Introduction CoreMedia CMS is a content management system for easy and convenient creation and administration of up-to-date content, interactive features and personalized web pages. For this purpose, CoreMedia provides an environment for online editorial workflow processes. Users can simultaneously create and edit content and so conveniently maintain a website. Integration of contents from print editorial systems, office applications and news agencies (dpa, SID, Reuters, etc.) is possible via import mechanisms. Internet display of the content or creation of various export formats is made possible by the versatile CoreMedia Content Application Engine (CAE). Configuration and operation of the different CoreMedia components is described in the correspondent manuals. This manual describes some overall tasks and knowledge that is important for all of the components. ➞ An overview of the architecture of the CoreMedia CMS system in ??? ➞ Some basics about the operating environments used by CoreMedia 6 are described in Chapter 2, System Requirements [5]. ➞ the administration essentials of CoreMedia CMS e.g. how to start the compon- ents, in Chapter 3, Basics of Operation [12] CoreMedia Operations Basics 1 Introduction | Audience 1.1 Audience This manual is dedicated to administrators and developers of CoreMedia CMS install- ations.
