Around six months ago, I faced a confusing issue with IDS Source 16.7.5 where the “config.bin” executable always crashed when I tried to run it. The installation of IDS binaries itself completed successfully without any errors. However, the configurator, which is supposed to set up the required objects inside the Repository, consistently crashed. 1. Environment context and IDS upgrade This…

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…

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…
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…
