This CMOD Training session will cover the three most popular modes of operation for arsdoc:

• arsdoc query - Provides the ability to query Application Groups or Folders in a variety of ways to help find metadata quickly, and programmatically.

• arsdoc get - Allows you to retrieve documents from inside Content Manager OnDemand, back into their original format, or in the CMOD Generic Index format, optimized for loading back into OnDemand.

• arsdoc update - While updating metadata in your corporate archive is generally frowned upon, this CMOD command allows you to update fields to automate and extend the functionality of your Content Manager OnDemand server.

We'll also very quickly review how you can streamline complex tasks with basic scripting at the UNIX & Linux command line.

Added in a Content Manager OnDemand Fixpack for version 9.5, the CMOD Cloud Storage options offer the ability to expand OnDemand simply, easily, and at a lower price point than self-hosting options with IBM Spectrum Protect (formerly Tivoli Storage Manager), which historically was the only way to gain access to massive near-line storage with built-in backups and disaster recovery.

Included in this educational CMOD course is a brief review of the various options,  a brief comparison, and a demonstration of configuring CMOD to utilize Cloud Storage, and discussion of implementing SSL on CMOD to ensure your data is kept secure in transit to the cloud.

This course will provide a solid technical understanding of the components of CMOD, and discuss how they provide a powerful solution to the problem of storing documents like statements, invoices, mainframe reports, and almost any other type of structured data.

We'll get a 360° view of OnDemand, reviews strengths and weaknesses, talk about IBM CMOD Architecture, end-user and administrator experience, configuration, and operational considerations.

Beginning with a brief review of the architecture of CMOD, we'll discuss each of the required and optional components for Content Manager OnDemand, see how they're related and interoperate to provide one of the fastest, most effective Enterprise Report Management ("ERM") systems in the Enterprise Content Management ("ECM") space.

Next we'll cover the hardware and software requirements, OnDemand cache filesystems, configuring secondary storage, and scheduling maintenance with the  'arsmaint' utility, and discussing backup & recovery of your CMOD server.

Finally, we'll get into troubleshooting from the top-down, covering the built-in OnDemand System Log, log files in the server's filesystems, database diagnostic logs, and enabling tracing in order to find espeically difficult errors.

While this webinar is aimed at people who have root access to CMOD servers, it may be enlightening for Content Manager OnDemand administrators to take a peek under the covers to help them diagnose and troubleshoot errors.

This course is one of my most popular.  This is a through review and tour of the CMOD Admin Client, including descriptions and examples of all of the various settings, but most importantly, why and when to change the default settings to get better performance.

This session includes some high-level ways of thinking about the internal architecture of CMOD, so you can build Application Groups, Applications, and Storage Sets correctly the first time!  We'll answer questions about how to streamline the Application Group creation process, when to define unique Storage Sets, how to properly configure OnDemand to expire data on the right time.  

Anyone who has access to an administrative account on CMOD should attend!

This class will start at a stratopheric level, and provide the biggest, clearest picture possible, without getting into the technical jargon.  From there, we'll de-orbit from the executive level, and go through everything an Enterprise Architect and Project Manager needs to know in order to give your CMOD implemention the highest chance of success.

Executive Level - The Biggest Picture, and the biggest benefits & cost savings.  How others in your industry are using it, and how to meet enterprise-level goals.

Architectural Level - How CMOD fits into the mosaic of your ECM solutions, and how data flows into, out of, and around Content Manager OnDemand.

Project Management Level - Creating managable tasks to complete your project or implementation, and understanding the most important questions to ask during the kickoff phase of your next CMOD project.
