At some of our customers, we often install new docbases for development purposes which are used only for a short time to avoid cross-team interactions/interferences and this kind of things. Creating new docbases is quite easy with Documentum but it still takes some time (unless you use silent installations or Docker components). Therefore installing/removing docbases over and over can be a…
We had a request by a customer where he wanted the pdf automatic rendition to be disabled but keep allowing the jpeg renditions to be used as thumbnails for D2. The pdf is generated by an eternal tool so it wasn’t needed here. Here is what we did: Login to the ADTS server and edit the following file: <CTS_HOME>configCTSServerService.xml For…
A few weeks ago, on one of our Documentum environments, we find out thanks to our monitoring that the Renditions weren’t generated anymore by our CTS/ADTS Server… This happened in a Sandbox environment where a lot of dev/testing was done in parallel between EMC, the different Application Teams and the Platform/Architecture Team (us). A lot of changes at the same time…
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…
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…
When we upgraded our ADTS 6.7 SP2 into 7.2 we realized how great the new version was! Intro The 7.2 version changed its entire structure and cleared many useless dependencies such as Adlib. Now every files and configurations are stored in one only place! Before we had files dispersed in C:Documentum, in Program FileDocumentum, in Program Files(x86)Adlib and so on.…
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…
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…
