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.
Documentum story. What is behind this story? Normally I should write Documentum Platform story. Indeed dbi services is involved to build and manage a worldwide Documentum Platform. Our part covers all middleware components related to the infrastructure excepting the OS, DB and applications which are managed by other teams. So we installed and manage so far: – 30+ Documentum Servers,…
When several repositories are accessed through the same Java Method Server (JMS), it might be needed to have a different dfc.properties parameters for the D2EventSenderMailMethod depending on the repository. This can be issued using an external Java call to the D2EventSenderMailMethod and setting a different class path to point to the desired dfc.properties. sh -c ‘java -cp “<DOCUMENTUM_SHARED>/shared/d2eventsender/Docbase:$CLASSPATH ” com.emc.d2.api.methods.D2EventSenderMailMethod…
We went to a performance issue and some failed failover regarding the content server and the JMS. Thus we asked EMC for recommendations and it seems that the configuration can be slightly different than the official documentation. Here are the steps for the High Availability configuration for the content server and JMS. At this point you must already have a…
In this blog and for a customer’s requirement (Data Migration), I had to temporarily disable the FIPS on a Content Server 7.2 P05 in order to connect to a repository 6.7 SP2. In fact after adding the 6.7 repository to the docbroker projection list of the CS 7.2, the customer was not able to login and had the following error…
Maybe you had some issues with UCF in DA as me. I had this for no reason since few days at a customer. The problem was that we use SSL with DA and the Unified Content Facilities (UCF) wasn’t happy about it. Thus, in this short blog I’ll speak about troubleshooting UCF. The error I got happened when trying to…
As part of my previous posts about having 2 rendition servers for one docbase (see below), I’ll show you how to simply switch a rendition queue item to the other server – http://dbi-services.com/blog/documentum-multiple-adts-ratio-of-rendition-creations-between-instances-part-1/ – http://dbi-services.com/blog/documentum-multiple-adts-ratio-of-rendition-creations-between-instances-part-2/ I had an issue by a customer where one of the two rendition server was stuck since 2 days. As I explained in my previous…
I had this strange behavior that once upgraded from 6.7 to 7.2 a new ACS was created. I think it’s because the current ACS name didn’t fit the new ACS name pattern. Well it’s not a big issue to have 2 ACS configured. But in my case they pointed both to the same port and servlet so… I had to…
In this blog, I will talk about the setup of an Apache httpd server with/without SSL configuration on top of your Alfresco installation. This way of configuring Apache httpd in front of your Web Application can be reused very easily for all other applications like your intranet, competency center, resource planning, aso… It is NOT specific to Alfresco and this…
I went into a case that I found a kid of ‘Ghost’ index which I may present in another blog. But to summarize I had to get the full list of indexes from the xPlore server. The problem is that there isn’t such a list easily accessible. Hence I wondered, all indexes are stored in a database, what if I…
As an Alfresco developer/administrator, you probably already made a few mistakes in your DEV environment while trying to add new features, a custom model or something like that. The result of that mistake might be a corrupted Database or Content Store. Yes I know it’s hard to recognize it! But then what can be done to solve the issue and…
Different versions of Alfresco can be installed with different versions of Tomcat. Alfresco provide a default version with its installer but when installing Alfresco manually, an administrator can choose to install Alfresco using a different version of Apache Tomcat. Usually, each version of Alfresco is officially supported for only one specific version of Apache Tomcat and that’s fine for some…
He he, long time no see, ADTS… It has been a long time I didn’t go into trouble with ADTS. As the new 7.2 ADTS is pretty well constituted this time the issue came from me, I admit. Once upon a time I had to migrate from ADTS 6.7 to 7.2 for a customer. Everything went fine in DEV, same…
