ContentConnect Client Application
The client application, built from the JavaBeans in the ContentConnect toolkit,
provides a ready interface to perform a single search to retrieve, display, and
update documents and folders from multiple Content Servers. The client application
can be run from a Web browser or run as a standalone application.
Command Line Options
The cmbclientapp.bat installed with the client component of ContentConnect
is used to start the ContentConnect client application.
This bat file contians parameters for the Java
environment and parameters to set options for the
client application.
Parameters for the Java environment
The Java environment parameters are
-classpath and -ms16m.
The -classpath parameter is required when using
the jre command instead of the Java command to begin the client application.
The -ms16m parameter is used to set the initial Java
heap size and is required to run the application.
Parameters for the Client Application
- jre.exe com.ibm.mm.capp.CMBClient server=server_name
[srv_opt=srvopt][stv_opt=stvopt][stl_collopt=stlcollopt]
[fv_collopt=fvcollopt][srv_collopt=srvcollopt]
[Browser=browsername][HelpHome=installdirpath]
where:
-
server_name is the server name, and specifies the name of your server where
the ContentConnect database is installed. This is a required
parameter.
- srvopt is the search results viewer option. Valid values are (the default is 1):
- 1 Clear the data in the search results viewer when a new
template is selected.
- 2
When a new template is selected, display the results
viewer with the data from the last time the search
template was selected.
-
stvopt is the search template viewer display option. Valid values are (the default
is 2):
- 1 Any fields set by the administrator is the default data for
the field.
- 2 For each template, when the user types in data, the data
is kept on the template until the user clears it or
overwrites it.
- 3 When the user switches to another template, any
common keyfield data from the previous template is
populated to the fields only if the field is not already filled
in. This means that the data in the same name fields are
copied when a template is selected that was never
before selected. The function is only valid for the first
time a template is selected.
This option is only valid if there is no default data defined
by the administrator. If the administrator defines data, it is
that data which is displayed on the search criteria field.
-
srvcollopt and fvcollopt are for sorting column
data in the search results viewer and folder viewer.
stlcollopt is used for sorting the search template list.
Valid values are (the default is 1):
-
0 Primary differences are significant during comparison.
When set, only PRIMARY differences are considered significant during comparison. The assignment of strengths to
language features is locale dependant. A common example is for different base letters ("a" vs "b") to be considered a
PRIMARY difference.
-
1 Accents on characters and above are considered significant during comparison.
When set, only SECONDARY and above differences are considered significant during comparison. The assignment of
strengths to language features is locale dependant. A common example is for different accented forms of the same base
letter ("a" vs "ä") to be considered a SECONDARY difference.
- 2 Character case and above are considered significant during comparison.
When set, only TERTIARY and above differences are considered significant during comparison. The assignment of
strengths to language features is locale dependant. A common example is for case differences ("a" vs "A") to be
considered a TERTIARY difference.
- 3 Is exact character-for-character matching.
When set, all differences are considered significant during comparison. The assignment of strengths to language features is
locale dependant. A common example is for control characters ("\u0001" vs "\u0002") to be considered equal at the
PRIMARY, SECONDARY, and TERTIARY levels but different at the IDENTICAL level.
- Browser is the Browser name for example
browser=²c:\\program files\\plus!\\microsoft internet\\iexplore.exe²
On Windows NT, this parameter is optional. The system’s default
browser is used to display the ClientHelp.html file. You may
choose to use the Browser parameter on a Windows NT system
to specify a browser other than the default browser.
On all other operating systems, you must specify the Browser
parameter on the application startup command line. Also, the
specified browser’s exe file must either be in your path or you
should specify the full path as shown in the above example.
- HelpHome is the full path to the ContentConnect
install root directory
This parameter is used to start the ContentConnect Client
Application from any directory other than the install directory.
Typically, the application is started from your install directory. If
you choose to start from somewhere else, you must specify the
HelpHome parameter on the command line for the client Help to
work correctly. For example, if the ContentConnect root directory
is f:\ContentConnect, the command to start the client from any
other directory is jre.exe com.ibm.mm.capp.CMBClient
HelpHome=²f:\\ContentConnect²
