A bit more than 6 years ago (already), I wrote a series of blogs about the silent install of some standard Documentum component. It included things from the binaries, the Docbroker (Connection Broker), the Repositories (both Primary and Remote), D2 and finally xPlore (binaries, Dsearch and IndexAgent). As of today, the principle is still the same for these components. Of…
Several years ago, I wrote a series of blogs regarding the silent installation of Documentum Components, including for a RCS/CFS (HA part of a Repository). In there, I described the process and gave an example of properties file, with all the parameters that are needed and a quick explanation for each of them. As I described in the previous blogs,…
A few months ago, I was working on automating an LSS installation for a customer so I thought about sharing my experience around that topic… LSS is the Life Sciences product from OpenText (formerly EMC->Dell->OpenText). It can be split into four sub-products, which can be installed independently or all together, depending on the needs. These four products are the LSTMF…
In a previous blog, I explained how it is possible to create an LDAP/LDAPs Authentication Provider on WebLogic. My initial goal wasn’t just to setup an LDAP/LDAPs on WebLogic Server. That was only a first step needed in order to automate the setup of a SAML2 Single Sign-On linked with the authentication from a LDAPs. Therefore, in this blog, we…
In a previous blog, I explained how it is possible to create an LDAP/LDAPs connection from a Documentum Content Server automatically/silently (without any need for a GUI). So I thought I would do the same thing but from a WebLogic Server to have the full chain from the Application to the backend, all connected to the LDAP/LDAPs. This blog isn’t…
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.…
In previous blogs, we installed in silent the Documentum binaries (CS), a docbroker (+licence(s) if needed), several repositories (here and here), D2 and finally the xPlore binaries & Dsearch. This blog will be the last one of this series related to silent installation on Documentum and it will be about how to install an xPlore IndexAgent on the existing docbase/repository…
In previous blogs, we installed in silent the Documentum binaries (CS), a docbroker (+licence(s) if needed), several repositories (here and here) and finally D2. I believe I only have 2 blogs left and they are both related to xPlore. In this one, we will see how to install the xPlore binaries as well as configure a first instance (Dsearch here)…
In previous blogs, we installed in silent the Documentum binaries, a docbroker (+licence(s) if needed), several repositories and finally D2. In this one, we will see how to install remote docbases/repositories to have a High Availability environment with the docbases/repositories that we already installed in silent. As mentioned in the first blog of this series, there is a utility under…
