Installing B&OM

AddOutputManagement.exe works as follows:

1. It checks the requirements needed for the B&OM installation.

   If the check fails, the installation quits.

2. It installs Batch & Output Management, but doesn't finish the configuration yet.

To install B&OM, you must execute the following steps:

1. Open the command line interface (CLI). It could be PowerShell or Command Prompt.

2. In the CLI navigate to the <deploy root>\CommunicationsManager\Programs\<version>\Management folder.

3. Call the AddOutputManagement.exe file and provide the necessary parameters. The order of parameters is irrelevant. See an example of the call below:

   AddOutputManagement.exe Services!Password=testpassword OutputManagement!Secondary=false

   To simplify input, you can create a script with the required parameter values and then use it to run AddOutputManagement.exe.

   If everything is correct, the installation will run without errors. You will be able to follow the installation process by reading the CLI output.

   If the installation fails, use the RemoveOutputManagement.exe tool described in the Uninstall Batch & Output Management section of this guide. to remove the unfinished B&OM deployment.

This section describes post-installation steps you have to execute to connect the installed B&OM to the Communications Manager Instance that performs document composition.

1. In Communications Manager Studio, go to the Administration tab and click System Administration.
2. Click System Object.
3. Locate the Communications Manager Core and Communications Manager Repository sections and adjust the respective Host and Port properties.

Next, configure the referenced Communications Manager Core to accept remote connections:

1. Open the Communications Manager Core Administrator of the Communications Manager instance that is referenced by B&OM.
2. Go to the DP Manager tab.
3. Enable remote access in the Security section.
