Using the CS Web Admin Configure Tool

Previous releases of the Web Admin tool required either IDM Desktop or Web Services to be installed on the web server. This requirement was necessary so an administrator could use the IDM Configure application to set up the libraries that would appear in the dropdown list in the logon dialog. This new application, CS Web Admin Configure, is now used for this purpose. Installing Desktop or Web Services is no longer required. This application stores library information in the system registry on the web server. The user is responsible for setting up the database connections to the libraries.

From the CS Web Admin Configure Tool, you can:

Adding a library

Note After adding a library and setting up a system DSN for the library's host machine, you will be able to select the library the CS Web Explorer's Content Services Logon dialog box.

To add a library:

  1. From the Start menu, choose Programs>FileNet IDM>CS Web Admin Configure.
  2. Click Add.
  3. Identify the library by entering the Library name and Service information.
    • Library name - a unique label that identifies the library.
    • System - Enter the library's system name. (The system name is case-sensitive for Oracle.)
    • Host Machine - enter the name of the property server. (The host machine name is case-sensitive for Oracle.)
  4. Click OK and then click Close to exit the CS Web Admin Configure tool.

Note Before you can access a CS system that you added with CS Web Admin Configure tool, a System DSN entry must be added to the ODBC Data Source Administration Control Panel. Refer to the FileNet Software Patch readme (available with software patch CS-5.2.0-002 and later) for instructions.
