OpenText Documentum as our consultants run it: installation, upgrades, Content Server, D2, xPlore, administration, scripting and troubleshooting.
When working with any ECM solution, you will have to manage a rendition software. This is used to transform the native documents from most formats (docx, pptx, xlsx, txt, jpeg, png, svg, etc.) into another format (pdf, png, etc.). The rendition can then be used for a multitude of use-cases: thumbnails, previsualization purposes online/in a browser, for security/conformity to certain…
During an upgrade project of xPlore from 16.4 to 20.2 at a customer, I faced a quite interesting issue with the xPlore CPS (Content Processing Services) that couldn’t start properly and were, therefore, shown as “UNREACHABLE“. The funny thing is that the Java/WildFly processes of the PrimaryDsearch and CPS were properly running, and it was possible to login to the…
A couple year ago at a new customer, I was asked to install a new xPlore IndexAgent on an existing Documentum 16.4 environment. Unfortunately, that installation didn’t succeed, and I ended up with the following install logs: As you probably know, xPlore 16.4 is now quite old and it was still a version that came out-of-the-box with the Oracle JDK…

A few weeks ago, I faced an issue at a customer where xPlore PrimaryDsearch would stop responding to curl/wget/browser requests from time to time. The impacted environments were containers (pods) hosted on Kubernetes. At this customer, we were in progress of migrating their standalone xPlore installations (also on pods) to Multi-Node, meaning that before, there was only 1 pod containing…
Documentum is usually working pretty well with xPlore when it’s about managing its queue on well configured environments and/or with “simple” repositories. Basically, as long as you do not only have very big/complex documents (e.g.: 500Mb excel files with hundreds of thousands of rows) or a lot of customizations that aren’t very optimized or intensive components like a full Life…
The Great Reunion as named by OpenText was really GREAT and today was the last day 🙁 As there was less sessions for me I took more time today to discuss and exchange with different participants from OpenText, Customers, and Partners. First of all, we start the day by a “Breakfast In America” which – I must confess – is…
