Install the Content Database Only

Using the CA DataMinder IDOL Connector installer, you can only install a content database onto the local server. You must therefore run the installer on the server that you want to host the content database.

To install the content database only

  1. Find setup.exe in the root of your CA DataMinder distribution image. Run setup.exe to launch the CA DataMinder installation wizard.

    The Installation Type screen opens.

  2. Click Advanced Installation.
  3. In the Advanced Install Options screen, choose Content Services and then click Install.

    This launches the CA DataMinder Content Services installation wizard in a separate window.

  4. In the content services server installation wizard, navigate to the Custom Setup screen.
  5. Click the Autonomy IDOL Content Database feature only. Then click Next.
  6. In the Content Database Configuration page, specify the following items:
    Service Port

    Specify the port number that the content database listens on.

    Data Folder

    Specify the folder used to hold the content database files. These files contain the indexed text content of CA DataMinder events. You must ensure that the target server has sufficient free disk space to store your indexed events.

    In a typical deployment, this folder is on the same server as the content database. But you can specify a remote location. If the folder is on a remote computer, specify a network file share using the universal naming convention (UNC) or mapped network drive.

    Service Account

    (Optional) If you specified a remote folder location, specify a domain account with write access to the remote folder. The content database uses this domain account to store and retrieve indexed events.

  7. Continue to the final wizard screen and click Install.
  8. (Applicable only if you plan to install the content indexer on a different server to the content database) Manually specify the content indexer host server.

    See the reference below for details.
