Post-Installation Tasks

After you have installed the Learning Management System, there are other tasks that must be completed to make full use of your installation. These include the following:

Configuring on-line help

Adding the Delivery Server to the Learning Management System application

Deploying the Offline Learning Client

Installing the Authoring Tool

Installing the Command Line Import Utility

Migrating LearningSpace data

Installing XVFB on UNIX platforms to enable reporting

To complete these tasks, make sure that you have logged into the Learning Management System as the Administrator. Refer to the Administrator’s Guide for more information.

Configuring on-line help

The Learning Management System on-line help is contained in a .war. Refer to the product Release Notes and README for more information on the correct file name.

To configure this help, create a directory for files in your HTTP Server’s document root (for example, /usr/IBMHttpServer/htdocs/en_US on an AIX system) to store the help files. Unzip the help .war file into this directory.

Note: UNIX and AIX users creating directories must have root privileges. Remember also not to use spaces when creating directory names.

Next, access the Learning Management System start page at

http://$LMM_HOSTNAME/$LMM_CONTEXT_ROOT (for example, http://xyz.acme.com/lms-lmm) and navigate to Settings-LMM General Settings-General tab.

In the URL entry for the help system, enter http://$LMM_HOSTNAME /$HELP_DIR/ (for example, http://xyz.acme.com/help_dir/) where $HELP_DIR is the help directory created previously within the HTTP server’s document root.

Adding the Delivery Server to the Learning Management System application

1.To add the Delivery Server to the Learning Management System Server application, access the Learning Management System Server start page at http:// $LMM_HOSTNAME /$LMM_CONTEXT_ROOT (for example, http://xyz.acme.com/lms-lmm).

2.Go to Settings-Delivery Server and click Add.

3.Enter a name, description, username and password for the DS. The Delivery Server URL is http:// $DS_HOSTNAME/$DS_CONTEXT_ROOT (for example, http://xyz.acme.com/lms-ds).

4.Click Save.
