MP Server / Re: Temporarily specifying ARS_TMP

« on: October 04, 2021, 04:18:34 AM »

Huh.  Good question.  I'm not sure if it's the client process or the server process that uses ARS_TMP -- I would suspect it's the server, since it's in the server's ars.cfg file.

You might be able to override it on the client side, by exporting the ARS_TMP environment variable with your preferred value...

Immediately before the command you're running, use the export command:

Code: [Select]

export ARS_TMP=/arsacif/tmp
arsdoc / arsload etc. etc.

MP Server / Re: migrating from DB2 to Oracle

« on: September 28, 2021, 09:16:28 AM »

It should be possible to migrate the database tables directly and keep everything else...  I know that date format fields will be a problem since they're different between DB2 and Oracle.

Yeah, everything looks fine with the ini file - I'd have to guess there's still something wrong with the Oracle config.

I think that post was by Alessandro.  The only snag is, he was a prolific poster, so going through his history would take some time, and the instructions would be dated as he left the forums a few years ago.

MP Server / Re: Error when trying to uninstall PDF Indexer on 9.5

« on: September 27, 2021, 07:32:46 AM »

Looks like an intstaller file is bad or inaccessible.

You don't appear to be running as root -- maybe that's why.

Hey Joe...

Can we see the contents of the ars.ini file?

iSeries / Re: changing to single table strategy deletes (empy) old table on creating new one

« on: September 13, 2021, 08:55:35 AM »

Hi David, no, there's about 100 posts in the iSeries forum.  Not sure why you're nor seeing them. 

Try this link to see all the posts you haven't already read:

Otherwise, send me a DM or eMail and we'll try and figure it out.

Report Indexing / Re: Indexing PPD's - ARSPDOCI 9.5.0.10 completed code 4

« on: September 13, 2021, 06:18:50 AM »

Yup, sounds like a classic race condition.  Try running with one first.

Also, consider creating a 'wrapper' script for arsload, something that checks to see that the PDF file is 5 minutes old before kicking off the process.  Also, if both processes are pulling from the same directory, you'll need to figure out a way to 'lock' a specific file, so the other process doesn't start loading it while the other one is working on it.

iSeries / Re: changing to single table stragegy deletes (empy) old table on creating new one

I don't think this is unusual behaviour.  If the table was empty, CMOD cleaned it up.

As for the topics in the forum, they're still there.  Check to make sure you're not 'hiding' the topics you've already read by using the "Show unread posts since last visit" link in the top left corner of the page.  You can double-check by clicking this direct link to the iSeries forum:  http://www.odusergroup.org/forums/index.php/board,12.0.html

Report Indexing / Re: PDF Indexer

« on: September 08, 2021, 10:44:20 AM »

Hey Steve... 

Sorry, your question doesn't make sense...  It's like asking how to turn a screw with a hammer -- you're using the wrong tool for the job.

If you want to load text, use ACIF.  If you want the text converted to PDF, you need to do that transformation yourself, before you try and load it into CMOD.

Can you give us a little more background on what you're trying to do?

Also, I'm going to move this question to a more appropriate section.

OD/WEK & JAVA API / Re: Connection between ODWEK and Library Server.

« on: September 08, 2021, 10:41:14 AM »

Without SSL, the CMOD communications aren't secure, merely "obscure".  I've managed to reverse engineer the method used to hide passwords in unencrypted connections.  For systems where there are multiple hops (web browser to web server, web server to CMOD server) they should all use some flavour of SSL/TLS/HTTPS to protect data in transit.

Windows Client / Re: Data update validation

« on: September 08, 2021, 09:11:28 AM »

Hi Lars. 

The only thing you can really do in this situation is rely on CMOD to send back an error message when you submit bad data (too long, wrong data type, etc.).  In terms of writing something to do data verification, you could do something basic at the server command line, but that probably involves almost as much effort as writing something with the ODWEK Java API.

MP Server / Re: Breaking up individual loads

« on: August 26, 2021, 01:23:36 PM »

I'd consider retrieving each file individually if the volumes are low.  Maybe pull them by date if that results in smaller groups?

You have to do some analysis and talk to the transform vendor about their capabilities.

MP Server / Re: CMOD data retention and external storage managers - Azure

« on: August 26, 2021, 01:21:59 PM »

Can't help with an answer, but I'm just here to give moral support and raise my hand as being interested in the question.

If you're migrating to cloud storage, I'd almost consider reloading it to get some of the latest features - document hashes, docid's, encryption, etc.  At the same time, I'd be batching your documents up in multiple-gigabyte sizes and switch to expiration by load.

Also, I haven't looked at it lately, but I thought TSM has started supporting S3-compatible storage as well - maybe just add another level of storage there?  It depends heavily on your TSM infrastructure too...  So many questions...
