OpenText Documentum as our consultants run it: installation, upgrades, Content Server, D2, xPlore, administration, scripting and troubleshooting.
So today is the second day of the Momentum 16 in Barcelona and as expected, this day contained many more technical presentations and discussions than the first day. I attended several interesting presentations and hackathon/hands on sessions as well so I haven’t really had time to rest today. So first thing in the morning, I started with a two…
As described in my last post related to Momentum 16, I was excited to see the session “What’s new in Documentum 7.3”. Do not worry, I could slept last night. But are my expectations fulfilled? So yesterday I wrote about PostgreSQL which will decrease the cost of the DB licensing and then your TCO. It seems that based on…
The aim of this blog is to provide you a way to configure the JMS Logs in order to align all applications logging with date information, log rotation and retention. Some changes have to be done on the jboss container as well as on the log4j utility for each deployed JMS applications (acs.ear, serverapps.ear and bpm.ear). General configuration First, go…
In a previous blog (click here), I described how to setup the DSearch and IndexAgent(s) in HTTPS using the Groovy script provided by EMC in newer versions of Documentum. This script is quite cool because it will allow you to automatically do some stuff like updating the xml configuration files, put the java keystore in the right location and configure…
In one of our project, we were using CS 7.2 P02 (upgraded later with P05) in correlation with xPlore 1.5 P02. With these versions, we wanted to setup the IndexAgents in HTTPS to have a completely secured environment. We choose to follow the xPlore documentation and use the Groovy script that EMC is now providing to facilitate the setup in…
In this blog, I will show you how to setup the Primary DSearch and IndexAgent in HTTPS for xPlore 1.5. The documentation about that is available on the EMC WebSite as always and the pdf name is: “xPlore 1.5 Installation Guide.pdf”. The reason why I wanted to wrote this blog is because the documentation is not too bad but there…
In this blog, I will talk about the Thumbnail Server. It’s a component of Documentum that you can install on the Content Server to generate… thumbnails! Basically what it does is that it will work in correlation with the ADTS/CTS in order to generate different kinds of previews of your document. For example jpeg_lres (low resolution) or jpeg_story (StoryBoard). You…
Some time ago, I was working on the preparation of an upgrade of a Content Server and everything was working fine so I was about to begin but just before that I checked our monitoring interface for this environment to crosscheck and I saw the following alerts coming from the log file of the docbases installed on this CS: 2016-04-05T10:47:01.411651…
I’ve been patching around some xPlore servers for a while and recently I went into an issue regarding the ftintegrity tool. Maybe you figured it out as well, for xPlore 1.5 Patch 15 the ftintegrity tool available in $DSEARCH_HOME/setup/indexagent/tools was corrupted by the patch. I think for some reason the libs were changed and the tool wasn’t able to load…
When you have an installation with one Content Server (CS) you do not take care where the job will be running. It’s always on your single CS. But how should you configure the jobs in case you have several CS? Which jobs have to be executed and which one not? Let’s see that in this post. When you have to…
When using xPlore with Documentum, you will need to setup a DSearch which will be used to perform the searches and this DSearch uses in the background an Xhive Database. This is a native XML Database that persists XML DOMs and provide access to them using XPath and XQuery. In this blog, I will share the steps needed to change…
Some months ago when installing/removing/upgrading several Documentum components, we ended up facing a strange issue (yes I know, another one!). We were able to see these specific errors during the installation or removal of a Docbase, during the installation of a patch for the Content Server, the installation of the Thumbnail Server, aso… The errors we faced change for different…
