24 IBM Content Manager OnDemand Guide
To update the ARS.CFG file, complete the following steps:
1. Log in to the server as the root user.
2. Change to the /opt/IBM/ondemand/V9.5/config directory.
3. Make a backup copy of the file that is provided by IBM.
4. Edit the ARS.CFG file.
4. Save the file.
5. Set file permissions on the file to control access. Allow the Content Manager OnDemand 
instance to have read or write permissions. 
Figure 2-4 on page 25 and Figure 2-5 on page 26 show sample ARS.CFG file content, which is 
split into two parts for easier reference.
Note for distributed library and object servers: Several parameters in the ARS.CFG 
file are not used on object servers. For example, an object server does not use the 
license parameters, server print parameters, and database parameters. For more 
information, see the following sections.
For distributed library and object servers:
1. Configure one copy of the ARS.CFG file on each workstation that is part of the 
Content Manager OnDemand system. 
2. Set the ARS_SRVR parameter to the TCP/IP host name alias, fully qualified host 
name, or IP address of the library server. 
3. Set the ARS_LOCAL_SRVR parameter to the TCP/IP host name alias, fully qualified 
host name, or IP address of the object server.
