MP Server / ARSLSYNC Issues

« Last post by JeanineJ on April 23, 2024, 09:10:38 AM »

I'm attempting to run ARSLSYNC on my RHEL7 CMOD 10.5 development box. It's been giving me fits. No matter what I do the only way I'm getting any output is with these settings in ars.cfg
ARS_LDAP_SERVER_TYPE=AD
#ARS_LDAP_USER_FILTER=(&(objectClass=user)(memberOf=CN=CMOD_XXX_Business_dev,"OU=XXXX Groups,DC=xxx,DC=xxxx,DC=xxxxx,DC=com"))
ARS_LDAP_GROUP_USER_FILTER_USE_DN=FALSE
ARS_LDAP_USER_FILTER=(objectClass=user)
ARS_LDAP_GROUP_FILTER=(objectClass=group)
ARS_LDAP_GROUP_MAPPED_ATTRIBUTE=CN
ARS_LDAP_IGN_GROUPS=Security,CMOD_Admin,CMOD_Operations
The above gives me EVERYBODY in AD except CMOD_XXX_Business_dev. I can't get the filters to work to bring in the only group with 4 users into my Dev environment. According to my identity people the group exists in AD and has 4 users defined.
If I attempt to use the USER_FILTER code ARSLSYNC doesn't find the users or group running with the just -t -v options.
Has anyone been successful using ARSLSYNC to provision users in CMOD that are part of Group?
I am in consultation with IBM Lab Services as part of a work effort to authenticate a small group of users accessing documents via the Thick Client via AD and SSL, which is working fine. Lab Services is also looking at the issue as I've sent them the trace and output.
I'm running CMOD MP 10.5.0.5 on a RHEL7 server with DB2 11
I know next to nothing about AD or LDAP.

MP Server / Re: ARSJESD

Hello JMichael -

ARSJESD is the ONLY piece of code from IBM that starts with ARS that isn't supported by the CMOD Level 2 team.

It's supported by the PSF folks (Print Services Facility).

You'll need to open up a problem ticket with them.

MP Server / ARSJESD

« Last post by JMichael on April 19, 2024, 11:29:56 AM »

Hello,
Our problem is with ARSJESD, the files that normally come in after sent from the mainframe get processed and this directory remains empty. We're seeing some file processed correctly and others are not.  We reviewed the capture log file and for the files that are not being removed we noticed the OUTGRP=LAST record is not in the log.  This is what's causing the files to be left behind because the script that removes them never finds the OUTGRP=LAST.  This started after an upgrade to RHEL8.  We think there is an issue with the ARSJESD, can you support. Any info is appreciated.

Report Indexing / Floating trigger + PDF Graphical Indexer

« Last post by jsquizz on April 15, 2024, 01:28:11 PM »

Hi All,

I have a requirement to index a file using the PDF graphical indexer.

I need to capture line by line some fields, that are normally easy to grab using a floating trigger in the ACIF world.

Using a floating trigger now, it creates the green box for the trigger, however when I run the loader - it only picks up the first trigger/field defined.

Is there a way to make this work? I get that the pdf indexer is a bit "out dated" but theres no other solution unfortunately.

Thanks

MP Server / Re: Upgrade RHEL 7.9 to RHEL 9 running with CMOD 10.5, ICN 3.x and WAS 9.0.5

I can't speak for all of IBM -  - but it's fine.  I'd say our opinion is have a perfect backout strategy if the OS upgrade fails.

ok... This comment:

"The following components are running on this Linux RHEL 7.9 server:
IBM Content Navigator 3.0.11
IBM Content Manager OnDemand 10.5.0.5
IBM Websphere Application Server 9.0.5.13 ND?"

This led me to believe everything is on the same server.... Sounds like you have a good distribution, so all is well.   BTW: I just upgraded a server this week from 7.9 to 8.9. No issues. Your mileage may vary.

Thanks for your reply rjrussel,

While I think I understand what you are driving at, what does support mean to you in this case? Ideally, we always recommend new hardware/VMs. It is so much safer of a process.

Good question, I will try to list what I want to know(from top of my mind)

• Is it OK to do so from IBM point of view, or are we performing something here that could lead us "out of support".
• You say you recommend "new hardware/VMs", do you then have any experience where ICN / WebSphere / ODWEK would not function after upgrading the OS?

We also never recommend having all these components on the same server. ICN should be separate from the CMOD server.

We have ODWEK only on this server - bit unclear there yes.
CMOD / DB2 running on separate server.

MP Server / Upgrade RHEL 7.9 to RHEL 9 running with CMOD 10.5, ICN 3.x and WAS 9.0.5

We are about to upgrade our CMOD environment running under RHEL 7.9, to RHEL 9

The following components are running on this Linux RHEL 7.9 server:

• IBM Content Navigator 3.0.11
• IBM Content Manager OnDemand 10.5.0.5
• IBM Websphere Application Server 9.0.5.13 ND

Does IBM software (ICN, WAS and CMOD) support in-place OS upgrade from RHEL7.9 to RHEL9 or should we make a new installations on a new Linux RHEL 9 server and make switch-over from old RHEL 7.9 server to new RHEL 9 server?

Figured this out and verified with our end users.

Right click system parameters, uncheck all boxes, top right

MP Server / Globally disable Annotations?

« Last post by jsquizz on April 05, 2024, 07:22:44 AM »

2600 AG's
100 Groups
100-some users

All have access to annotations. The customer does NOT want this.

Is there a way to globally disable this? Or should I get started on my script.

Thanks!
