2.2.2 Supported Platforms
2.2.3 Additional requirements for Linux and SolarisNote: On Linux and Solaris machines, LiveCycle installer uses
the JDK installed on the machine. Therefore, you must ensure to
install the supported JDK version. On other operating systems, the
installer uses the JVM bundled with the installer.
2.2.3.1 Installing and configuring UTF-8When installing LiveCycle on AIX, Linux, or Solaris operating
systems, you must install and configure the US English version of
UTF-8 locale if it is not already installed. You will need the install
media (CDs or DVDs) for the operating system to perform this task.
Note: On Linux platforms, this locale is installed by default and
is called en_US.utf8. It can be verified by using the locale -a command.
Installing UTF-8 on AIXVerify
the US English UTF-8 locale is not installed by typing locale -a in
a command prompt. Verify that the command output does not contain
the entry EN_US.UTF-8.
Access the AIX SMIT utility (in text mode) by typing smitty mle_add_lang at
the root in the command prompt.
On the screen that appears, select UTF-8 US English (United States) [EN_US] from
both the CULTURAL CONVENTION and LANGUAGE TRANSLATION drop-down
lists. Note: Keep the INPUT DEVICE/DIRECTORY as the default /dev/cd0
setting.
Press Enter to proceed. A message such as the following
will appear:
installp: Device /dev/cd0 not ready for operation.
Please insert media and press Enter to continue.
Insert the appropriate AIX install disk in the disk drive.
When the command is complete, exit the SMIT utility and type locale -a to
verify that EN_US.UTF-8 is set as the locale.
Installing UTF-8 on SolarisVerify the US English UTF-8 locale is not installed by typing locale -a in
a command prompt. Verify that the command output does not contain
the entry EN_US.UTF-8.
Insert the Solaris install CD #1 in the disk drive and mount
it to an appropriate location, for example:
/cdrom/sol_10_807_sparc/s0
Type the following command as root: localeadm -a nam -d /cdrom/sol_10_807_sparc/s0Note: This
command installs all locales in the North America (nam) region even
if you specify only the en_US.UTF-8 locale.
When the command is complete, type locale -a to
verify that EN_US.UTF-8 is set as the locale.
2.2.3.2 SolarisNote: Ensure that X Window libraries are installed
on your operating system. This is required for Adobe® LiveCycle®
PDF Generator 11 and Adobe® LiveCycle® Forms Standard 11. See the
documentation for your operating system for more information.
Important: Do not use the Solaris tar command
to extract files or errors (such as missing files) will occur. Download
the GNU tar tool and use it to extract all files on a Solaris environment.
2.2.3.3 LinuxOn Linux operating systems, ensure the following:
All Linux distributions: Ensure that X Window
libraries are installed on your operating system. This is required
for PDF Generator and Forms. See documentation for your operating
system for more information.
SUSE Linux: You must install the glibc-locale-32bit
library that ships with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server; otherwise,
LiveCycle will not generate PDF files. This library file is not
installed by default, you must use YaST to install it. (See the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server documentation for
details.)
If you plan to install LiveCycle on SUSE Linux
11, you must also install the libstdc++- libc6.2-2.so.3 libraries.
SUSE Linux 11 does not include these libraries by default. For more
information, see this Novell Web page. These libraries are
required for running Adobe Central Pro Output Server
2.2.3.4 Configuring the file limit values on Solaris and LinuxTo avoid StuckThread issues on a Solaris or Linux environment,
add or increase the rlim values in the /etc/system file.
(Linux) Locate and open the /etc/security/limits.conf
file.
(Solaris) Locate and open the /etc/system file.
(Linux) Add the following lines to the /etc/security/limits.conf
file:
<app_group> soft nofile 8192
<app_group> hard nofile 8192
Replace <app_group>
with the user group who will run the application server. You may
also replace <app_group> with
an asterisk (*) to match all users and user groups.
(Solaris)
Locate and modify the rlim values in the /etc/system
file as follows:
set rlim_fd_cur: The initial
(soft) maximum number of file descriptors per process. Set this
value to 8192 or more.
set rlim_fd_max: The
hard maximum number of file descriptors per process. Set this value
to 8192 or more. (This modification is required
only if the default value is lower than 8192). You must have super
user privileges to change this value.
Note: The rlim_fd_max value
must be equal to or greater than the rlim_fd_cur value.
Save and close the file.
Restart your computer.
Verify the updated settingsLaunch
a new shell.
Type ulimit -n and press Enter.
Verify the value returned matches the rlim values
you have set.
2.2.4 Privileges required to install on WindowsWhen installing on Windows, you must use an account that
has administrator privileges. If you run the installer using a non-administrator
account, enter the credentials of an account that has administrator
privileges. Turn off the UAC to run the installation and configuration
process.
2.2.5 Configuring Windows installationOn 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R1, Windows Server 2008 R2

2.2.6 Additional requirements for PDF GeneratorNote: You cannot use the Shared Printer Protocol
for the SendToPrinter API on Windows 2008 machines
that have PDF Generator deployed on them. Use alternate protocols
like CIFS or Direct IP.
2.2.6.1 User account for WindowsYou must use a user account with administrator privileges
for the following tasks:
Installing Microsoft Office
Installing PDF Generator
Installing Acrobat for PDF Generator
Running the application server process
Note: When you add a users for PDF Generator, grant the user running
the application server with the Replace a process level token privilege.
2.2.6.2 User account for Linux and SolarisYou must use a user account with administrator privileges
for the following tasks:
Note: When you add a users for PDF Generator, grant the user running
the application server with the Replace a process level token privilege.
2.2.6.3 Using 64-bit application servers with PDF GeneratorIf you are using a 64-bit application server on a system
with PDF Generator, ensure that a 32-bit Java 6 JDK is installed
in addition to the 64-bit one the application server uses. Set
the environment variable JAVA_HOME_32. This variable is
required to point to a 32-bit JDK on systems where a 64-bit application
server is in use. The specific path varies based on the installation
directory you specified and the operating system you are installing
on.
Note: You need to install the 32-bit Sun JDK and configure JAVA_HOME_32 to
point to the directory where it resides. Review Sun Java 6 Release
Notes > Supported System Configurations and download the 32-bit
version for your operating system. However, if you are using AIX,
do not set JAVA_HOME_32.
Important: Ensure that JAVA_HOME_32 is
set only as an environment variable and is not included in the PATH.
If JAVA_HOME_32 is included in the PATH, Java core dumps may appear during EAR deployment or when you restart the server.
2.2.6.3.1 Set the Windows JAVA_HOME_32 variableSelect Start > Control Panel > System.
Click the Advanced System Settings tab.
Click Environment Variables and, under System Variables,
click New.
Enter the environment variable JAVA_HOME_32.
This value is the directory that contains the JDK. For example,
type the following: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_31
2.2.6.3.2 Set the JAVA_HOME_32 variable on Linux or SolarisSet the JAVA_HOME_32 variable for the supported JDK for
Bourne and Bash shells as shown in this example:
JAVA_HOME_32=/opt/jdk1.6.0_31
export JAVA_HOME_32
2.2.6.4 Native file conversion software installationBefore you install PDF Generator, install the software
that supports the file formats for which PDF conversion support
is required and manually activate the licenses for the software
using the user account that is used for running the application
server process.
Refer to the individual licensing agreement for each native application
that your LiveCycle deployment will support, and ensure that your
LiveCycle deployment meets the licensing requirements specified.
Typically, each LiveCycle user who will use native application support
must also have an activated license on their own computer for the
native application.
PDF Generator can be extended to convert these additional file
types to PDF files by using the following applications:
Note: PDF Generator supports only English, French, German, and Japanese
versions of the supported applications.
Microsoft Office 2007, 2010 (DOC,DOCX XLS,XLSX PPT,PPTX,
RTF, TXT)
Microsoft Office Visio 2007, 2010 (VSD)
Microsoft Publisher 2007, 2010 (PUB)
Microsoft Project 2007, 2010 (MPP)
AutoCAD files (DWG, DWF) converted through Acrobat
Corel WordPerfect X4 (WPD)(English only)
Adobe FrameMaker® 8.0 (FM)
Adobe PageMaker® 7.0 (PMD, PM6, P65,
PM)
OpenOffice 3.3 (ODT, ODP, ODS, ODG, ODF, SXW, SXI, SXC, SXD,
SXM)
Paper Specification document (XPS) converted through Acrobat
Note: LiveCycle supports only 32-bit editions of all the above mentioned
software.
Note: OpenOffice 3.3 or later must be installed on
the server to convert the documents created in version 3.3.
Note: On Linux platform, OpenOffice must be installed under /root user.
If OpenOffice is installed for specific users, PDFG might not be
able to convert OpenOffice documents.
Note: LiveCycle PDF Generator does not support DWF and DWG files
created with AutoCAD 2013.
Note: Do not use these software applications on the server. Using
these can lead to failed PDF Generator conversions.
You do not need to install a native software application to convert
the following native file formats:
Print files (PS, PRN, EPS)
Web files (HTML)
Image files (JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, PNG)
Flash videos (SWF, FLV)XML
2.2.6.5 Installing Acrobat for PDF GeneratorInstall Acrobat XI Pro before running the LiveCycle installer.
Ensure that you launch Acrobat at least once after installing it
to avoid PDF Generator configuration issues. Dismiss all modal dialog
boxes that appear on launching Acrobat. Note: Ensure that Acrobat
is installed using the same user account that you will use to install
LiveCycle.
However, if LiveCycle is installed and Acrobat XI Pro is not
installed, install Acrobat XI Pro and then run the Acrobat_for_PDFG_Configuration.bat
script, located in the folder [LiveCycle root]\pdfg_config.
Otherwise, PDF conversions will fail.
The Configuration Manager sets the Acrobat_PATH (case-sensitive)
environment variable automatically. You can also choose to set it
manually, see 2.2.6.8 Setting environment variables. Restart your application server after setting
the environment variable.
Note: Depending on the JDK that you use, download
the required JAR files from either Sun or IBM website.
2.2.6.6 Configure Acrobat to use SHX fonts (Windows only)Note: Perform these steps to configure Acrobat if you want
PDF Generator to use SHX fonts to convert AutoCAD DWG files without
installing AutoCAD. Also, these steps need to be performed for all
user accounts configured in Administration Console.
Open Acrobat.
Select Edit > Configurations.
Select Convert to PDF > Autodesk AutoCAD.
Click Edit Settings.
Click Configuration Preferences.
Click Browse next to the SHX Font File Search Path
and specify the path to the SHX font file.
Click OK on each opened dialog.
2.2.6.7 QuickTime 7PDF Generator requires that QuickTime 7 (Player or Pro)
be installed if you want to convert video embedded in files, such
as PowerPoint presentations to PDF multimedia files. This application
is available from the Apple Downloads site.
2.2.6.8 Setting environment variablesYou must set the environment variables in Windows
if you plan to create PDF documents from applications such as FrameMaker,
Photoshop, PageMaker, and WordPerfect.
The names of these environment variables are listed here:
FrameMaker_PATH
Notepad_PATH
OpenOffice_PATH
PageMaker_PATH
WordPerfect_PATH
Acrobat_PATH
These environment variables are optional and need to be set only
if you plan to use the corresponding application to convert PDF
files through PDF Generator. The value of the environment variable
should contain the absolute path of the executable that is used
to start the corresponding application.
For example, the variable FrameMaker_PATH may
contain the value C:\Program Files\Adobe\ FrameMaker7.2\FrameMaker.exe. However, OpenOffice_PATH is
different from others. This variable must be set to the OpenOffice
installation folder (instead of the path to the executable). A typical
value of OpenOffice_PATH on Windows would be C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice.org 3.
Paths for Microsoft Office applications such as Word, PowerPoint,
Excel, Visio, Publisher, and Project or for AutoCAD are not required.
The Generate PDF service starts these applications automatically
if they are installed on the server.
To set the Windows environment variablesSelect Start > Control Panel > System.
Click the Advanced System Settings tab.
Click Environment Variables and, under System Variables,
click New.
Enter the environment variable name you need to set
(for example , FrameMaker_PATH). This value
is the directory that contains the executable file. For example,
type the following: C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker7.2\FrameMaker.exe
2.2.6.9 Configuring PDF Generator on a Remote MachineIn case of a cluster, LiveCycle is installed only on one
machine. Perform the following steps to configure PDF Generator
on other machines in the cluster:
On the remote machine, if an earlier version of Acrobat
is installed, uninstall it by using Add or Remove Programs in the
Windows Control Panel.
Install Acrobat XI Pro by running the installer.
From the machine where LiveCycle is installed, copy pdfg_config and plugins folders
to the remote machine under any directory.
On the remote machine, open /pdfg_config/ Acrobat_for_PDFG_Configuration.bat
file for editing.
Locate and comment the goto locationerror line.
Before
After
Save and close the Acrobat_for_PDFG_Configuration.bat file.
Open the command prompt and run the following command:
Acrobat_for_PDFG_Configuration.bat <Path of the pdfg_Configuration folder>
2.2.6.10 Service Control Manager command line toolBefore you complete an automatic installation of PDF Generator
on Windows, ensure that the Service Control Manager command line
tool, sc.exe, is installed in the Windows environment. Some Windows
servers do not have this software preinstalled. By default, the
sc.exe file is installed in the C:\Windows\system32 directory. Most
OS installations have this tool installed. If you do not have the
tool installed, it is available in the Windows Resource Kit for
your specific version of Windows. To confirm that the tool is installed
on your server, type sc.exe from a command prompt.
The tools usage is returned.
Note: The LiveCycle must be running as Windows service for the PDF
Generator to work properly.
2.2.6.11 Headless mode configurationIf you are running PDF Generator in a headless mode environment
(that is, on a server without a monitor, keyboard, or mouse), the
x11 libraries must be installed. Some flavors of Linux do not install
these libraries by default; therefore, you must obtain the libraries
and install them manually. Note: Activating x11 forwarding on a shell
session causes the SOAP UI to create UI elements during SOAP requests,
leading to request failures. To avoid request failures, you must
add the -Djava.awt.headless=true JVM argument.
2.2.6.12 Enabling multi-threaded file conversions and multi-user support for PDF GeneratorBy default, PDF Generator can convert only one OpenOffice,
Microsoft Word, or PowerPoint document at a time. If you enable
multi-threaded conversions, PDF Generator can convert more than
one of the documents concurrently by launching multiple instances
of OpenOffice or PDFMaker (which is used to perform the Word and
PowerPoint conversions).
Note: Multi-threaded file conversions (through Microsoft
Office) are only supported for Microsoft Word 2007 or 2010 and PowerPoint
2007 or 2010.
Note: Microsoft Excel, Publisher, Project, and Visio files are not
converted simultaneously. During conversion, EXCEL.exe, PUBLISHER.exe,
PROJECT.exe, and VISIO.exe are watched in the task manager. The
Visio file is processed only after processing the Excel file is
complete.
Each instance of OpenOffice or PDFMaker is launched using a separate
user account. Each user account that you add must be a valid user
with administrative privileges on the LiveCycle Server computer.
For more information, see 2.2.5 Configuring Windows installation
After your LiveCycle Server is configured, add LiveCycle user
accounts in Administration Console. See the User accounts for multi-threaded
file conversions section in the LiveCycle installation guide for
your application server. To enable multiuser support for native
files and OpenOffice files on a Windows environment, add a minimum
of three users with the following permissions.
When you add users for PDF Generator native conversions, grant
the user running the application server with the Replace a process
level token privilege.For more information, see 2.2.6.14 Granting the Replace a process level token privilege (Windows only)
Dismiss initial dialogs and disable automatic updates for native applicationsConverting native files from PDF
Generator requires dismissing any initial registration, activation,
and Improvement program dialogs with the option to not show them
again. Automatic updates for these applications also needs to be disabled
as these update dialogs can cause failures on a running server.
The
dialogs and automatic update need to be disabled for the user running
the server and all user accounts configured under PDFG Accounts
for multi-user support. The dialogs need to be dismissed for the
following applications if installed on the server:
Microsoft Word (Windows)
Microsoft Excel (Windows)
Microsoft PowerPoint (Windows)
Microsoft Project (Windows)
Microsoft Publisher (Windows)
Microsoft Visio (Windows)
OpenOffice (Windows/ Solaris / Linux)
Adobe Acrobat (Windows)
Adobe FrameMaker (Windows)
Adobe PageMaker (Windows)
Autodesk AutoCAD (Windows)
Corel WordPerfect (Windows)
Note: Ensure that
you launch Adobe Acrobat Distiller at least once for all the PDFG user
accounts configured on the server.
Disable error reporting on Windows Server 2008 (Optional but recommended)While converting a document to PDF using
PDF Generator on Windows Server 2008, Windows may report that the
executable has encoutered a problem and needs to close. However,
it does not impact the PDF conversion as it continues in the background.
To
avoid receiving the error, you can disable the Windows error reporting.
For more information on disabling error reporting, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754364.aspx.
Additional configuration required for OpenOffice on Linux or SolarisAdd entries for additional
users (other than the administrator who runs the LiveCycle Server)
in the /etc/sudoers file. For example, if you are running LiveCycle
as a user named lcadm and a server named myhost, and you want to impersonate
user1 and user2, add the following entries to /etc/sudoers:
lcadm myhost=(user1) NOPASSWD: ALL
lcadm myhost=(user2) NOPASSWD: ALL
This
configuration enables lcadm to run any command on host ‘myhost’
as ‘user1’ or ‘user2’ without prompting for password.
Allow all the LiveCycle users to make connections to the
LiveCycle Server. For example, to allow a local user named user1
the permission of making the connection to the LiveCycle Server,
use the following command:
xhost +local:user1@
Ensure
that the session with which the application server started should
not get closed.
For more details, refer to xhost command
documentation.
Restart the server.
2.2.6.13 Multi-user support for PDF GeneratorTo enable multi-user support for native files and OpenOffice
files on a Windows environment, a minimum of three users with the
following permissions must be added. On a Linux or Solaris platform,
create at least one user.
Platform
|
User permissions
|
Windows 2008 Server
|
Users with administrative privileges,
Read/write
permission on LiveCycle temporary directory, PDF Generator temporary
directory and application server installation directory.
|
Linux and Solaris
|
Users with sudo privileges
Read/write
permission on LiveCycle temporary directory, PDF Generator temporary
directory, and application server installation directory.
|
When you add users for PDF Generator native conversions, you
must grant the user running the application server with the Replace a process level token privilege.
See 2.2.6.14 Granting the Replace a process level token privilege (Windows only).
2.2.6.14 Granting the Replace a process level token privilege (Windows only)User account that are used to start the application server
should be part of the local administrators group and requires the Replace a process level token privilege. To
provide Replace a process level token privilege:
Click Start > Run, and then type gpedit.msc.
On the Group Policy dialog box, select Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment, and
double click Replace a process level token.
Click Add User or Group, add the Windows user account
that is used to open the command prompt from which the application
server is started.
Restart Windows, and then start the application server.
2.2.6.15 Symbolic link on Linux platformTo substitute required fonts in a HTML-to-PDF conversion
on the Linux platform, PDF Generator creates a symbolic link that
point to the /usr/share/X11/fonts directory.
Sometimes the user running the application server might not possess
permissions that are necessary to create a symbolic link. On such
systems; create a symbolic link /usr/lib/X11/fonts that
point to the /usr/share/X11/fonts directory.
2.2.6.16 Symbolic link on Solaris 11 platformIn Solaris 11 some of the fonts required for HTML to PDF
conversion are moved from /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts location
to /usr/share/fonts location. To allow PDF Generator
to access these fonts, create a symbolic link at /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts,
referring to /usr/share/fonts location. To perform
HTML-to-PDF conversion on Solaris 11 platform, do the following:
Open the Terminal Window
Run the following command:
ln -s /usr/share/fonts /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/usr_share_fonts
2.2.6.17 Additional requirement for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R22.2.6.18 Additional requirements for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL6)PDF Generator requires additional RPM packages and fonts

2.2.6.19 Configuring user accounts for multi-threaded file conversionsBy default, PDF Generator can convert only one OpenOffice,
Microsoft Word, or PowerPoint document at a time. If you enable
multi-threaded conversions, PDF Generator can convert more than
one of the documents concurrently by launching multiple instances
of OpenOffice or PDFMaker (which is used to perform the Word and
PowerPoint conversions).
Note: Only Microsoft Word 2007 and Microsoft PowerPoint
2007 are supported with multi-threaded file conversions. Microsoft
Excel 2003 or 2007 versions are not supported.
If you need to enable multi-threaded file conversion, you must
first perform the tasks outlined in the “Enabling multi-threaded
file conversions” section of the Preparing to Install or Upgrade
guide available on the LiveCycle documentation.
For Linux and Solaris users, you must create users and configure
the system to remove the password prompts. The following section
outlines the method to create a user and perform additional configurations.
2.2.6.19.1 Add user accountIn Administration Console, click Services > LiveCycle PDF Generator 11 > User Accounts.
Click Add and enter the user name and password of
a user who has administrative privileges on the LiveCycle Server.
If you are configuring users for OpenOffice, dismiss the initial
OpenOffice activation dialogs.
Note: If you are
configuring users for OpenOffice, the number of instances of OpenOffice
cannot be greater than number of user accounts specified in this
step.
Restart the LiveCycle Server.
2.2.6.19.2 Additional configuration required for OpenOffice on Linux or SolarisAdd user accounts as described above.
Add entries for additional users (other than the administrator
who runs the LiveCycle Server in the /etc/sudoers file.
For example, if you are running LiveCycle as a user named lcadm on
a server named myhost, and you want to impersonate
user1 and user2, add the following entries to /etc/sudoers: lcadm myhost=(user1) NOPASSWD: ALL
lcadm myhost=(user2) NOPASSWD: ALL
This configuration
enables lcadm to run any command on host ‘myhost’
as ‘user1’ or ‘user2’ without prompting for password.
Allow all the users that you added via Add a user account
to make connections to the LiveCycle Server. For example, to allow
a local user named user1 the permission of making the connection
to the LiveCycle Server, use the following command:
For
more details, refer to xhost command documentation.
Enable requiretty in the /etc/sudoers file.
Restart the server.
Note: Ensure the session with which
the application server is started, is kept open. On closing the
session some conversions may fail intermittently.
2.2.7 Additional requirements for Connector for DocumentumIf LiveCycle is connecting to Documentum, you must install
Document Foundation Classes on machine hosting LiveCycle.
2.2.8 Additional requirements for Connector for IBM Content ManagerAdobe®

default DB2 Content Manager port number is 50000.
In the Database Name box, type the IBM Content Manager
datastore name and, in the Database Alias box, type the alias
name for the datastore and then click Next.
Click Next to accept the default data source settings.
In the Operating System list, select the operating
system you are using and then click Next.
Specify the following system options and then click Next:
In the System Name box, type the server name hosting
DB2. If you click Discover, DB2 Content Manager searches for the
system name you specified and, if the system is not found, all of
the DB2 instances are listed.
In the Host Name box, type the name of the host, or
click View Details to show the domain and IP address of the system
you named in the previous step.
In the Operating System list, select the operating
system (Windows, Linux, or AIX) on which you deployed DB2 Content
Manager.
(Optional) To specify Security options, select Use Authentication Value in Server’s DBM Configuration and
click Finish.
In the Test Connection dialog box, test the connection as
required.
2.2.8.2 Configure connections for multiple IBM Content Manager datastoresConfigure the initial connection by following the
steps in 2.2.8.1 Configure the connection for a single IBM Content Manager datastore.
Add additional database connections by modifying the cmbicmsrvs.ini
file (the file that stores the datastore information) as follows:
From a command prompt window, change the directory to [II4C home]/bin (for
example, C:\Program Files\db2cmv8\ on Windows or /opt/IBM/db2cmv8
on AIX, Linux, or Solaris).
Run the cmbenv81.bat (Windows) or cmbenv81.sh (AIX, Linux,
or Solaris) file to set the environment and the classpath for the
Java Utilities of II4C.
Change the directory to [II4C working directory]/cmgmt/connectors
where [II4C working directory] is one of the following paths:
(Windows)
C:/Program Files/db2cmv8
(Linux, AIX) /home/ibmcmadm
(Solaris)
/export/home/ibmcmadm
Run the command
java com.ibm.mm.sdk.util.cmbsrvsicm -a add -s <library server database name> -sm <database schema name>
where <library server database name> is
the same as Database Alias configured in step 6
above.
Note: The following procedure
allows users without DB2 rights to share the connection credentials
through the cmbicmenv.ini file.
2.2.8.3 Configure a multiuser connection to the IBM Content Manager datastoreFrom a command prompt window, change the directory
to [II4C home]/bin (for example, C:\Program Files\db2cmv8\
on Windows or /opt/IBM/db2cmv8 on AIX, Linux, or Solaris).
Run the cmbenv81.bat (Windows) or cmbenv81.sh (AIX, Linux,
