After creating the Contenta database and testing the Contenta Explorer application, test the Contenta Administration application by following the steps below.
Before you begin
Before starting, ensure there are no Contenta users connected to the new database.
Procedure
- At a command prompt on the Contenta Server, enter:
source /pdm/bin/pdm.cshrc pcmadmin -dbase dbname@SID -singleuser
where dbname is the name of the database you created, and SID is the Oracle system identifier or service name.
If the application errors with the following message, there is a Contenta session attached to the database.
Open of ʺdbnameʺ failed: Canʹt attach single user. There are n users registered as active
Here, n is the number of users or Contenta applications attached to the database. To clear all Contenta sessions, issue the following command:
pcmsessions -dbase dbname -clear -all
See the SDL Contenta Administration User Guide for a list and explanation of pcmsessions and other switches and options.
- Enter the default sysadmin password, manager, in the Password field, and then click Login.
The
Contenta Administration Tool window appears.
Note: The password, manager, is the default sysadmin password when you create a new Contenta database. To change the password, see the SDL Contenta Administration User Guide.
