Middleware is where applications meet infrastructure. Here our consultants write about WebLogic, JBoss EAP, WildFly and Tomcat in real production environments: installing and clustering them, patching, deploying applications and finding out why something stopped working.
Recently, I’ve been facing an issue more and more frequently where a Repository cannot register itself to a local/remote Docbroker. The root cause of the issue is simply that the hostname used for the projection to the Docbroker is too long which prevents the Repository to properly register to it. I’ve seen it recently because when working with Kubernetes, you…
Welcome to the DevOps World – Jenkins World in Lisbon 😀 ! I’m very excited to attend my first DevOps World, thanks to dbi services for allowing me to attend this event. By the way, it’s my first time here in Lisbon and I fell in love with this city. The first day was exclusively book for workshops, and we…
In this blog, I would like to show you how to setup JBoss EAP 7.0.0 in domain mode. It’s a step to step guide so you can follow the instructions in this blog and build your environment by yourself 😉 Environment preparation In my case I will prepare three hosts, below prerequisites should be verified, so make sure that: you…
Usually, when we speak about Standalone mode we imagine that it can’t be clustered… In fact, with JBoss it is possible, the clustering functionality is configured by default in the HA-based profiles: standalone-ha.xml and standalone-full-ha.xml. I would like to share with you two cluster scenarios: – Scenario 1: Two Standalone instances on one VM – Scenario 2: Two Standalone instances…
At a customer we encountered some issues with FT Search after documents migration. In fact, some documents were not indexed correctly or partially indexed, the need was to know which documents are impacted to resubmit the indexing again. The FTIntegrity tool is not able to give the needed result, so the only way was XQuery search. However, this blog is…
Around summer last year, one of the project I was working on started a new integration with AEM Forms for Digital Signatures and Reader Extension components. It was already using AEM Forms before but for other purposes. With this new requirement came new problems (obviously). This project was still using AEM Forms 6.4 JEE on WebLogic Server 12.2.1.3. As mentioned…
In a previous blog, I talked about the possible usage of K8s Services in place of the default headless/pod name and the issues that it brings. This one can be seen as a continuation since it is also related to the usage of K8s Services to install Documentum but this time with another issue that is specific to a RCS/CFS.…
In the past several months, we have been extensively working on setting up a CI/CD pipeline for Documentum at one of our customer. As part of this project, we are using Kubernetes pods for Documentum components. In this blog, I will talk about an issue caused by what seemed like a good idea but finally, not so much… The goal…
A few months ago, I started working with the CS 16.4 (always using silent installation) and I had the pleasant surprise to see a new error message in the installation log. It’s always such a pleasure to lose time on pretty stupid things like the one I will talk about in this blog. So what’s the issue? Well upon installing…
For one of our important customers, we are working on a major project to migrate critical applications to containers. From the implementation of the Kubernetes architecture to the deployment of applications and the administration of the platform, we are responsible for an important technological stack with new challenges for our team. One of the challenges, both important and exciting, is…
As part of an AEM project, we were working on setting up a few actions on PDF files. One of these actions was to Sign & Certify a PDF file. The basic Sign & Certify action provided by AEM is working easily by default but if you look deeper, you might get some surprise. The complexity in this case came…
In a previous blog, I described the process to setup the AEM Forms to allow the AEM Workbench to connect to AEM using “2-way-SSL”. This setup is normally independent of the Application Server that you are using to host AEM. However, I already faced an issue (other than this one) which was caused by the 2-way-SSL setup for the Workbench…
