Content Navigator / ICN Installation

« on: April 23, 2019, 11:32:05 PM »

Goodday all

I am trying to setup ICN. When creating the ICN database the documentation suggest to use the sql scripts in the /opt/IBM/ECMCLIENT/configure/db2scripts/db2/modified directory , but there is no modified directorie.

What am I missing here?

Kind regards

Michel

MP Server / Re: Message 111 - OnDemand is unable to determine the link for the file

« on: January 08, 2019, 01:54:53 PM »

Hi jsquizz,

My guess is that you are missing the symlinks to the /arscache/cache2/retr/..... directorie for some files.

See this example:

To make the search easier, CMOD creates symbolic links for the cache files, and stores the links in the path with names like /arscache/cache1/retr/CKM/DOC (where retr is a fixed value). If you issue

ls -l /arscache/cache1/retr/CKM/DOC

you should see output similar to the following:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 May 9 13:47 26843FAA -> /arscache/cache1/18011/CKM/DOC/26843FAA
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 May 9 13:47 26843FAB -> /arscache/cache1/18011/CKM/DOC/26843FAB
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 May 9 13:47 26843FAC -> /arscache/cache1/18011/CKM/DOC/26843FAC

MP Server / Re: Rebuilt data from TSM to CMOD

« on: January 07, 2019, 06:42:34 AM »

I agree Justin, but this issue I have sometimes in my QA envinmoments with AFP resources. They are not in the cache anymore but still in TSM , and I get them back in the Cache with arsadmin retrieve.

So I think it is worth a try.

I agree, I am also curious about the TSM logging.

Hi Neosta

I still think your solution is arsadmin retrieve ( I sometimes have this issue also , and I am able to solve it with arsadmin retrieve) and then play around with the parameters:

-m location

Determines the location(s) of the storage objects that are processed by the storage manager. Possible locations are cache storage, the primary storage node, and the secondary storage node. The default value is 7, which specifies that the storage manager should process the storage objects for all of the locations that are specified in the application group. Specify 1 for cache storage, 2 for the primary storage node, or 4 for the secondary storage node. The values are additive; that is, if you specify a value of 3, then the storage manager processes the storage objects in cache storage and the primary storage node.

-n prinid-secnid

The primary and secondary storage node identifiers for the application group. Separate the identifiers with the - (dash) character.
Content Manager OnDemand stores the primary and secondary storage node identifiers in the database when you load data into an application group. Content Manager OnDemand includes the identifiers in the Load ID.
The values specified with the -n and -g parameters enable the ARSADMIN program to store data on or retrieve data from a specific Content Manager OnDemand object server.

This is the command I use:

Retrieve original file from CMOD

# arsadmin retrieve -d /tmp/test -g CS001 -h HOSTNAME -m2 -n 3-0 -p password -u a166999 782888FAA

I very much agree with Justin. Within my organisation I maintain both CmoD / db2 and TSM (spectrum protect) and I have 1-2 DR tests every year. Everybody can backup , but can you restore and how much dataloss in terms of hours is acceptable for you to loose ? That is more important!

This is the url to the backup db doc. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQVQ_8.1.4/srv.reference/r_cmd_db_backup.html

MP Server / Re: TSM Question - Upgrades?

« on: November 05, 2018, 10:50:25 AM »

I have done several times upgrade of TSM 5.5 to 7.1.
Thing to worry about is the outage time. Going from 5.5 to 7.1 involves database migration which takes roughly 4GB / hr (in my environments) , so if you have a tsm db of 50GB , conversion time will be 12 hrs.......

Thank you Michel - I will run that command and take a peek! 

My situation is weird and I am not sure where to start.

In our QA environment, we are running CMOD 8.5.0.6. TSM Client 6.2, and TSM Server 7.1

I have never heard of that mixture before -- 8.5 with 7.2 TSM.

In production we are running 8.5.0.6 with TSM 5.5 (Old, I know.)

We need to get to 7.1 ASAP but is there ANY way to get there without doing three things

1) Jumping to TSM 6.2
2) Upgrading TSM
3) Keeping 8.5

I know that after 6.X there was a version of DB2 under the covers but from speaking to some folks I know, as long as the box has enough resources, we should be ok. Does anyone have feedback on this?

Good to hear Nishen.

I am planning to install also ICN.
Do you have all steps documented perhaps?

Content Navigator / ICN Architecture

« on: October 18, 2018, 11:27:50 PM »

Hi All

I need to setup ICN at my customer due to the fact i am upgrading from CMOD 8.5.0.6 to CMOD 10.1
I was wondering about your ICN installations and how you have set this up? ICN on the same server as CMOD or is this asking for trouble ?
I have 3 CMOD environments, PROD / QA and DEV
1 ICN system connected to all these 3 CmoD environments?
Can this ICN be on Linux?


My CMOD environment will be:

AIX 7.1
CMOD 10.1
Content Collector for SAP 4.0
ICN

Kind regards

Michel.

Hi Abhishek

Looks to me that this is DB2 related. Does the db2diag.log show any usefull messages around the same time?
Do you ever run arsmaint on the Application Group?

Michel.
