Report Indexing / Floating trigger + PDF Graphical Indexer

« on: April 15, 2024, 01:28:11 PM »

Hi All,

I have a requirement to index a file using the PDF graphical indexer.

I need to capture line by line some fields, that are normally easy to grab using a floating trigger in the ACIF world.

Using a floating trigger now, it creates the green box for the trigger, however when I run the loader - it only picks up the first trigger/field defined.

Is there a way to make this work? I get that the pdf indexer is a bit "out dated" but theres no other solution unfortunately.

Thanks

Figured this out and verified with our end users.

Right click system parameters, uncheck all boxes, top right

MP Server / Globally disable Annotations?

« on: April 05, 2024, 07:22:44 AM »

2600 AG's
100 Groups
100-some users

All have access to annotations. The customer does NOT want this.

Is there a way to globally disable this? Or should I get started on my script.

Thanks!

Just as an FYI - I have also seen this scenario when loading into S3/EMC, we had to add the .cer provided by the storage folks for it to work.

Content Navigator / Re: Issue connecting to ICN Repository

« on: March 27, 2024, 10:45:08 AM »

This issue was very weird. Here's what I did.

1) Verified ALL classpaths/paths at the OS level, and the websphere level -> Including pointing to the new version of log4j/gson
2) Uninstalled CMOD V10.5
3) Reinstalled CMOD V10.5 + FixPack 7
4) Redeployed the ICN ear file
5) Repository successfully added.

Essentially, a reinstall of the base CMOD, fixed us up.

I am seeing this error above again. I compared this system, to a working existing system, and they are the identical as far as settings goes. I tried the same, uninstall/reinstall/redeploy.. no luck. Has anyone else seen this?

Content Navigator / Combine documents, view as one

« on: March 27, 2024, 09:47:01 AM »

In the current thick client that my customer is using, in the thick client, they would select numerous reports/hits in the hitlist.

Options - > View Combined documents, view all. So now all documents open as expected in a "bundle". They can then export them to their desktop. It creates a single text file that the user can then open with notepad and do all of their work.

Is there a simple way to do this in ICN or am I overlooking something?

MP Server / Operations issue with LDAP

« on: March 26, 2024, 08:58:44 AM »

We just got LDAP implemented, we verified all of the correct settings (that we can see..) We were getting return code 49, which pointed us to invalid credentials. We resolved that, or so we think.

We are now seeing this error message "LDAP Error: Operations error -- ldap_rc=1,  -- extended_rc=0,  -- ldap_errno=1, extra_rc=0, File=arsldap.c, Line=2662"

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks!

MP Server / Re: Disable users ability to change passwords

« on: March 25, 2024, 02:28:59 PM »

Thanks JD/RJRussel, this will come in handy.

Our client is asking if its possible also to do this within content navigator (until we roll out LDAP and they stop sharing accounts!!)

Thanks

MP Server / Disable users ability to change passwords

« on: March 22, 2024, 06:55:26 AM »

Hi All, have a bit of a strange request.

I am working on a migration - And lots of best practices/basic practices arent being followed.

Currently - users are accessing CMOD via the thick client. They are using ONE account between multiple people which is very bad obviously.

One of their users questioned if its possible to "disable the ability to change passwords"

Our goal is to get them on to LDAP ASAP, so I am not sure if its worth pursuing much - but, I looked all over and I could have swore years ago i saw this setting.

has anybody ever done this?

Fresh install of ICN / WAS / DB2 / CMOD /etc - on a windows 2022 environment

We try linking a CMOD repository, and are seeing this error in the websphere log.

2/22/24 12:47:35:858 MST] 00000095 SystemOut     O CIWEB Error: [admin@server] com.ibm.ecm.struts.actions.od.ODLogonAction.createODConnection()

at com.ibm.edms.od.ODServer.logon(ODServer.java:1032)
at com.ibm.edms.od.ODServer.logon(ODServer.java:934)

But, when we look in the system log - We see a login from ODWEK/The user we're trying to use for the repo.

Has anyone seen this? We verified classpath/path/java/etc

MP Server / RESOLVED: Issue with stash file - New install of V10.5

« on: January 31, 2024, 11:52:06 AM »

resolved after some of my own verification :

I had to add "odadmin" directly to the security permissions : C:\Program Files\IBM\OnDemand\V10.5\config - And it worked.

MP Server / Issue with stash file - New install of V10.5

« on: January 31, 2024, 07:19:20 AM »

Hi All,

Working on a migration from Win2012/V9.5/DB2 V10.5 to Win2022/V10.5/DB2 V11.5

I installed DB2 V10.5/CMOD V9.5 on the new windows 2022 server, and setup the instance via the configurator. The next step I did was I took a full offline backup of the V9.5 database, and imported it into the V10.5. That part looks good.

The issue is, When I go to start the instance , or even after I delete/recreate the instance - The application does not start stating that it cannot find the stash file. I verified that the stash file exists, and that the user, odadmin - has rights to access it. I also tried re-creating it and I am seeing issues. Also when I try to update/re-create the instance in the configurator, it still says that it cannot find the stash file.

Ive tried-

Deleting the stash file
Recreating the stash file
Updating the stash file with the proper credentials
Deleting the instance/recreating
Importing updated registry settings from the V9.5 -> V10.5 server (I have this working in my homelab..)
Creating a new instance

all of the above yield the same results. When I use

No idea whats going on here - has anyone seen this? I've opened a case with IBM regarding this.

Announcements & News / Re: UPDATE: Single Sign On ("SSO") on CMOD with ICN

Not like this. You would have to build something yourself.

Interesting! I'll use that as a takeaway! Thanks Rob! Hope you're well

MP Server / Re: CMOD roadmaps after V10.5

« on: January 30, 2024, 07:45:19 AM »

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.

In my experience, it's not usually difficult to go from an older version to a newer..

For example. if you're using 10.1, and need to get into compliance, I'd push forward with 10.5.. Figure out what new features you can utilize, start in your lower dev/uat/stating/pre-prod tiers, test it.. Then plan for production.

In my experience it is not that difficult to go from lets say version 9.5 -> 10.5 with the proper planning.

Here's a hypothetical drawback/blocker/etc.. lets just 100% assume that they are going to release. lets say, CMOD 10.6. I am not sure if going from 9.5 would be as easy as going from lets say - 10.1, 10.5, just following the "version - 2" method (Or whatever the wording is..)

Personally, I agree - I remember hearing about 10.5 at a roadshow prior to covid. I think it's overdue. I am still moving forward with implementations of 10.5 with most of my customers.
