MP Server / Changing retention for historical loads
« on: September 14, 2017, 08:06:03 AM »
I've asked a few questions about arsmaint. Here's where I am at. I'll use an example
AppGroup is linked to TSM storage set. AG settings say-
Cache Data for 60 days
Life and data of indexes - 365 days
So, I run arsmaint for the first time - arsmaint -cd
My docs will be moved off cache to TSM. 295 days later I run arsmaint -cd again. Now my documents are expired, gone, "ca-put"
I'm told that "TSM is handling retention" meaning they are making deletions on the TSM side of the house rather than the CMOD side, which doesn't make any sense to me. In the past I've loaded ALL documents to one storage set (instead of a few year that are defined for 3 year, 5 year, forever..etc..) and then we've ran ARSMAINT..and I guess that's done the trick.
Making sure that documents that are current don't ever expire - is it as simple as changing the "life of data and indexes.." at the AG level?

« on: September 14, 2017, 06:20:53 AM »
Thanks, this has always been a grey area for me. And in discussions with coworkers, both current and past. Some of them with years on me, it was also a grey area for them...arsmaint in general. Since it was usually set a long time ago, and since then people have rotated around and there really was no need to touch what wasn't broken.
So, ARSMAINT will actually expire the database indexes..While TSM will handle the actual deletion of the documents/data.

MP Server / arsmaint flag differences
« on: September 13, 2017, 01:00:46 PM »
Greetings folks,
Can anyone give me a high level idea of the differences in the two arsmaint flags..Ive read the IBM documentation and I cant grasp it.
-d Expire Database
-i Expire Migrated Imported Database Tables
to me they sound the same. Thanks

MP Server / Re: Unable to delete application group
« on: September 13, 2017, 12:49:36 PM »
Figured it out.
Someone has been playing around with TSM in my environment and removed some of the settings under Storage Sets.
Including the name and password ...
Thanks for the guidance though ed.

Looks like its a TSM related issue and Im having some trouble understanding the link between the objects and my TSM configuration.

MP Server / Unable to delete application group
« on: September 13, 2017, 08:08:04 AM »
Hi All,
I made some application groups. Turns out that I cannot delete them for some reason. When I do, heres the message that I am getting in the system log-
SM Error: ANS1353E (RC53) Session rejected: Unknown or incorrect ID entered
, Return Code=53, Reason=0, File=arssmsms.cpp, Line=1141 Srvr->server1<-
I think when I was doing some testing of creating some app groups I picked an old storageset. I don't need these app groups any more and would like to delete them. I tried doing an update via ARSXML which I knew wouldn't work. But why not give it a try?
Any ideas?

MP Server / Re: System Log access / logging
« on: September 07, 2017, 06:47:23 PM »I'd actually run this as an exit -- it allows you to capture precisely the info you want (UserID=SysLogUser1, Msg_Num=65 or Msg_num=66), whereas you'd have to turn on Query/Retrieve logging for all users of the System Log.
Of course, both solutions come with some overhead -- so do lots of performance testing before implementing.
-JD.
I was actually overthinking this. I guess it was more for "the powers to be.." to be able to have access to what a specific user did in the system log. I made a user, threw some query restrictions on the user and restricted access to the things we wouldn't want them looking at. But, I will take a look at the arslog exit. Thanks!

MP Server / System Log access / logging
« on: September 07, 2017, 06:33:21 AM »
Hi All,
I am creating a user that only has access to the system log / system load folders and app groups. However, I want everything that the user searches to be logged (65/66 records). I went to turn this on and noticed that there is no storage set setup for the System Log app group on my system which I believe I've seen before. Is there a better way of doing what I want to do? What if I change the storage set to cache only - library server (1 server environment...)
Thanks

MP Server / Re: What is the best storage method for large quantities of documents 2,5 M per day
« on: August 02, 2017, 12:38:28 PM »
Doesnt sound like your requirement is anything too out of the ordinary. I would run some metrics using the system log to see how much space you use. Export the 87 records into excel, and then come up with your daily use, then take a baseline. Times that by 30 for a month.
A common process I guess you could say would be to keep your documents in cache for X days, 10,15,30,60, etc.. For commonly used application groups for performance reasons. Then, after that threshold has been met..Use ARSMAINT to migrate that into TSM, which should be backed up nightly. Several installs I have worked on have had that kind of backup policy.
Also take into consideration your document types and compression when figuring out how much space you use. I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish here--Could you elaborate?
The first cache file system contains special directories used by Content Manager OnDemand to locate objects from all cache file systems, is it possible to create more than one arscache that fulfills the function of the primary?

Download and install the binaries from Passport Advantage / Partnerworld. Don't run any of the configuration steps / Configurator on windows.
I believe its /opt/IBM/ondemand/V9.0/odwek/jars and theres your jar file that you need. ODWEK is no longer a separate install in 9.5 +

I have used the first method numerous times without fail..
Try switching password and name, see if that works..just curious

Can you index off of "Mail statement to" or is that an image instead of text.
I haven't had a requirement to index a PDF graphically in a few years, but that's how I would have done it
