MP Server / Re: PDF from ARSDOC GET can see only one file

« on: March 01, 2024, 03:29:58 AM »

Hi Justin,

Thank you.
It seem arspdoci used for managed pdf indexer for CMOD loading (Like a pdf indexer that use in Admin Client to setup index position from PDF document)
But what I find out is how to cut PDF by offset/lenght specified in .ind file from arsdoc get.

Thank you

Hi Justin,

Thank you for your reply.
Yes, I quite okay with generic index file because I often to use for loading PDF and other types to CMOD.

The generic index file that I have ever used as below format. (Offset=0, Length=0)

Code: [Select]

...
GROUP_OFFSET:0
GROUP_LENGTH:0
GROUP_FILENAME:File1.pdf
               
...
GROUP_OFFSET:0
GROUP_LENGTH:0
GROUP_FILENAME:File2
...


But I mentioned about PDF merge files that got from arsdoc_get, they're not append file2, file3, ... to page 2, page 3, ...
But it append/build something like a layers or binary combined.

Indexer has reference to same file but changed on offset and length

Code: [Select]

...
GROUP_OFFSET:0
GROUP_LENGTH:102187
GROUP_FILENAME:PDF-TIV2.pdf.0.PDF-TIV2.PDF-TIV2.out
               
...
GROUP_OFFSET:102187
GROUP_LENGTH:681891
GROUP_FILENAME:PDF-TIV2.pdf.0.PDF-TIV2.PDF-TIV2.out
...

Do you know or can share document that explain about this PDF's specification or utllity to split it back to original?

You may use DB2HADR for sync CMOD database, but you need another technic to managed arscache, one thing is storage replicate

But I never use DB2 HADR with CMOD, only storage replication for all (Both DB2, arscache)
I have some customer install CMOD, DB2 on 2 sites, and put data to SAN Storage.
In normal case, this storage will mounted on production, replicate to DR, and mount to DR on disaster case. (Then start services)

One issue that cannot prevent in this scenario is data corruption, destination will got same data from source storage.
Another point is RPO, since DB replicate by storage, so some last transaction that's incomplete may lost in rollforward/recover when start DB at DR site.

MP Server / PDF from ARSDOC GET can see only one file

« on: February 29, 2024, 01:51:13 AM »

I have requirement to export all data from CMOD to original pdf with indexes of them. (To use on another system)

So, I try to used 'arsdoc get' command. But output of PDF will be merged in very strange format cannot use to another system,
that is when open by normal PDF viewer will show only first file that exported from CMOD but I exported about 10 pdf files from CMOD.
When inspect filesize of PDF merged, I see filesize come from 10 pdf combined. (Ex. each file is 100K, merged file is 1000K)
In index file will show offset/lenght of each PDF. I think it managed as layers of PDF.


arsdoc get -hlocalhost -uadmin -ppassword -f "PDF-TIV" -g  -N -c -i "where doc_no like '%'" -o PDF-TIV.pdf
Note:
 - When arsload back to CMOD, it will spilit to 10 PDF file correctly
 - Option -g -N -c needed to used together.

MP Server / CMOD roadmaps after V10.5

« on: January 28, 2024, 09:33:31 PM »

Since CMOD 10.5 release since 2020, I'm not sure when is roadmaps to release newer version.
(Average aging for version will be 5 years, that 10.5 may EOS in 2025, or 10.5 will be version that extend life time to 7-8 years)

This is inquiry from customer. Bcause they decision for upgrade project, and inform that if we go 10.5 and EOS in next year, this will not worth to upgrade it.

MP Server / Re: Content Overlapping for Line Data HTML5 Viewer reports in Google Chrome

« on: March 08, 2020, 10:03:31 PM »

Also, I forgot to mention (although L2 support will mention this when you contact them), as always, you must be at the latest V10.1.0.5 fix pack to apply the HTML5 Viewer fix.

I'm not sure that does overlapping content is meant each lines are too close like my screenshot? (This may has censor on data)

OD/WEK & JAVA API / Re: CMOD/ICN view Line Data report via HTML5 viewer

« on: March 06, 2020, 12:10:01 AM »

Greeting on Y2020.

After I tried with ICN CMOD with LineDataHTML5Viewer on Y2018, we decision to use other solution to view LineData (Maintain LineDataApplet) because I have no time to open PMR with IBM Support.

Good news, in this year I have some more progress on setup this.
After I extract ...\www\viewers\LineDataHTML5Viewer.zip into ICN deployed path ...\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\installedApps\mynode\navigator.ear\navigator.war\viewers\LineDataViewer\js and rename Folder to "LineDataViewer"

Configure ICN's viewermaps to use LineDataHTMLViewer.

The viewer has been launched successful but has only black square picture on that. Very funny 

Do you have anyone success to deploy LineDataHTML5Viewer? Please share with us, what am I wrong?

MP Server / OnDemand Authen Local User&Password with ARS_OD_AUTHORITY_FALLBACK parameter

« on: September 16, 2019, 02:55:06 AM »

As I have ever used CMOD 8.5 and Later. After enable LDAP authentication, we still can authenticated by local user/password by using this parameter  ARS_OD_AUTHORITY_FALLBACK=TRUE

But on CMOD 10.1, it seems this parameter has been gone, and as my tried local user/password will logon failed.
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEPCD_10.1.0/com.ibm.ondemand.installmp.doc/dodax005.htm

How can I implement AD/Local authenticate as CMOD 8.5 way?

Thanks,

MP Server / Re: Cannot start CMOD 10.1 with TSM 8.1

« on: September 05, 2019, 08:41:36 PM »

I cannot start CMOD 10.1 with TSM 8.1. There is error in ARCHIVE.trace.log

SM Error: ANS0238E (RC2041) The sequence of calls is invalid., Return Code=2041, Reason=0, File=arssmsms.cpp, Line=2440  Srvr->[SERVERNAME]<-

I opened PMR for 2 Weeks and no progress. Do have anyone ever seen this?

Thanks.

For this issue, No resolution from IBM PMR.

I was found that TSM Client API stanza in ars.cfg was conflicted with ARS_LDAP_BIND_* parameters. (I don't know why)
Proved by remove out of ARS_LDAP_BIND_* parameters  then TSM Client API worked fine and ARSSOCKD can be started.


Workaround Fix:
Remove out of ARS_LDAP_BIND_* parameters  then TSM Client API worked fine and ARSSOCKD can be started.

But you will cannot control parameter ARS_LDAP_BIND_* must leave it all to default.
(For Example, ARS_LDAP_BIND_ATTRIBUTE used to control LDAP's attibute to binding has default as CN, but MS AD almost used sAMAccountName, you will cannot changed if cannot use this parameter.)

Permanent Fix :
Apply CMOD 10.1.0.5

MP Server / Re: LDAP SSL Error after upgrading to 10.1

« on: September 05, 2019, 03:02:51 AM »

My problem has been solved by:
 - Apply CMOD 10.1.0.5.
 - Included gskit library from CMOD package (/usr/opt/ibm/gsk8_64/lib64) at begining of OS environment variable (LIBPATH (AIX), LD_LIBRARY (Linux))


Good luck!!

Hi everyone,

(Posted on 2019) 

Do you have resolution on this issue? Currently, we found problem like this forum.
The LIBPATH in my environment as below:
...
LIBPATH=/usr/opt/ibm/gsk8_64/lib64:/home/archive/sqllib/lib64:/usr/lib:/lib

Unfortunely, when start arssocked has this error, and cannot authen user with LDAPS.

MP Server / CMOD/DB2 vs Security Requirement

« on: April 24, 2019, 09:59:42 AM »

I have implemented CMOD to Bank, and there is security requirement about Database user account.

They are not allow DB2 instance owner to used by any application. They assume that CMOD is application tier
However, in my opinion CMOD is Report Repository, and ARCHIVE user is just service account
(that does not interactive with DB2 like another application style)

How can I explain, have some documents, or workaround to passed this security requirement?

This CMOD system will be migrated from CMOD Old version that installed by default options
(CMOD Instance owner is ARCHIVE that is ARCHIVE DB2 instance owner)
