Introduction

This document

Describes how to implement, in a very fast way, the infrastructure for a smalldeployment of a IBM Connections 4.5 Server.

It is designed for a Proof of Concept, Proof of Technology or a small test pilotdeployment only.

It does not contain information how to implement a high available infrastructure.

You can start with this document just to "make your bosses happy". But to make thesystem available for a larger number of users, it is recommended to invite IBMServices to plan and implement a clustered IBM Connections infrastructure in yourorganization that is fully supported.

The Author has tested this scenario with the hardware specification and softwarecomponents described in this document.

You can use the official IBM support channels for any issue you raise when you usejust this document to install your IBM Connections server. All instructions in thisdocument are based on the official documentation wiki.

You need IBM Connections licenses to download the code from Passport Advantage

and to install and use this software.

What is IBM Connections? (cont)

Communities

A website where people who share a common interest can interact with one another,share information, and exchange ideas. Community members can participate incommunity-specific activities and forums, and can share blogs, bookmarks, feeds, andfiles.

Files

A common repository in which you can upload files and share them with others. Storeversions of a file, view who has downloaded a file or commented on it, and see highlyrecommended files.

Forums

A place to brainstorm and collect feedback on topics that are relevant to you and your

colleagues. Statements and comments are collected in a format that captures theexchange of ideas and presents them as an ongoing conversation.

What's new in IBM Connections 4.5

What's new for administrators in Version 4.5?

Installation

The installation of IBM Connections Content Manager for the Libraries application onAIX, Linux, and Windows.

The installation now supports IBM i platform 6.1/7.1 for all applications other thanLibraries.

The installation wizard is based on IBM Installation Manager 1.5.3.

Administration

IBM Connections:

You can lock the default frequency with which email digests from IBM

Connections applications are sent to your users by configuring the

frequencyLocked property in the notification-config.xml file. For more

information, see Setting the default frequency of email digests.


9/55


What's new in IBM Connections 4.5 (cont.)

Activities:

The EventLogPurgeJob task deletes old entries from the Activities events log. This taskhelps maintain performance and keeps the log from becoming too large. By default, itruns daily at 2 AM. You can specify the time that the log is purged and set the propertiesthat define which entries can be deleted.

Communities:

You can increase the maximum number of communities that can be displayed in theCommunities user views by adding a configuration setting to the LotusConnections-config.xml file.

If the Communities catalog index becomes corrupted or is not being refreshed properly,

you can restore the index by deleting the existing index data and waiting for the nextscheduled crawl. For more information, see the Restoring the Communities catalog indextopic.

By adding search to the list of modes in the Linked Library widget definition, you canenable search for content in linked libraries. For more information, see Enabling searchfor linked libraries.


10/55



Libraries:

Libraries provide community members document management capabilities to upload,manage, organize, and collaborate on community files. A community can containmultiple libraries.

Attention: When the IBM Connections Content Manager add-on is deployed,community owners can create libraries directly from a community using the Library

widget. Community owners can also link to existing libraries using the Linked Librarywidget available in IBM Connections 3.0.1 and later. In this documentation, the librariescreated directly from a community using the Library widget are referred to ascommunity libraries. The libraries connected to a community using the Linked Librarywidget are referred to as linked libraries. Community libraries are currently onlysupported in IBM FileNet Content Manager deployments. Linked libraries aresupported by IBM FileNet Content Manager and IBM Content Manager.


11/55



Community libraries provide owners and members with the following content managementcapabilities and enhanced social features:

Checkin and checkout. Members can check out files and edit them using private drafts.Checked out files are locked to prevent other users from making updates at the sametime.

Version control. Members can see who has updated content at a glance and roll back toprevious file versions if there is a need to recover older content.

File organization. Members can copy, move, and delete files, and use Trash view

functionality to manage deleted content. Draft review. Members can collaborate on shared files and send them through an

established review cycle to obtain the approval of selected members of the community. Sharing. Community owners can set file-level access to the library, giving them tighter

control over who can edit content. Social content management. Members can interact with content in the community

library in a social and dynamic way. For example, they can use tags to categorize

content and improve file retrieval, and like files to recommend them to fellow members.Members can also track file updates in the community activity stream, follow files,comment on files, and see who has downloaded files.

Document types and properties. Community owners can set the default document typefor a library, allowing them to specify a defined set of information and properties forlibrary files.


12/55



Existing linked libraries from earlier versions of IBM Connections can also leverage many ofthe content management capabilities and enhanced social features provided by communitylibraries, depending on the deployment specification. Where there are limitations for specificlinked library deployments, these are noted in this help.Notes:

Access to linked libraries is managed on the Enterprise Content Management (ECM)server unlike community libraries, where the access is managed from the community.Access to a linked library does not include the community owners and members groups,so having access to a community does not necessarily mean that you have access to itslinked libraries. You can see the Linked Library widget but unless you have access to

the linked library, you cannot see any content in the library. If you remove the Linked Library widget from your community, the linked library content

is not deleted from the ECM server. You can access the content by adding the LinkedLibrary widget to your community again and recreating the connection with the ECMserver. If you remove the Library widget from your community, the associated librarycontent is permanently removed from your community and cannot be retrieved.

You can search for files in community libraries, however, searching in linked libraries is

disabled by default. If search is enabled for linked libraries, a Linked Libraries tab isavailable in your Communities search results. Linked library search results display allmatching files in the library. The search results do not include any social features, suchas tagging, or document type information. When you click a search result, you are takento a generic landing page that is outside the scope of a community. When a linkedlibrary is connected to a subfolder of a library, the search results are scoped to thelibrary rather than to the folder.


13/55



Wikis:

The Wikis administrator can delete draft wiki pages that were created by other users. Thiscapability is useful after a user leaves the organization.

Create your own message for users by customizing the Wikis welcome page.

Files:

You can now use a Files administrative command to obtain the ID of a community libraryusing its community uuid value. The format of the command is:

FilesLibraryService.getByExternalContainerId(string community_id)


14/55



Profiles:

You can now exclude nicknames when adding or updating user profiles by specifying anew name.expansion property in the tdi-profiles-config.xml file.

You can use the new mapToNameTable property in the profiles-types.xml file to specifyan additional givenname or surname value for use with Profiles directory search.

You can integrate the Profiles business card with your web application by mapping an

LDAP distinguished name, using the DN parameter; in addition to the previously availableuser ID and email mapping options.

The hashEmail extended attribute can be added to themap_dbrepos_from_source.properties file or profileExtension table in the tdi-profiles-config.xml file to support Profiles users in conjunction with the Microsoft Outlook SocialConnector. For related information topics in the Using the IBM Connections DesktopPlug-ins for Microsoft Windows section of the IBM Connections wiki.


15/55



News:

Use the NewsActivityStreamService.updateApplicationRegistrationForEmailDigestcommand to update a registered third-party application to enable it for email digestfunctionality. For more information about this command, see Registering third-partyapplications.

Use the NewsEmailDigestService.refreshDefaultEmailPrefsFromConfig()command to

refresh updates to the default email preferences specified in the notification-config.xml filewithout the need for a server restart.


16/55



Search:

Use the new, optional parameter for the SearchService.startBackgroundIndex commandto run social analytics indexing jobs at the end of the background indexing operation.

You can configure post-filtering for the ECM service by enabling or disabling a property inthe Search configuration file. Post-filtering is enabled by default.

Use the SearchService.startBackgroundSandIndex command to create a background

index for the social analytics service. Use this command to run background indexing forsocial analytics without having to run a full index crawl.

By adding search to the list of modes in the Linked Library widget definition, you canenable search for content in linked libraries using FileNet P8 5.2. For more information,see Enabling search for linked libraries.

IBM Connections 4.5 Server Prerequisites

For this pilot deployment you need

a supported LDAP directory server (see system requirements)In this example we use Domino LDAP

two Windows Server 2008 64Bit boxes for the installation

Network and DNS configuration

to download the required installation files from Passport Advantage and FixCentral

several administrative user accounts

a trusted certificate (optional)

A IBM Lotus Domino 8.5.3 FP3 Server for Domino Mail integration (optional)

A IBM Sametime Proxy Server 8.5.2 IFR1 for the Sametime awareness and BIZ-Card integration (optional)


23/55

This document describes how to install the components on a Microsoft Windows Server2008 R2 64 Bit Service Pack 1 platform.

A 32Bit Windows OS is not supported with this IBM Connections 4.5 Server components.

Hardware required for this Pilot Example Deployment


24/55


OS and Network requirements

Make sure that all servers you want to use can be resolved in DNS. If DNS is not available then list all full qualified server names and IP addresses from

all servers in the hosts file and publish this file to all servers.

If your machines have multiple NIC and / or multiple IP addresses and / or multiplehostnames and / or multiple aliases in DNS then this can cause issues that we

have not tested. We recommend to have machines with only one NIC and one IPaddress, a full qualified host name in the OS network preferences and if requiredone DNS Alias for example connections.renovations.com if the machine nameis cryptic and you don't want to use it as access point for your users.

If you use Windows 2008 as Operating System, then you need to start allinstallations and configurations in Administrative mode.

Required technical users for IBM Connections 4 5


37/55


Required technical users for IBM Connections 4.5

IBM Connections requires some technical users for components tocommunicate in an authenticated mode. All of this users should beconfigured so that the password never expires and never needs to be

changed.

db2adminThis user is created during installation of the DB2 server in theOperating System. Do not create this user in advance.It is the user for all IBM Connections related components using DB2 toaccess their databases. Be sure to match the password policyrequirements of the OS.

LCUSERThis user is created manually after installation of the DB2 server in the

Operating System. Do not create this user in advance.It is the user for all IBM Connections related components using DB2 toaccess their databases. Be sure to match the password policyrequirements of the OS.



38/55



LDAP BindThis user is to send authenticated requests to your LDAP directoryserver. This is required to get back all required information from the

LDAP.

wasadminThis is the user to access the IBM WebSphere components and toadminister the system. This user must not exist in your LDAP directory.It is created during WebSphere installation in a local file repository. Youcan use the same user name and password for all components (makesit easier) or different names and passwords. But again, it does not workwhen this user exists in the LDAP.

ihsadmin

This is the user to access the IBM HTTP Server components and toadminister the system. This user must not exist in your LDAP directory.It is created during IHS installation in a local file repository. But again, itdoes not work when this user exists in the LDAP.



39/55



Cognos AdminThis user is required to administer the Cognos Business Intelligenceand Transformer components in your Connections installation. This

user must be created in your LDAP directory and the password shouldnever expire as all technical user accounts. Take note of theshortname of this user. This shortname is required later in the postinstall tasks for Cognos.

Connections Content Manager (CCM) AdministratorThis user is required for CCM to communicate with the WebSphere

Application Server part. If you use an existing FileNet deployment thenthis user should be an LDAP user that has admin rights to yourWebSphere deployment. If you install a new FileNet deployment thisis what we are doing here with this document it is easiest to use the

existing wasadmin user.



40/55



Anonymous User for Filenet

IBM FileNet Collaboration Services implements anonymous access

with a designated user that is used only for this purpose. The usershould be a system-type user that is not used by a real person. Theuser ID does not need, and should not have, any particular privilegeson the object store beyond what is given by the installation guide. Thisuser's access control records will determine what level of access isgiven to anonymous users. Consequently, choose a functional ID that

is reserved for this purpose and that does not have special access.

Configuring an anonymous user is required if users will be accessingConnections communities anonymously. In some cases, such as whendesktop single-sign is enabled, or when roles in the communities

application have been restricted to limit access to authenticated users,setting up anonymous access for FileNet is optional. Refer to Roles forinformation on restricting access to anonymous users in communities.

Create a user with the name Anonymous User in your DominoLDAP.

Deployment options

Install IBM Connections in one of three deployment topologies to achieve optimum scaling,

load balancing, and failover.

A network deployment can consist of a single server that hosts all IBM Connectionsapplications or two or more sets of clustered servers that share the workload. You mustconfigure an additional system with WebSphere Application Server Network DeploymentManager.

IBM Cognos Business Intelligence is an optional component in the deployment. If used,Cognos must be federated to the same Deployment Manager as the IBM Connections servers.However, Cognos servers cannot be configured within an IBM Connections cluster.

A network deployment provides the administrator with a central management facility and itensures that users have constant access to data. It balances the workload between servers,improves server performance, and facilitates the maintenance of performance when thenumber of users increases. The added reliability also requires a larger number of systems andexperienced administrative personnel who can manage them.


43/55


When you are installing IBM Connections, you have threedeployment options:

Small deployment

Install all IBM Connectionsapplications on a singlenode in a single cluster. Thisoption is the simplestdeployment but has limitedflexibility and does not allowindividual applications to bescaled up. All theapplications run within asingle Java VirtualMachine (JVM).

Note: The diagram depicts a

topology with up to 8servers. If you install theservers on shared systems,you do not need to deploy 8separate systems.


44/55


Medium deployment

Install a subset of applicationsin separate clusters. IBMConnections provides threepredefined cluster namesshared among all of itsapplications. Use this optionto distribute applications

according to your usageexpectations. For instance,you might anticipate higherloads for the Profilesapplication and install it in itsown cluster, while otherapplications could be installed

in a different cluster. Thisoption allows you to maximizethe use of available hardwareand system resources to suityour needs.


45/55


Large deployment

Install each application inits own cluster. IBMConnections provides apredefined cluster namefor each application. Thisoption provides the bestperformance in terms of

scalability and availabilityoptions but also requiresmore system resources.In most cases, you shouldinstall the News andHome page applicationsin the same cluster.

Different ways to a IBM Connections 4 5 Server deployment


46/55


Different ways to a IBM Connections 4.5 Server deployment

As you could see in the previous slides, you can install IBM Connections on one boxand have up to nearly unlimited number of boxes for a really large high availabledeployment.

The largest customer environment that I know is of more then 50 boxes where all 10IBM Connections components run on a cluster of 3 servers and a high availablededicated IBM HTTP Server in front.

Everything between one box and many boxes is possible. For your productionenvironment a detailed architecture design and sizing is urgently recommended.

In this pilot we use one box for the IBM Connections Server and an other box for theCognos Business Intelligence and Transformer services. We assume you have aalready existing Domino LDAP with user data.

We now will install one large box that will contain the DB2 Databases for all the IBMConnections Applications, the TDI to move personal data from the LDAP server to the

People database, the IBM Connections server by itself and the IBM HTTP server forcaching and SSL security in front. On the second box we will install the DB2 client, theWebSphere Server platform and the Cognos Server components.
