OpenText Documentum as our consultants run it: installation, upgrades, Content Server, D2, xPlore, administration, scripting and troubleshooting.
In my last post, I explained how to configure Kerberos for a CS 6.7 SP1. Unfortunately if you only configure the Content Server, it will almost be useless… If you want this configuration to be useful, then you will also have to configure the Kerberos SSO for the Documentum Foundation Services (DFS). That’s why in this blog post I will…
In a previous post, I shared some tips to configure the Kerberos SSO with Documentum D2 3.1 SP1. Since that day, I worked on different projects to also setup the Kerberos SSO on some other components of Documentum. In this post I will try to explain in detail what need to be done to configure the Kerberos SSO for the…
I ran into a strange issue by a customer. When trying to open a huge VD on the D2’s right panel the browser freezes. It seems to be due to an Internet Explorer security patch.

This was a more day of networking with EMC partner contact and third party software editors. On the other side I attended a session about D2 news and what is comming next. EMC divided D2 enhancements by 3 main major themes. First was about productivity and a modern look and feel with: graphical workflow widget drag and drop from D2…
This is the second part of my previous blog concerning rendition creation ratio between two ADTS servers. In this part I will talk about another way of getting this ratio. In addition this one doesn’t require to enable auditing and this way is preferable concerning database space footprint. DMR_CONTENT This method uses objects that already exist in the docbase and…
I recently realized there are very few information about multiple ADTS instances installation and management. And we have a customer which has two ADTS running for one docbase. I therefore decided to write a couple of blog posts on “Multiple ADTS”, since it is likely to be helpful for someone in the same situation. Rendition processing & ADTS instance…
During a migration from D2-Config 3.0 to D2-Config 4.1, we have encountered 2 issues. In order to have a clean installation and the insurance of being able to backup the configuration, we have decided to perform a full config export on D2-Config 3.0 and a full import with a configuration reset to D2-Config 4.1. 1. Configuration export The first issue…
The Documentum D2 3.1 SP1 release is kind of a mix between D2 4.1 APIs (using D2FS in backend) and D2 3.1 front-end. It needs SSO to be fully implemented and the configuration has to be applied for 3.1 as well as for D2FS. For D2FS, the same configuration applies whether you are using the NT Lan Manager (NTLM) or…

Documents in checked-out state continued to be displayed with the normal icon, even if xPlore indexed attribute value for “r_lock_owner”. This attribute contains the user name who has checked-out the document. In the following picture, you can see the search result…
ADTS local user or domain user: Which user should I choose as the installation owner? This question is important if you are installing a new Advanced Document Transformation Services (ADTS). You can opt for a domain user in order to have one user for several ADTS installations with less AD management. Or you may want to opt for local users…
We planned to do our full production upgrade in a weekend – and one part was the replacement of FAST by xPlore. As we had to index more than 10 millions objects, we had to find a solution where the full repository would be indexed by Monday morning. Since we used a clone of production to validate and test our…
