System administrators are in charge of the following tasks:

  • Logging in to the application server operating system and Jama Connect as root user
  • Installing, updating, and maintaining the Jama Connect platform
  • Setting up the database and application servers
  • Installing the admin console and Jama Connect
  • Configure settings such as authentication and mail servers
  • Regular maintenance, such as updates and uploading custom reports

Ideally, a system administrator has expertise in these areas of administration:

Database
System administrators set up and administer the database, including database sizing, resource allocation, recommended backups, and availability of the database engine.

Linux
Jama Connect must be installed on a Linux-based system. System administrators need to use a Command Line Interface (CLI) for basic navigation, file manipulation, permissions, and network configuration when installing, upgrading, allocating resources, and maintaining the availability and security of the server.

Directory server
If you're not using Jama Connect native authentication, system administrators must set up and administrate your organization's supported directory server [27].

Mail server
If you're using these functions in Jama Connect, system administrators set up and administrate your organization's mail server.

 

System administration is necessary for customers who are self-hosting Jama Connect. For cloud customers, Jama Software manages system administration. If you're interested in an implementation that doesn't require system administration at your organization, please contact your Customer Success Manager regarding our cloud solution.
