Before you run ArkManager for the first time, you must manually configure the mandatory Novell eDirectory™ authentication information for ArkManager and the MySQL database authentication information for ArkSQL in the sys:\arkManager\arkConfig.xml file.
The sys:\arkManager\arkConfig_sample_basic.xml file provides an example of the minimum set of XML elements to configure. To view an annotated version of the arkConfig_sample_basic.xml file, see Section B.2, Sample of a Basic Configuration for ArkConfig.xml.
The following are mandatory elements:
<arkConfig>
<basic>
<authentication> and its child elements:
<eDirectory> and its child elements: <user>, <password>, and <tree>
<database> and its child elements: <user>, <password>, and <portNumber>
The <displayLog/> tag is optional. For information, see XML Elements and Attributes for ArkConfig.
In the arkConfig.xml file, replace the example settings with your actual eDirectory and ArkSQL settings.
Copy the contents of the sys:\arkManager\arkConfig_sample_basic.xml file to the sys:\arkManager\arkConfig.xml file.
Modify the settings for each of the mandatory elements with the actual values of your system.
Save the sys:\arkManager\arkConfig.xml file.
Configure other arkConfig elements, using one or both of the following methods.
Use the Web-based management interface in the Archive Versioning plug-in for iManager. For information, see Section 8.2, Accessing the Archive Versioning Plug-In in iManager.
Use a text-editor to directly edit the sys:\arkManager\arkConfig.xml file. For information, see Configuring Jobs in ArkConfig.
