Documentum – xPlore PrimaryDsearch not responding to curl/wget/browser requests anymore

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 – How to easily remove duplicated xPlore queue items

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… 

OpenText World 2022 – Day3

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…

Documentum – RCS/CFS Upgrade fails due to missing dm_filestore

At a customer having a lot of Documentum environments, I recently faced an interesting issue while upgrading an RCS/CFS to 20.2. The same could potentially reproduce during a standard installation of a RCS/CFS, under certain circumstances (in case there are still some things left in the repository after a removal of the said RCS/CFS and then reinstallation for example, you… 

Documentum – Detect a Repository parent process being killed

There could be several reasons why a Linux process gets killed. Of course, it could be someone using the kill command but, in this blog, I will talk about the Kernel Panic triggered by the Operating System in case it runs out of RAM. I had a case recently, at a customer, where a nginx process going wild caused such… 

Documentum – xPlore 20.2 search not working after repository restart

A little bit more than two years ago, one of our customers started to use Documentum 20.2 (and therefore xPlore 20.2) in custom containers, with all components in SSL/Secure. At first sight, everything seemed to work. However, in case the Repository restarted (for any reasons), then the searches stopped working completely. Basically, there was no problem if the Docbroker and… 

Documentum – RED Warning on D2 after enabling Tomcat HTTP Security Headers

Security is and will always be a very important aspect of IT. Enterprise Content Management (or Document Management Systems or Content Services Platform or whateveryoucallit) is obviously not an exception to that. One of our main goals as a consultant is to add improvements to our customers’ installations for stability, security, and ease of management. However, it happens that not… 

Documentum – ACS not starting because of ActiveMQ on the MethodServer

Documentum is an inexhaustible source of issues and that’s great because I can continuously write blogs on it, and I always have materials for that. In this blog, I will talk about the ACS not being able to start on the MethodServer because of an ActiveMQ error. As you might know, WildFly has been coming with an integrated ActiveMQ for…
