Report Indexing / Re: Ignore 2GB File Limit with Daemon

« on: April 11, 2023, 06:30:43 AM »

Exporting it in the profile of the account that runs the process (or in the shell script that starts the arsload daemon) is the right way forward.

MP Server / Re: Sectrum Protect Version 8.1.8.0 Move from Windows Server to Red Hat 8.6

« on: March 25, 2023, 04:55:42 PM »

Hey Dani.

You might get more help from the mailing list & forums dedicated to ADSM / TSM / Spectrum Protect at ADSM.org.

As for architectural issues, you can absolutely run TSM and CMOD on the same server, but you'll want to add more RAM and CPU.  You may want to keep them separate if you have a very high level of transactions, to help spread the load across separate servers.

Alternately, you could migrate the data to any number of the cloud storage options, or even just a plain filesystem if your storage is in the sweet spot.

How much data do you have stored in TSM, or do you have a tape library?

I'd like to request robust SQL support with access to all fields in the table, for those of us who do "interesting" things.

Report Indexing / Re: Character removal question

« on: February 23, 2023, 07:43:43 AM »

Hrm.  Interesting question.

It depends on how you want to 'normalize' the document metadata, so that you can ensure the maximum level of success in FINDING a document you're searching for. 

In the vanilla thick client & ICN, since there's not a lot of options for modifying queries entered by end users to match specific formats (like a US Social Security Number or phone number) it's probably best to just store them as a series of digits in a string.  It doesn't make sense to treat them as numbers -- because you won't be doing comparisons like greater-than or less-than.

If you ensure that SSNs are loaded with spaces, dashes, or dots removed, then ensure that spaces, dashes, or dots are removed at query time, you're dramatically increasing the chance that someone can find what they're looking for.

Hope that helps.

You may also find this interesting if you're loading CMOD Generic Index files, and doing character removal at load time to normalize data:  https://cmod.wiki/index.php?title=Default_Values_and_the_Generic_Indexer

Content Navigator / Are you interested in CMOD + ICN + Datawatch RMS?

« on: February 15, 2023, 03:30:40 PM »

I've got a customer who is upgrading their entire ECM portfolio, and wants to see ICN v3 + Datawatch RMS support.

I'm wondering who else is in the same boat.

If you don't want to post publicly, just send me a DM, eMail, or give me a call.

MP Server / Re: New Date Format CMOD 10.5

« on: January 19, 2023, 02:51:55 PM »

Hi Dani.

Querying mixed date formats isn't going to be easy - it's best left to CMOD by using the arsdoc query command.

If you're going to insist on running the queries in SQL, check out the wiki article on date formats:
  https://cmod.wiki/index.php?title=Date_and_Time_formats_in_Content_Manager_OnDemand

You're going to need to determine which tables have old-style date formats and new-style date formats, then convert as appropriate.  There appears to be a built-in function in CMOD called ODDAT that handles the special cases around the different date formats, but I'm not sure that's available to you in DB2.

Let us know how it goes!

MP Server / Re: Sample Post Processor - Email when a file loads

« on: January 10, 2023, 08:05:15 AM »

Two options that I can see...

A wrapper around arsload that checks the output for successful load message numbers, or arslog.

MP Server / Re: does IBM CMOD 10.5 support OCI as its archive storage solution

« on: January 06, 2023, 11:50:50 AM »

If it's not listed, it's not supported.  You can enter it as an enhancement request here on the forums, or talk to your IBM Rep to request it through the official channels.

However, 'unsupported' doesn't mean 'won't work'.  If the APIs are identical to AWS S3 APIs, then CMOD should be able to store and retrieve data from it.  More advanced functions (WORM, etc.) may not be compatible.

If you do go down this path, you'll need to test it extensively.

Consider using arslog to write load failures to a specific directory, and process them hourly/daily?

Other / Re: CD-ROM installations and missing file

« on: November 24, 2022, 09:34:48 AM »

Probably better off to download an old version of the client and try to use that to access the CD ROM as a server.

Clients prior to v8.5 can be found here:

Wow.  That's second only to a customer's system administrator *uninstalling* the TSM Client from the server without telling anyone...  Ouch.

I'm happy to hear you're back online!

It's hard to tell, but I'd start with checking the TSM config file directory to see if there have been any changes you didn't know about:

Code: [Select]

# List the directory in reverse chronological order:
ls -ltr /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/
# See the contents of the TSM Options and System file:
cat /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/dsm.opt
cat /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/dsm.sys
