Other / Re: AFP view failing- T1GMCUSR code page is not found

« on: October 12, 2016, 02:14:18 AM »

Thank you! we will give that a try and see where it takes us.  I appreciate the start in the right direction and will provide an update.

Looking at the error you mentioned, there are 2 possibilities in my opinion.
1. The source system is producing AFPs that are not fully composed. This means they just have a reference to the resource name (code page in this case) in them but not the actual resource. And this resource is not present in the resource library on the CMOD server.
2. The resources are present in the AFP but your indexing parameters are no configured to collect them.

You need to check these and then get the resources from source systems if the AFPs are not fully composed.
Use RESTYPE=ALL otherwise.

MP Server / Re: Limit the Number of files in Cache1/retr folder

« on: October 12, 2016, 02:02:14 AM »

We are seeing a similar issue

$ df -g /arsca*
Filesystem         GB blocks      Free %Used    Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/arscache01lv     14.00      1.52   90% 23906568    99% /arscache01
/dev/fslv02          1499.00   1279.57   15% 23995306     8% /arscache02

I know we have  big discrepancy between the size of cache01 and 02, but we thought the system would limit the files added to 01 before it filled up.  Last week the 01 filesystem completely filled and our AIX support team added (4) more GB.  I also need to have them expand the inodes still.

Is there anything we can do to prevent this filesystem from filling up again?

Did you check if there is a permission issue?
All the cache directories should be owned by the same ID that runs ARSSOCKD.

MP Server / Re: Limit the Number of files in Cache1/retr folder

To add to Justin's comment about the 'retr' links in the first defined cache filesystem; CMOD reserves 5% of the first cache filesystem for this.
So when the first cache filesystem hits 95% utilized, no new storage objects will be written to that filesystem, as long as it is at 95% or above utilized.

Interesting... thanks for the tip!

MP Server / Horizontal Scalability - Library server

« on: October 03, 2016, 10:13:45 PM »

Hi

The IBM documentation says the following about Horizontal Scalability.
I did not really understand how this would work practically in terms of ingestion and retrieval.

"Even though Content Manager OnDemand allows a single library server for each instance,
this library server can be scaled horizontally. The library server is scaled horizontally by using
one or both of the following methods:
 The database tables (both the system and the application group) can be placed in different
databases (z/OS) or different table spaces (Multiplatforms and z/OS) at the table level.
Therefore, each of these tables can scale to the maximum practical size that is supported
by the database within the operational constraints of maintenance and performance.
Content Manager OnDemand does not impose a limitation.
 The application group data table design facilitates the following actions:
– You can create as many application groups as you need to support the required data to
be archived.
– Each application group can be segmented into multiple tables where the table
segmentation is based on size.
– Each of these application group data tables can be placed in a separate database
(z/OS) or table space (Multiplatforms and z/OS)."


Thanks

MP Server / TSM Vs HDFS

« on: May 31, 2016, 12:11:37 AM »

Hi

Has anyone done a study on the advantages of using HDFS over TSM.
In what situations HDFS is better over TSM?
There are not many papers on the internet that talks about using HDFS with CMOD and what advantages does it pose over TSM with SAN/NAS storage.

Thanks

MP Server / Storing dates earlier than 1st Jan 1970

« on: April 12, 2016, 06:15:40 AM »

Hi

I came across this requirement where the user want to store Date of Birth in CMOD.
Obviously there would be many date that would be older than 1st Jan 1970.
The only option I can think of is to store it as a string and not date.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Hi Michel

Could you elaborate on which script you are talking about here that does the ISO-8859-1 to IBM-285 conversion?
Is this a shell script or a CMOD feature.
Just want to know for my knowledge.

Cheers

After turning on the logging, you may use the ARSRPT utility as well to see the usage.

MP Server / Re: ARSMAINT on system log

« on: March 16, 2016, 05:24:48 AM »

The reason why the space utilization was not coming down even after expiring eligible records was because we did not run the REORG.
We are using DB2 and it seems that you need to run the REORG to reclaim the space.
The utilization is down to 70 % now.

Cheers

I understand JBNC that this will wipe off System Log.
Note that this is a non-production server.

Also I did a query on the database to get the size info and this is what I got.

As you can see that SL3 alone is consuming about 3 GB of space.


Table Name                                  Table Physical size in MB Index Size
SL3                                                 3179
SL2                                                 1708

MP Server / ARSMAINT on system log

« on: March 14, 2016, 06:26:12 AM »

Hi

I tried to expire the System Log using the following command.

/opt/ibm/ondemand/V9.0/bin/arsmaint -I xxxxxxx -u xxxxx -p xxxxx -n 10 -x 10 -t 2027-12-31 -g "System Log" -d

However after running for some time and completing, when I check the space utilization on the file system, it is unchanged.
Meaning that no expiration happened.
Also the number of rows on the System Log remained unchanged.

Note that I am running the expiration processing using a future date.
Any reason why the space is not clearing.

The retention period on the System Log App Group is 7 years.

Thanks
Pankaj.

MP Server / Re: Trace Logs

« on: February 29, 2016, 05:44:44 AM »

  CMOD version 9.0.0.5
Operating System - Linux

There are multiple applications that access this CMOD server.
As per the trace log (looking at the time stamps), the last activity was a search query that passed in an account number and a date range.

I tried the same criteria again after bring the server up but the query did not cause a crash.
The point I am trying to make is why did the trace log didn't log any ERROR message at all in spite of the fact that the logging was set to the highest level (15).

Thanks

OD/WEK & JAVA API / Online archival using ODWEK service.

« on: February 25, 2016, 11:44:08 PM »

Hi

I have an application group that has a date field which is mandatory field.
Now if a batch ingestion is done without passing a date, CMOD throws an error.
Whereas if I try to upload the same document using the ODWEK API and do not pass a date, no errors are thrown and the document ingests successfully.
This is a strange scenario.
Is anyone aware of this issue or faced it earlier?

Thanks
Pankaj.
