OpenText Documentum as our consultants run it: installation, upgrades, Content Server, D2, xPlore, administration, scripting and troubleshooting.
In a previous blog (see this one), I already provided the steps to change the BOF password and I mentioned that this was more or less the only important account in the Global Registry. Well in this blog, I will show you how to change the passwords for the two other important accounts: the Presets and Preferences accounts. These…
In this blog, I will describe the few steps needed to change the Documentum Installation Owner’s password. As you all know, the Installation Owner is (one of) the most important password in Documentum and it is probably the first you define even before starting the installation. As always, I will use a linux environment and in this case, I’m…
When installing a Global Registry on a Content Server, you will be asked to setup the BOF username and password. The name of this user is by default “dm_bof_registry” so even if you can change it, I will use this value in this blog. This is one of the important accounts that are being created inside the Global Registry. So,…
This blog is the first one of a series that I will publish in the next few days/weeks regarding how you can change some passwords in Documentum. In these blogs, I will talk about a lot of accounts like the Installation Owner of course, the Preset and Preferences accounts, the JKS passwords, the JBoss Admin passwords, the xPlore xDB passwords,…
This is a blog following the one I already wrote ealier: https://www.dbi-services.com/blog/documentum-administrator-ucf-troubleshooting/ The first one was for “how to find the error” and not how to resolve it. In this blog I will talk about an error I got by a customer about UCF. I got an error message using DA 7.2 where I coulnd’t download documents, in fact every…
I’m warning you, this blog will be short, like extra short! Beginning of this year, during our testing of the new xPlore 1.6 (GA release, no patches were available) components, I was following my blog to setup a PrimaryDsearch and an IndexAgent in HTTPS using the ConfigSSL.groovy. As the groovy script is provided with the xPlore components directly, the steps…
In a previous blog (see this one), I described how to setup a WildFly instance in HTTPS and I quickly mentioned something related to the CPS. When I wrote this previous blog, I was already aware of one specific issue that prevented the CPS to be usable but I didn’t want to mention it to stay focus on the WildFly…
In a previous blog (See this one), I mentioned some differences between JBoss 7.1.1 (coming with CS 7.2 / xPlore 1.5) and WildFly 9.0.1 (coming with CS 7.3 / xPlore 1.6). In this blog, I will talk about what is needed to setup a WildFly instance in HTTPS only or HTTPS+HTTP. This blog applies to both Content Servers and Full Text…
As mentioned in previous blogs (like this one), we were doing some testing on the newly released versions of Documentum (CS 7.3, xPlore 1.6, aso…). On this blog, I will talk about something that can prevent the WildFly instances to start properly (RedHat renamed the JBoss Application Server to WildFly in 2013 starting with the version 8.0). As this issue is linked to WildFly,…
In the last few months, we already did some tests with the Content Server 7.3, D2 4.7 and xPlore 1.6. As often, we found some funny/interesting behaviors and we faced some issues. In this blog I will talk about one issue I faced when I tried to install a new IndexAgent with xPlore 1.6. The Content Server used was a…
At some of our customers, we often install new docbases for development purposes which are used only for a short time to avoid cross-team interactions/interferences and this kind of things. Creating new docbases is quite easy with Documentum but it still takes some time (unless you use silent installations or Docker components). Therefore installing/removing docbases over and over can be a…
In Documentum, there is a parameter named concurrent_sessions which basically defines how many sessions a Content Server can open simultaneously. This parameter is defined in the server.ini file (or server_<dm_server_config.object_name>.ini on a Remote Content Server) of each docbase and it has a default value of 100. An empty Content Server with an IndexAgent and D2 installed (without user using it)…
