 | Version 8.4 enhancements - Web-based system administration client
The Web-based system administration client enables a subset of many common functions to be performed via a Web-based browser client. This client allows you to add, view, update, and delete users, groups, applications, application groups, folders, printers, and storage sets.
Supported under Internet Explorer 6.0.1, Internet Explorer 7.0, or Mozilla Firefox 2.0, this client allows greater administration capabilities in a decentralized environment, reducing the need for a large workstation footprint and extended OnDemand administration skills in user departments. - Exploitation of 64-bit enabled space on Linux, AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris platforms, leading to increased performance
- Native Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) support on the Content Manager OnDemand server
The LDAP is an open industry standard that has evolved to share information between distributed applications on the same network, organize information clearly and consistently, and prevent unauthorized modification or disclosure of private information. In recent years, LDAP has gained wide acceptance as the directory access method of the Internet, and becomes strategic within corporate intranets. Starting with V8.4, you can use LDAP to manage basic login authentication directly on the server. - Cabinet support
Cabinet support allows users to organize folders into electronic cabinets, simplifying navigation through the folder structure. A cabinet can contain any number of folders and a folder can belong to none, one, or more cabinets. This function is exposed through the administration client and the Windows™ client. The following operations are available through the cabinet view: Add, Update, Delete, Copy, Export, Summarize, Properties, Find, and Explore. - Global annotations
Content Manager OnDemand now allows you to decide whether public, private, and group annotations can be created at the system level. If you have the correct permission, you can also determine which type of annotation to use as the default. - Additional usability enhancements:
- Multi-character predictive search
- Export to file
- User-specified separator for Copy to Clipboard
- Filename indexing
- Enhancements to system log utility
- Event-based expiration for data in Tivoli® Storage Manager
In Content Manager OnDemand, the data retention protection (DRP) protocol prevents Tivoli Storage Manager from explicitly deleting data but allows it to expire data. V8.4 introduces a new expiration type, event-based expiration. Under the event-based expiration, Tivoli Storage Manager holds items forever until an event activates the creation-based expiration parameters. After the expiration parameters are activated, they determine how long an object exists until Tivoli Storage Manager deletes the object. - Ability to change the life of cached data retroactively
Before V8.4, when you changed the cache data value in the administrative client, the change affected data subsequently loaded, and not data that is already in the cache. Starting with V8.4, the cache data value setting expires all data for the application after the indicated number of days regardless of when the data is loaded. - Server-based sorting
In V8.4, Content Manager OnDemand allows you to sort the document hit lists on the server before the document hit lists are returned to the Content Manager OnDemand client. You can specify server-based sorting in the Folder permissions options window in the administrative client. - Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) compliant
Content Manager OnDemand V8.4 is IPv6 compliant. IPv6 is the next version of the network protocols that are used across the Internet. IPv6 provides greater network deployment flexibility, a much expanded address space, authentication, and privacy. Many countries are moving quickly to deploy IPv6. The U.S. Federal Government has mandated the procurement of IPv6-enabled products and is working toward a transition to IPv6 between 2008 and 2010. - Also shipping with Content Manager OnDemand for Multiplatforms V8.4
Available to Content Manger OnDemand customers, the IBM Web Interface for Content Management allows users to access documents from the IBM Content Manager OnDemand repository with any supported Web browser. It is designed as an out-of-the-box, easy.It is designed as an out-of-the-box, easy-to-use, highly interactive Web Client that employs open standards and supports Web 2.0 and AJAX technologies. It is well suited for both local and remote users who are familiar with the point-and-click capabilities of a Web interface.
