InfoSphere Enterprise Records, Version 4.5.1.3+              

Configuring IBM InfoSphere Enterprise Records object stores

After you have created or selected your object stores, you must configure them to be used with IBM® InfoSphere™ Enterprise Records. The configuration consists of two parts: selecting the object store type for each object store, and applying the data model to each object store. After these initial configuration steps, then you can set the security for the object stores.

If this is the first log in after you have installed InfoSphere Enterprise Records, the application displays the Configure Object Store page for the initial configuration tasks. Select the object store that you want to configure.

To see the object stores, you must be an object store administrator.

To configure an object store for IBM InfoSphere Enterprise Records:

  1. Log in to InfoSphere Enterprise Records as a Records Administrator for the object store that you want to configure.
  2. Select the Configure tab. The screen displays all object stores that have been configured for InfoSphere Enterprise Records.
  3. Click Object Store Configuration, and then click Configure Object Store in the top panel. The Select Object Store page displays all available object stores that are not configured or need to be upgraded for InfoSphere Enterprise Records.
  4. Select the object store that you want to configure. From the Object Store Type list, choose the type of object store that you want to configure:
    Option Description
    FPOS To configure a file plan object store.
    ROS To configure a records object store.
    FPOS and ROS To configure a combined file plan object store and a records object store. Provides core records management functionality and properties.
  5. Select the data model that you want to apply to the object store:
    Option Description
    Base Provides core records management functionality and properties. The Base data model is sufficient for meeting most records management requirements and is the recommended model. However, it does not adhere to either the DoD, DoD Classified, or PRO standards.
    Department of Defense (DoD) Includes the properties required by version 2 of the DoD standard (DoD 5015.2).
    Department of Defense Classified (DoD Classified) Includes the properties required by version 2 of the DoD Classified standard (DoD 5015.2) for managing classified records.
    Public Records Office (PRO) Includes the properties required by the PRO 2002 standard. The PRO data model might not be supported in subsequent releases of InfoSphere Enterprise Records.

    After choosing the object store type, a number of additional selections display, depending on the object store type. Of these, the data model selection must be set at this time, while the other can be set at a later date. If you plan to set them later, select No in each list to defer the configuration.

  6. Wait until the confirmation message displays to indicate that the object stores were configured successfully. If you want to assign the security roles now, click Set Security in the confirmation message. You can run the security script wizard later if you want, but you cannot use the object stores until the security roles have been assigned.
