Main view in IMiS Administration database contains all created storage servers. Use New storage server button for creating new one.




Two parameters are common for all types:

• Object handle prefix (Store server name column): it is up to administrator to choose object prefix, but it should not be changed, once the documents are created on server. Prefix should be as short as possible (up to 10 chars), because it is part of object link in IMiS_OBJ field in Notes document. For example (prefix is IS_ARC):
  

• Description is optional and is used for storage selection dialog (see ShowStorageSelection parameter for details)

• Characters , : ; # & ~ @ and new line are not allowed in this 2 parameters.

Next pictures will show setting parameters for different storage types.

Server Type: IMiS/ARC Server

• Host name is host name or IP address of IMiS/ARC server.
• Port is IP port used for client to IMiS/ARC server communication. It is always 16807, only if specified otherwise by IMiS support.
• Profiles are names of storage profiles defined on IMiS/ARC server (see for details). Multivalues are separated by new line and are case-sensitive.

New in 6.5 version: Host name and Port are multivalue fields (separator is new line) because failover is now supported and you can specify list of IMiS/ARC servers in case when primary IMiS/ARC fails and can not be reached.

• Authentication type: Basic/Advanced. Basic authentication is common, "legacy" authentication which is supported by all IMiS/ARC versions. If you choose Advanced, IMiS/ARC version 7.5 or above is required to properly authenticate the clients. It uses variable Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) to authenticate the clients. Crypto parameters and Pre Shared Key must be matched by the Server for authentication to be successful.

Server Type: File System

• Directory path is path to local or network volume where documents will be stored
• Counter is used for automatic file name generator of documents. It is updated automaticlly with Scan or Import process.

Server Type: Domino.Doc Server

• Path to library is complete address of Domino.Doc library. HTTP protocol is prefered. This parameter is used for resolving address of library from object prefix, written in object link.

Server Type: IBM Content Manager Server

• CM Server Name is name of the registered IBM DB2 Content Manager database.
• CM admin user name and Password are needed only for retrieving images from IBM CM by using IMiS/Net module. User name must have access to all images that will be retrieved by IMiS/Net. Use Set password button for password entry because function encrypts password and only internal IMiS/Net code will be able to decrypt it.

PREVIOUS VERSIONS INFO: Lotus MSS Server is not supported as storage server from version 4.

When you are finished with storage server(s), you have to create user profiles for all users who need to have IMiS/Scan or IMiS/View as described in Settings for IMiS/Scan and IMiS/View Users.
