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 remove one.<\/p>\n
That’s easy, just find the acs.properties file located in:<\/p>\n
$DOCUMENTUM_SHARED\/jboss7.1.1\/server\/DctmServer_MethodServer\/deployments\/acs.ear\/lib\/configs.jar\/config\/acs.properties<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n
In this file you should find the line:<\/p>\n
repository.acsconfig=YOUR_ACS_NAME.comACS1<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n
In fact my previous ACS was named YOUR_ACS_NAME.cACS1 that’s why I think a new one was created. So here you have the ACS used and you just have to remove the other one:<\/p>\n
delete dm_acs_config objects where object_name = ‘YOUR_OLD_ACS_NAME’;<\/p>\n
Fine, now how can we check that the ACS is working properly?<\/p>\n
First you can paste the ACS url i your browser to check if it’s running, it should look like this:<\/p>\n
http:\/\/your-content-server-host:9080\/ACS\/servlet\/ACS<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n
If you installed your method server on another port than 9080, use it.<\/p>\n
You should see the following result (maybe with a different version):<\/p>\n
ACS Server Is Running - Version : 7.2.012.0.0114<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n
If you can’t find the ACS url, login to Documentum Administrator and navigate to:
\nAdministration -> Distributed Content Configuration -> ACS Server
\nIf you right click on it you will see the url at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\nAt this point the ACS is running but is documentum using it properly?<\/h3>\n
In order to verify this point a bit of configuration is needed. Login to the server on which you have DA installed, in the DA application search for a log4j.properties file and add the following lines:<\/p>\n
log4j.logger.com.documentum.acs=DEBUG, ACS_LOG\nlog4j.logger.com.documentum.fc.client.impl.acs=DEBUG, ACS_LOG\nlog4j.appender.ACS_LOG=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender\nlog4j.appender.ACS_LOG.File=${catalina.home}\/logs\/AcsServer.log\nlog4j.appender.ACS_LOG.MaxFileSize=10MB\nlog4j.appender.ACS_LOG.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout\nlog4j.appender.ACS_LOG.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p [%t] %c - %m%n<\/pre>\nYou may have to update the line log4j.appender.ACS_LOG.File.<\/p>\n
Restart the tomcat or whatever webapp server you have. In order to generate logs you’ll have to open a document from DA. Let’s say we have a document called TESTDOC.doc.
\nOnce you open it you’ll have around 3 to 4 lines in AcsServer.log. In order to verify that everything went fine, you should NOT see the following line:
\nINFO [Timer-161] com.documentum.acs.dfc – [DFC_ACS_LOG_UNAVAILABLE] “userName=”test”, objectId=”0903d0908010000″, objectName=”TESTDOC.doc””, skip unavailable “ACS” serverName=”YOUR_ACS_NAME_HERE” protocol “http”<\/p>\nInstead you must have a kind of ticket\/key formed by a lot of letters\/numbers. This step will validate that you have been served by the ACS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
