A few years ago, I wrote this blog about a WLST script to monitor a WebLogic Server. At that time, we were managing a Documentum Platform with 115 servers and now, it’s more than 700 servers so I wanted to come back in this blog with an update on the WLST script. 1. Update of the WLST script needed Over the past two years, we installed a lot of new servers with a lot of…
A few weeks ago, I had a task to add a new CS into already HA environments (DEV/TEST/PROD) to better support the load on these environments as well as adding a new repository on all Content Servers. These environments were installed a nearly two years ago already so it was really just adding something new into the picture. When doing so, the installation of a new repository on existing Content Servers (CS1 / CS2) was…
When working with xPlore as a Full Text Server (indexing), there are a few ways to perform a full re-index. You can potentially do it from the IndexAgent UI, from the Dsearch UI, from the file system (with an ids.txt file for example, it is usually for a “small” number of r_object_id so that’s probably not an ideal way) or from the docbase (mass-queue, it’s not really a good way to do it either). Performing…
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 created previously. So let’s start, as always, with the preparation of the properties file: [[email protected]_text_server_01…
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) on it. Just like other Documentum components, you can find some silent installation files or…
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 “$DM_HOME/install/silent/silenttool” that can be used to generate a skeleton for a CFS/Remote CS but there…
In previous blogs, we installed in silent the Documentum binaries, a docbroker (+licence(s) if needed) as well as several repositories. In this one, we will see how to install D2 on a predefined list of docbases/repositories (on the Content Server side) and you will see that, here, the process is quite different. D2 is supporting the silent installation since quite some time now and it is pretty easy to do. At the end of the…
In previous blogs, we installed in silent the Documentum binaries as well as a docbroker (+licence(s) if needed). In this one, we will see how to install docbases/repositories and by that, I mean either a Global Registry (GR) repository or a normal repository. As you all know, you will need a repository to be a GR and I would always recommend to setup a GR that isn’t used by the end-users (no real documents). That’s…
In a previous blog, I quickly went through the different things to know about the silent installations as well as how to install the CS binaries. Once the CS binaries are installed, you can install/configure a few more components. On this second blog, I will continue with: Documentum docbroker/connection broker installation Configuration of a Documentum licence 1. Documentum docbroker/connection broker installation As mentioned in the previous blog, the examples provided by Documentum contain almost…
Documentum introduced some time ago already the silent installations for its software. The way to use this changed a little bit but it seems they finally found their way. This blog will be the first of a series to present how to work with the silent installations on Documentum because it is true that it is not really well documented and most probably not much used at the moment. We are using this where possible…
