Documentum Interactive Delivery Services or IDS is a Documentum product that can be useful to publish some documents to an external web server or something similar. It usually works rather well, even if there hasn’t been much changes in the product in years, maybe because it does what it is supposed to do… As a big fan of Linux systems,…
As you probably know, Documentum introduced the optional use of a Lockbox since version 7. It was done initially to contribute to the security of the AEK key which is one of the central components of a Content Server. Time showed that, well, it’s not so easy and since then, nothing much changed on the Lockbox layer. With the version…
Last year, we started to upgrade some Documentum Administrator from 7.2 to 7.3 and directly after, we started to see some NullPointerException on the log files. We are using DA 7.3 on some recent WebLogic Servers versions (12.1.3, 12.2.1.2). We usually deploy DA as a WAR file (so not exploded) with just the dfc.properties, keystores and logs outside of it.…
When working with the IDS, you might face some interesting behaviors as mentioned in the last blog I wrote for example. This one will focus on the SSL part of the IDS on the target side. On this blog, I will start with showing the content of our start/stop scripts and how it is working in non-SSL, then switching to SSL…
In this blog, I will talk about an issue with the IDS 7.3 which is installed on a Content Server 7.3. The IDS is the Interactive Delivery Services. It is a product provided by OpenText that needs to be installed on a Content Server (for the “Source” part) and on a Target Server (for the “Target” part). The IDS can…
In the last two blogs I posted, I mentioned that I was working on silent installations with CS 7.3 (in HA). The “issue” (it’s more like a common mistake) I will describe in this blog is linked to the HA installation. You can face that using the silent or GUI installation, it doesn’t matter. To replicate this behavior, it’s pretty simple:…
As mentioned in this blog, I was recently installing a new 7.3 P05 environment. Actually, this environment was in HA and it was the first silent installation of a Remote Content Server for me. I already created a lot of blogs related to issues with the CS 7.3 but since this was my first RCS 7.3 installation, I was kind…
Beginning of this month, I was building a new environment in 7.3 P05 (using silent installation but this isn’t relevant here) and I found a strange behaviour from the dmqdocbroker so I wanted to share that. You will see below an error message “Input has special characters …”. This is specific to the CS 7.3 for which we opened a…
As described in my last post related to Momentum 16, I was excited to see the session “What’s new in Documentum 7.3”. Do not worry, I could slept last night. But are my expectations fulfilled? So yesterday I wrote about PostgreSQL which will decrease the cost of the DB licensing and then your TCO. It seems that based on…
