Content Manager OnDemand supports data storage in an Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) repository. More information on Amazon S3 can be found at: https://aws.amazon.com/s3/
Perform these steps to configure Amazon S3 on an AIX, Linux, or Linux on System z server.
Two new entries must be added to the ARS.CFG file.
ARS_S3_CONFIG_FILE=/opt/IBM/ondemand/V10.1/config/ars.s3
ARS_S3_CONFIG_DIR=/opt/IBM/ondemand/V10.1/config
ARS_S3_CONFIG_FILE=/opt/ibm/ondemand/V10.1/config/ars.s3
ARS_S3_CONFIG_DIR=/opt/ibm/ondemand/V10.1/config
The ARS_S3_CONFIG_FILE
entry specifies
an existing Amazon S3 configuration file which the server uses by
default.
The ARS_S3_CONFIG_DIR
entry specifies
the directory in which any alternate configuration files are kept.
This directory is used if additional Amazon S3 configuration files
are defined. The names of these additional configuration files can
be specified when defining storage nodes in Content Manager OnDemand. If no configuration file is
specified in the storage node, the default configuration file is used.
The configuration file name and directory path shown in the examples are the recommended values for these entries.
The ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER
entry in the ARS.CFG
file might also need to be changed. If you specify ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER=CACHE_ONLY
,
this disables all storage managers supported by Content Manager OnDemand.
ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER=TSM
ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER
value
is set to TSM
.ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER=NO_TSM

A sample configuration
file is included as part of the installation of Content Manager OnDemand.An Amazon S3 configuration file for Content Manager OnDemand contains entries specific to your Amazon S3 implementation. You specify the location and name of the default configuration file in the ARS.CFG entry or via the OnDemand Configurator. Required entries must be specified. Optional entries are not required in the configuration file unless those values need to be changed.
The following list describes the entries that can be specified in an Amazon S3 configuration file.

,
the Amazon S3 configuration file contains:ARS_S3_SERVER=s3.amazonaws.com
ARS_S3_REGION=us-west-2
You can define the settings for using the Amazon S3 access method on the Add a Primary Node dialog of the OnDemand Administrator client.
The Storage Node field becomes Bucket Name when the Access Method is set to Amazon S3. The bucket name must exist in your repository or access to Amazon S3 will fail.
The Logon and Password fields contain the Amazon S3 access key and password that Content Manager OnDemand needs to access your Amazon S3 repository.
The Access Method radio button is set
to Amazon S3
. For Content Manager OnDemand servers
running on all platforms except Windows, the Configuration File Name
defaults to the value specified by the ARS_S3_CONFIG_FILE
parameter
in the ARS.CFG file if no value is entered. Otherwise, Content Manager OnDemand looks for the configuration
file in the directory defined by the ARS_S3_CONFIG_DIR
parameter
specified in the ARS.CFG file. For Content Manager OnDemand servers
running on Windows, the server uses the Configuration File Name field
and the Configuration Directory field that are specified in the OnDemand
Configurator instead of using the ARS.CFG file parameters.
