MP Server / Re: ARSLOAD Getting ARS4305E Error

« on: July 25, 2019, 04:20:41 AM »

in your arsload command, you should not submit with the .ind file extension.  "loaddata.0.Fatca_07A.Fatca_07A.ind" should be "loaddata.0.Fatca_07A.Fatca_07A"

The error
2019-07-24 17:25:41.371081: ARS4305E Generic Indexer requires the data to have already been indexed.  Index the data or verify your input file and resubmit the job
2019-07-24 17:25:41.371199: ARS4318E Processing failed for file >loaddata.0.Fatca_07A.Fatca_07A.ind<

in your case, for the load it it would be looking for an index file  loaddata.0.Fatca_07A.Fatca_07A.ind.ind

MP Server / Re: Ondemand - data restoration after removing app gr

« on: June 26, 2019, 04:28:35 AM »

My feelings on the subject, are that deleting an application group through an admin interface is not part of normal maintenance.

as you stated " it possible to remove application group quite easily after confirmation"  and as an admin I want it to be easy at that point.  To make such a mistake a person had to confirm more than once...  logging into admin client, delete app group, provide admin id and password, then choose okay on panel stating how many objects are stored.

I am not sure how it can be accomplished to delete afterwards through the normal expiration policy (when you are deleting objects that do not fall into the expiration policy).

In the few cases i have seen this scenario, we would either, restore from the backups (assuming there was no activity after the deletion), or if no backup to restore from export the app group definitions  from UAT or backup servers and then spool up objects from backup and reload into production.

Windows Client / Re: Admin client 9502 - Adding new user fails

« on: May 29, 2019, 03:59:54 AM »

I've seen this happen a long time ago when there were 2 admins trying to add new users at the same time from different locations.  As JD pointed out,  starting with the newer client always seems to help.

ARS6107I 3032 document(s) have been queried. Retrieving 1 document(s).

Anyone else think this is weird?  3032 *found*, but only 1 to be *retrieved*.

-JD.

JD - I wonder if the message is worded wrong,   -c  should concatenate all documents into a single output file,

iSeries / Re: Can CMOD 9.5 and 10.1 run on same AS400?

You can run multiple instances on the same AS400.  But you cannot have 2 different versions.

Look into using the ARSRPT utility.  We run the report on a daily basis and load it back into CMOD.

I think JD is referring to the licensed product on the iSeries server.

if you work with licensed programs you should see the following;
5770RD1   *INSTALLED   Content Manager OnDemand PDF Indexer

on my install arspdf32.api is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\plug_ins

MP Server / Re: Listing of Load IDs with Index Values

« on: March 15, 2019, 04:38:34 AM »

If you are looking for duplicate 'load' files, an option could be to use the system load folder.  It provides the load id, Input file name, and input size.

OD/WEK & JAVA API / Re: What is your AFP to PDF Transform of choice?

« on: January 23, 2019, 02:42:26 PM »

I last used the IBM Printing Systems AFP2PDF about 15 years ago, back then it was easy to install, and just worked without any care and feeding.

The last 6 years I have been using the Crawford Pro AFP to PDF transform, again easy to use, a few support issues came up in projects.
In each case, engaged their support team, and always had a fix without impacting timelines for production roll out.

No production issues with the product, regularly transforming 100,000+ documents per day for presentment.

MP Server / Re: How to delete single statements from a CMOD Load File

« on: January 09, 2019, 06:32:37 AM »

Or even simpler than that (without playing with indexes, or whatever offser/length fields)

- Get the LoadID where the document you want to unload is (let say in old format: 123-123FAAA-1-0-12345-12345)
- Remove the index you don't want (arsdoc delete)
- retrieve all the documents from the LoadID from first step (arsdoc get -c -X loadID ...)
- archive the what you have retrieved in the previous point (arsload -X G -g ... -a ... ) You will have duplicates after this step is finished
- unload the whole original LoadID (that you took in the first step) (arsadmin unload -L LoadID -g ... )

Of course each of these steps must be successful in order to go to the next step, otherwise you will have lost documents! So again backup backup backup before trying/testing/... !

And of course after this method the LOAD will be different that the original one, so if you keep a database/file of the loadids... you might be careful with that method.
Basically this method is used by the CMOD module called ERM (Enhanced Retention Management), which gives you also a new LoadID!!

One thing to be aware of with this procedure; backups and testing are the key and really know your environment.

If indexes have been updated after they were loaded, OD will not retrieve those when using ARSDOC GET with the loadid.
 
I found this out while trying to build my own version of ERM. 

There is workaround (just not as simple as -X) instead of by Loadid  , using  -i "WHERE doc_name LIKE '*****FAA%'" and -s ****

Report Indexing / Re: INDEX FIELDS REFERENCE OUTSIDE OF THE RECORD

« on: December 14, 2018, 06:15:03 AM »

I regularly work with large files in the 500MB - 1GB range.  And notepad does not cut it when trying to work on problems.  Try and use a more powerful editor, I've used Ultraedit for years, but I am sure there are many others with similar functions.  In a case like this, I would do a search (on the same value you TRIGGER on) in the editor with a count function.  And then use that to go the the #record  where you have the problem.  it could also be that your problem is that field is outside the record length.

Report Indexing / Re: Load from ARSDOC GET

« on: August 23, 2018, 04:33:07 AM »

what is the Data Type for the document that you are Getting?    (check Application definition, view information tab).  In our shop it would normally be AFP, so I would just change the document file extension to .afp and use an AFP viewer.

for the date format question, you need to update the application (change the Application, Load information tab). Change the Format of your date field to %Y-%m-%d  (or when in the field, press help, then choose Date and Time formats, they will all be listed)

You may be able to get some of what you are looking for, from the ARSRPT utility...  but as Justin pointed out, its a lot of work.
