Managing documents and working together in the digital workplace: Documentum, M-Files, Alfresco, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams and web platforms. Our consultants write about content management, collaboration, integration and the compliance questions that come with them.
In a previous blog I talked about CMIS in general and showed you what importance it does have in ECM World. In fact, I already experienced CMIS in a project with Documentum and Alfresco involved! The goal was to make the same operations on both ECM from a single interface, so CMIS was the solution. In this blog, I will…
As you know, there is a lot of vendors for Enterprise Content Management systems (ECM) and they all have different interfaces. Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) is a standard for improving interoperability between Enterprise Content Management systems. The vendor-neutral OASIS Web services interface specification published two versions of CMIS v1.0 and v1.1, then the Technical Committee was closed on 09…
In a previous blog, I talked about the automation of the LDAP/LDAPs creation. However, the first time that I applied these steps, I actually faced an issue and I couldn’t really get my head around it, at first. This will be a rather short post but I still wanted to share my thoughts because it might avoid you some headache.…
If you have been working with Documentum, then you probably already created/configured an LDAP/LDAPs Server Config Object (or several) so that your users can be globally managed in your organization. There are several compatible LDAP Servers so I will just take one (Sun One/Netscpae/iPlanet Directory Server). To create this LDAP/LDAPs Server Config Object, you probably used Documentum Administrator because it’s…
In the past several months, I have been working extensively with several other colleagues on a migration of Documentum from VMs to K8s pods. We have been doing/using silent installations for several years already but there were still several manual tasks for the customization of the repository, deployment of some applications, aso… In this blog, I will talk about what…
In a previous blog, I talked about the D2 utility that can be used to automate the registration, approval and global management of the DFC Client IDs and Privileged Clients. The instructions I gave were the optimal (“normal”) ones… However, in reality, this utility or at least the shell script that is supposed to facilitate its execution is kinda bad.…
Recently, I’ve been facing an issue more and more frequently where a Repository cannot register itself to a local/remote Docbroker. The root cause of the issue is simply that the hostname used for the projection to the Docbroker is too long which prevents the Repository to properly register to it. I’ve seen it recently because when working with Kubernetes, you…
FTIntegrity is used to verify indexing after migration or to get a status after a normal indexing. The tool is a standalone Java program that verifies all types that are registered in the dmi_registry_table with the user dm_fulltext_index_user. By default, the utility compares the object ID and i_vstamp between the repository and xPlore. In this blog I will share with…
At a customer we encountered some issues with FT Search after documents migration. In fact, some documents were not indexed correctly or partially indexed, the need was to know which documents are impacted to resubmit the indexing again. The FTIntegrity tool is not able to give the needed result, so the only way was XQuery search. However, this blog is…
In a previous blog, I talked about the possible usage of K8s Services in place of the default headless/pod name and the issues that it brings. This one can be seen as a continuation since it is also related to the usage of K8s Services to install Documentum but this time with another issue that is specific to a RCS/CFS.…
In the past several months, we have been extensively working on setting up a CI/CD pipeline for Documentum at one of our customer. As part of this project, we are using Kubernetes pods for Documentum components. In this blog, I will talk about an issue caused by what seemed like a good idea but finally, not so much… The goal…
A few months ago, I started working with the CS 16.4 (always using silent installation) and I had the pleasant surprise to see a new error message in the installation log. It’s always such a pleasure to lose time on pretty stupid things like the one I will talk about in this blog. So what’s the issue? Well upon installing…
