Testing the Contenta Administration application

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

  1. 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.

  2. Enter the default sysadmin password, manager, in the Password field, and then click Login.
    The Contenta Administration Tool window appears.
  3. Click File > Exit.
