Documentum – Unable to configure IDS 7.3 for a docbase

In this blog, I will talk about an issue with the IDS 7.3 which is installed on a Content Server 7.3. The IDS is the Interactive Delivery Services. It is a product provided by OpenText that needs to be installed on a Content Server (for the “Source” part) and on a Target Server (for the “Target” part). The IDS can… 

Enable Trusted Content Services (TCS) license in Documentum Content Server

The Trusted Content Services is a pack of features that you can enable/purchase to gain more security for your Content Server. The main key features are listed in this documentation: https://www.emc.com/collateral/software/data-sheet/h3138-security-ds.pdf In our case, we wanted to benefit from the Repository Encryption feature: Repository Encryption: Documentum TCS prevents intruders from accessing information even if they obtain unauthorized access to repository… 

Documentum: IndexAgent uninstalled continues to queue requests

We had a strange behavior by a customer regarding the indexing queue. We used to have two IA configured and we uninstalled one. I figured out that we still had indexing queue requests for the old index agent while it was totally uninstalled. I checked the following objects to see if the agent was still configured somewhere: dm_fulltext_index, dm_ftengine_config, dm_ftindex_agent_config.… 

Documentum – RCS 7.3 – Issue with projections?

In the last two blogs I posted, I mentioned that I was working on silent installations with CS 7.3 (in HA). The “issue” (it’s more like a common mistake) I will describe in this blog is linked to the HA installation. You can face that using the silent or GUI installation, it doesn’t matter.   To replicate this behavior, it’s pretty simple:… 

Documentum – RCS 7.3 – dm_server_config cannot contain dash

As mentioned in this blog, I was recently installing a new 7.3 P05 environment. Actually, this environment was in HA and it was the first silent installation of a Remote Content Server for me. I already created a lot of blogs related to issues with the CS 7.3 but since this was my first RCS 7.3 installation, I was kind… 

Documentum – CS 7.3 – Issue with dmqdocbroker

Beginning of this month, I was building a new environment in 7.3 P05 (using silent installation but this isn’t relevant here) and I found a strange behaviour from the dmqdocbroker so I wanted to share that. You will see below an error message “Input has special characters …”. This is specific to the CS 7.3 for which we opened a… 

Documentum – Unable to install xCP 2.3 on a CS 7.3

Beginning of this year, we were doing our first silent installations of the new Documentum stack. I already created a few blogs to talk about some issues with CS 7.3 and xPlore 1.6. This time, I will talk about xCP 2.3 and in particular the installation on a CS 7.3. The Patch of xCP as well as the patch for… 

Documentum – Using DA with Self-Signed SSL Certificate

A few years ago, I was working on a Documentum project and one of the tasks was to setup all components in SSL. I already published a lot of blogs on this subject but there is one I wanted to do but never really took the time to publish it. In this blog, I will therefore talk about Documentum Administrator… 

Documentum – Change password – 8 – FT – Dsearch & xDB

Here we are, already, at the end of my series of blogs about the “Change Password”. This blog will, as already mentioned in a previous one, talk about the Dsearch and xDB passwords. I could have created a lot more blogs in this series but I already presented the most important and most interesting ones so this blog will be… 

Documentum – Change password – 7 – DB – Schema Owner

In this serie, I completed the passwords I wanted to talk about on the Content Server. Therefore in this blog, I will talk about the only Database Account that is relevant for Documentum: the Database Schema Owner. Since there are a few steps to be done on the Content Server, I’m just doing everything from there… In this blog, I… 

Documentum – Change password – 6 – CS/FT – JKS

Just like for the JBoss Admin password (here), this blog will be for both Content Servers and Full Text Servers. I will provide commands below to change the passwords of the Java KeyStore for the Java Method Server (JMS) and Full Text Servers (Dsearch/IndexAgent). Again, JKS aren’t only used in the scope of Documentum so if you are here for… 

Documentum – Change password – 5 – CS/FT – JBoss Admin

The next password I wanted to blog about is the JBoss Admin password. As you know, there are several JBoss Application Servers in Documentum. The most used being the ones for the Java Method Server (JMS) and for the Full Text Servers (Dsearch/IndexAgent). In this blog, I will only talk about the JBoss Admin password of the JMS and IndexAgents…
