Windows Client / Re: documents rotated when viewed in client v. 10.1

« on: June 09, 2018, 09:03:38 AM »

We ran into this issue last year on, the response from IBM was;

If they are using "Autosize" for their Paper Size, that would be the issue. Likely, the page descriptor does not match the physical page. Ricoh (vendor that supplies AFP viewer) changed their algorithm for the orientation calculation of "Autosize" to reflect how the document is actually expected to print. The environment variable "FixedAutoOrientation=TRUE" returns this algorithm to its previous display, but it will do it for all AFP documents.

The customer also has the choice of setting an actual Paper Size instead of using Autosize and then setting the appropriate Orientation.

Ricoh says this algorithm should have always worked this way. So, there is no "fix" coming..
* *
The FixedAutoOrientation=TRUE is a setting that you could add to the MISC section of  ftdport2.ini file.  This can work for the 10.1.0.1 client only.  And you'll need to plan for managing the change as you move forward.

MP Server / Re: Migrate data from 7.1 to 10.1

« on: April 27, 2018, 06:24:37 AM »

when you say migrate data, do you mean the end goal is that you will be physically moving the index and objects from one MP 7.1 server to a different MP server running MP 10.1 ?

OD/WEK & JAVA API / Re: ODWEK - Some PDFs Open Some Don't only way to resolve is reboot

I think I can remember similar problems...  just so long ago, not sure if it was the same issues.  my only suggestion, is that as old as your version is, you are still not at the last version of 7.1

If you can, I'd suggest you go to the last release 7.1.0.15

Content Navigator / Re: ICN to CMOD and CMEE

« on: March 06, 2018, 07:48:24 AM »

And for further clarification, CMEE is Content Manager Enterprise Edition, a.k.a. CMv8.

I'm embarrassed to admit I had to look it up. 

-JD.

you're embarrassed, we are still running CM 7.3 ( on iSeries)

Report Indexing / Re: PDF Indexer of extremely large files - 1.2 million pages

« on: February 20, 2018, 03:11:42 PM »

the largest PDF files I have to deal with are 700MB with 8300 pages, 4 fields. usually 5 minutes to index, 1 minute to load.

MP Server / Re: Alternative delete methods

« on: January 23, 2018, 07:32:33 AM »

Actually, this provides for an interesting solution.  CMOD v10.1 supports encryption.  It would be nice to provide an encryption key for each individual document.  Yes, it would slaughter performance, but it would make each individual document irrecoverable when the row is deleted.  It would also be possible to detect any tampering with an individual load by hashing all of the keys together and storing that hash in the arsload table...

In this scenario, an individual document row could be deleted in the database, eliminating the key, making the document irrecoverable.  A change to an existing document on disk would be impossible without the key from the database.  Any change to the file on disk would break the encryption.  Any row deleted would cause a 'verification' of the load to fail, since the missing key would break the hash in the arsload table.

Anyone care to expand on that idea?

-JD.

perhaps on this line of thinking, during the arsdoc delete, we know the object location, offset and length of the compressed document within the storage object overwrite the bytes.

I would also suggest to look deeper at the -h xxxxxxxx  I've seen this simple mistake made many times.  Make sure it matches up with the instance name in your ars.ini file, it not it will treat it as a host name

MP Server / Re: Viewing reports as AFP rather then PDF

« on: December 03, 2014, 07:08:21 AM »

Bruce,  very common and will require an effort in AFP font mapping...  More than likely your AFP is using mainframe fonts, which do not translate directly to a windows font.  There are plenty of resources on this matter.  Just google "AFP font mapping CMOD".

Bruce,  the monitoring question aside,   but what is happening to cause the server to stop running so often?

iSeries / Re: SQLCODE -519

« on: July 24, 2014, 10:21:54 AM »

are you using custom code to query cmod?  if so can you replicate the same query using the windows client and get the same/differnt result.  it may help to determine if it is a bug on the server side.

Yes,  What you are asking for is documented under "Large Object Support"

Report Indexing / Re: Alternate of arsload

« on: June 09, 2014, 07:26:24 AM »

Kasim,  I think you answered your own question

"Actually i am ok with asload its working  absolutely fine as expected. But still we are looking something better Smiley if possible. may be someone has done this HuhHuh? "

I have not heard of anyone trying to invest in making it better, as it works today.  Better spending time and dollars on the other areas already mentioned in this thread.

Report Indexing / Re: Two different Date format

« on: November 12, 2013, 11:33:14 AM »

Kasim

if you store the date as a string, if you haven't you should also store the date you load the report as a date field to use as your segment date.

Report Indexing / Re: PDF File names

« on: July 24, 2013, 04:55:15 AM »

If you are using NDM (aka connect direct) take advantage of it to preprocess the files to create unique file names before transmitting as an example, put in one more level within the file name instead of ApplicationGroupName.ApplicationName.PDF  try using ApplicationGroupName.ApplicationName.dateand time.PDF each file transfer will have a uniquee name.  I would also use it to post process the file name depending on the size of the file, I would normally send with a temporary name, and once the file is succesfully transferred, then rename it so that the automated load would pick it up.  This will stop failed loads due to a partial file.

you may have a permissions problem with the userid you are searching with.  make sure that is has permissions to access the application group.
