MP Server / Re: How to delete single statements from a CMOD Load File
« on: January 20, 2020, 07:33:05 AM »
Hi ramakanth,

The answer depends a bit on what interface you plan on using.
The most straightforward method would be to find the document(s) you want to delete using arsdoc query with the -I p flags, or the -D flag which also includes some additional system metadata.

You could also use the OnDemand Client and just right-click on a document and select "Properties" to see the (partial) LoadID. (You can "pad" such partial LoadIDs with "-0-0-0" or search for the full LoadID in the OD System Log, which is better)

Or you could use the ODApi to call for such data.

I would strongly suggest against accessing the database directly. First for security reasons, and second if you plan to make changes directly to the database, that's a big no-no.
I suggest you try the arsdoc query method above and get back to us know if you need any more guidance.

Report Indexing / Re: AFP files won't load

The app groups/applications were copied from the 9.5 server to the 10.1 server so they are identical

I've seen instances where "copying" the application group and application objects can produce discrepancies between the copies.  I haven't really nailed this down as to exactly how and when this happens but I've seen "Date(old)" fields change to "Date" fields just from doing a copy, for example.

So I would run an 'arsxml export' on your original App Group and compare that with another 'arsxml export' of the copied App Group to see if there are any differences.

I know this has surprised me before!

If you don't feel like comparing XML files, you could also use the "Compare" functionality in the OD Administrator tool. It highlights any differences found, which makes them super easy to spot.

MP Server / Re: To install FTS server or not?
« on: January 15, 2020, 03:01:10 AM »
Hi, this thread is old, but I do beleive that using the Folder setting "Maximum Hits" to limit the number of documents to, say, somewhere between 10 and 50 in those Folders where you want to enable the "Text Search" functionality would help prevent the worst performance penalties.
I'm sure the more experienced OnDemand guys in here can confirm or deny that this setting indeed sets the limit on the SQL/search field results, before the text search phase is initiated. Thus the number of documents that are actually opened and searched for text is kept low.

If anyone has a test environment, feel free to try it out - run a search that would return far more hits than the Maximum Hits setting, and include a Text Search value as well.

MP Server / Re: Full Text Search
« on: January 15, 2020, 02:42:06 AM »
Hi, I have read somewhere that it IS indeed the same Search Server. But that was a long time ago, so one of the products may have exchanged it's Search Server Engine/vendor since then. Unfortunately, neither I nor one of my colleagues have tested if it is possible to run one FTS server for both FileNet and CMOD. But according to some old docs, it "should" work.
I'll leave the license question unanswered - FTS is a paid option for CMOD, I believe? Whereas for FileNet it is not?
I'll let you know if we install one. :thumbsup:

MP Server / Re: arsdoc retrieve too slow AIX 7.1 CMOD 9.5 DB10.5
« on: November 26, 2019, 04:15:15 AM »
I have another question.
You mentioned that you are exporting from one environment, and these images (IMG1-3) are from when you load them back into the new environment, correct?
It looks like you are loading them using, hmm, the "Graphical PDF Indexer", correct? Or are you using "Internal indexing" (PPDs)?

The load process spends HUGE amounts of time indexing. Therefore, one way to speed up the load would be to use the -g flag during export (arsdoc get ... -g = Create generic indexer file), and then to use the flags -X G (="Find a generic indexing file") during arsload.
From what I can see, the PDF Indexer (which I assume that you are using) does not manage to compress the PDF documents during load. They actually wind up a bit BIGGER than they came, which is not unusual, at least not for smaller files. So you will not lose anything in size by using Generic Indexing instead of PDF Indexing.

WHICH, brings me to the next possible issue. Seeing that OnDemand is unable to compress the multi-document files to any degree makes me suspect that the PDF files may have "PDF Compression" turned on. This is a known factor that slows down OnDemand indexing a lot. Sometimes to a factor of 50 or 100.
Now, since these files are already created and you are just moving them, I guess you can't re-build them. But for future files, talk to the guys creating these PDF files and ask them to turn PDF Compression COMPLETELY OFF. If I recall Bud Paton correct, that is "Level 0 PDF Compression". Yes, the files will be much larger at delivery, but OnDemand should process them a huge lot faster.

I hope that either or both of these tips may help you!

Just a detail; Your "H" column is measuring "Rows per second", so a higher number here is better/faster.
The IMG1 seems to be the slowest, it only indexes 5-7 rows per second, while the other two handle around 25-30 rows per second.
It is not "seconds per row", it's the other way araound.

I haven't seen anything else that looks suspicious in your Images. Yet, at least.

OD/WEK & JAVA API / Re: What is your AFP to PDF Transform of choice?
« on: November 25, 2019, 05:58:53 AM »
Sorry I've been away, right when this issue emerged.
Just like RJRussel, we also use Targetstream for creating the on-the-fly PDFs that users need.

OD/WEK & JAVA API / Re: CMOD Read all priviliges of an Application Group
« on: November 25, 2019, 05:54:26 AM »
Here is an arsxml sample you can test and edit for your own purposes. You need not include user permission if you don't need it.

Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<onDemand xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="C:\IBM\OnDemand\V10.1\xml\ondemand.xsd">

<!-- get application groups -->
  <applicationGroup name="_ALL" >
   <permission user="Admin" />
  </applicationGroup>

</onDemand>

Content Navigator / Re: ICN programming/customization for CMOD help needed
« on: November 25, 2019, 03:59:44 AM »
Ha ha, that's the kind of thinking individual that I like!  ;D

Thanks for the referral, JD.
Actually, our winters here in Stockholm are slightly warmer than Toronto, if that would help motivate him/her.

https://en.climate-data.org/north-america/canada/ontario/toronto-53/#temperature-graph

Then again, if your programmer would happen to be situated in, say, Florida, The West Indies, or any other place with a nice hot climate, we COULD consider sending our consultant there... ;) I'm sure he would not be totally disappointed.  ;)

Content Navigator / ICN programming/customization for CMOD help needed
« on: November 22, 2019, 06:43:38 AM »
(The last part of this post borders another topic header, Job opp's)

We need to get a new developer quickly up to speed on customizing Content Navigator.
On IBM "My Learning", the training materials referred to (to get a badge) are:
* Recommended Reading: IBM Content Navigator V3.0 Knowledge center,
* Optional: Review the "Customizing and Extending IBM Content Navigator" Redbook.
(Plus taking the ICN Intro training)

The RedBook is huge (566 pages) and the examples in the Knowledge Center are mostly cryptic/not well enough documented.

Does anyone know of any place online with short, logical examples with well-documented sample code, where one can learn one thing at a time, to quickly get the geist of it?
So they get up to speed, to be able to then continue with the Redbook, and the more complex and unstructured examples in the Knowledge Base.
(Oh - and preferably for ICN 3.0, not just old 2.x stuff.)

Also, if you have the skills to customize ICN 3.0 and would be willing to hold a paid training onsite or online, please send me a PM!

If we don't hear anything solid from IBM within a year from now, it was merely a rumor.

OD/WEK & JAVA API / Re: Searching mapped folder fields with multiple values
« on: November 20, 2019, 06:38:38 AM »
Hej Nils!

I haven't tried this myself, but what if you use one of the odFolder.search() method formats that accept SQL as input? Wouldn't that allow you to use the "IN" operator freely, thereby allowing you to search both directly for DB values and also to search for multiple values at once?

Example of Method to use:
search(java.lang.String sql)
This method will search the folder.
Example of code, not tested:
odFolder.search("myFolderFieldname IN ('Val1','Val2','non-conformning value','val7')")

I guess you may have already tried this and it fails, just like you have described here?

Vänliga hälsningar,

/Lasse B

Rumor has it that IBM may be building a REST API (services) for OnDemand.
Just wait and see if it's true or not.  :)

« on: November 19, 2019, 06:47:11 AM »
Has anyone tried installing another browser on that same PC and tried it there - does it work?
If not, you might want to consider using the HTML5 viewer instead.

Did you check the "Default apps" settings? In Windows Settings > Apps > Default Apps.
Set it to MS Outlook, it should be in the dropdown list.
