations between the different platforms.

This IBM Redbooks publication provides helpful, practical advice, hints, and tips for those involved in the design, installation, configuration, system administration, and tuning of an OnDemand system. It covers key areas that are either not well known to the OnDemand community or are misunderstood.

We reviewed all aspects of the OnDemand topics. Among these topics, which we present in this IBM Redbooks publication, are administration, database structure, multiple instances, storage management, performance, PDF indexing, OnDemand Web Enablement Kit, data conversion, report distribution, exits, and iSeries Common Server migration.

Because a number of other sources are available that address various subjects on different platforms, this IBM Redbooks publication is not intended as a comprehensive guide for OnDemand.

We step beyond the existing OnDemand documentation to provide insight into the issues that might be encountered in the setup and use of OnDemand.
