Introduction Nowadays, restful APIs are used in any product, almost. In the era of web services, it is normal to have the same for documentum. In this blog I’ll show you a part of this API for documentum, how to test it, how to use it, and what could be done with it. Installation In order to install the Documentum REST API, download the war file from OpenText website and put it into an application…
This blog will go straight to the topic. When upgrading/installing your content server to 7+, you may experience an internal error with a popup telling you to look into a file called something like: DBTestResult7092863812136784595.tmp In fact, the installation process failed to test the database connection. Even if it managed to find your schema previously. In the file you’ll find something like: Last SQL statement executed by DB was: #0 0x00000033b440f33e in waitpid () from…
Java9 is on its way now, in this blog I’ll talk about the new features I found interesting, the performances and so on. Configure Eclipse for Java9 Prior to Eclipse Oxygen 4.7.1a, you’ll have to configure eclipse a little bit to make it run your Java9 projects. Add in eclipse.ini after –launcher.appendVmargs -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9.0.4\bin\javaw.exe Still in eclipse.ini add: –add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM You should have something like this: –launcher.appendVmargs -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9.0.4\bin\javaw.exe -vmargs -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6 -Xms40m…
We had issues with our indexing server when launching batches of indexes to the queue, in the xPlore server. The indexing was taking so much time to index documents and almost all queue items fell down to the warning/error state. In addition, our file system was growing too fast : 100Go for only 30.000 docs. I was like the temp folders weren’t cleared properly. And in other hand the queue was telling that the temp…
After patching our D2 we ran into an error we never had before. After all, it’s only a patch. But as you know, patching D2 means recreating the war file and deploying it again. As well as setting up again all the customs you made… Well this time we had a popup when accessing the D2 interface, which said “Error while fetching repositories”. That means D2 wans’t even able to load the list of available…
When installing D2 and launching the tomcat server you can have an error on a missing lib: JSAFE_SecureRandom. Here’s the trace you can have: 2018-01-17 17:32:19 [DEBUG] [localhost-startStop-1] – c.e.c.d.contents.D2FileCleaningTracker : Init D2FileCleaningTracker with /pkgs/dms-tomcat/D2_TOMCAT_HOME/temp/D2FileCleaningTracker_D2.ser 2018-01-17 17:32:20 [ERROR] [localhost-startStop-1] – c.emc.d2fs.dctm.servlets.D2HttpServlet : LoadOnStartup – java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/rsa/jsafe/JSAFE_SecureRandom 2018-01-17 17:32:20 [ERROR] [localhost-startStop-1] – c.emc.d2fs.dctm.servlets.D2HttpServlet : {} java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/rsa/jsafe/JSAFE_SecureRandom at com.documentum.fc.client.security.impl.InitializeKeystoreForDfc.execute(InitializeKeystoreForDfc.java:46) [dfc.jar:na] at com.documentum.fc.client.security.internal.KeystoreMgr.initForDfcWithDefaultPolicy(KeystoreMgr.java:71) [dfc.jar:na] at com.documentum.fc.client.security.impl.IdentityManager.initFromKeystore(IdentityManager.java:139) [dfc.jar:na] at com.documentum.fc.client.security.impl.IdentityManager.<init>(IdentityManager.java:41) [dfc.jar:na] at com.documentum.fc.impl.RuntimeContext.<init>(RuntimeContext.java:52) [dfc.jar:na] at com.documentum.fc.impl.RuntimeContext.<clinit>(RuntimeContext.java:185) [dfc.jar:na] at…
Sometimes you have java processes or even jboss servers using a lot of CPU. In my example I had an xPlore dsearch server using like 98% of the cpu. When using jconsole and jvisualvm I figured out the garbage collector was using 50 to 60% of the cpu time. This was because the server was indexing and accessing the internal DB very often. Hence a lot of objects were created, the JVM was not correctly…
In order to start index agents, you have several ways, depending on how you need to start them. 1. Use the documentum job dm_FTIndexAgentBoot. If you setup start_index_agents=T in the server.ini, the job will be called when the docbases are started. 2. Use the web interface: Login to http://server:9200/IndexAgent/ with docbase credentials and select “Start in normal mode” 3. Login to DA and go to Indexing Management -> Index Agents and Index Servers Right click…
The Trusted Content Services is a pack of features that you can enable/purchase to gain more security for your Content Server. The main key features are listed in this documentation: https://www.emc.com/collateral/software/data-sheet/h3138-security-ds.pdf In our case, we wanted to benefit from the Repository Encryption feature: Repository Encryption: Documentum TCS prevents intruders from accessing information even if they obtain unauthorized access to repository files at the file-system or storage level. This capability protects content against an operating system…
