Windows Client / Viewing an AFP in FAT client

« on: October 29, 2017, 05:54:08 PM »

I have an afp that’s giving me some issues after transforming. I would like to view it how it is loaded into cmod.

I pull it up in the thick client and it opens but it doesn’t load any of the proper fonts. This file has inline resources. How can I properly view this file in CMOD

Report Indexing / Indexing AFP with ACIF

« on: October 20, 2017, 05:57:52 AM »

I have used ACIF to index AFP's with TLEs, to do line data, etc.

I have a sample AFP file that indexes using NOPS ( Redacted anything i could..)

How do I go about defining the triggers for this type of file with Nops, since the AFP is a binary file. do I need to run arsafpd against it somehow?

My colleague does this mostly, but she copies existing and does the modification there. I want to know how to do this for my own referencem, since her reasoning of "This is how we have always done it" isnt flying

TRG is my trigger

MP Server / File name from 127 Records

« on: October 16, 2017, 06:30:09 AM »

Greetings all,

Got a request last week. Simple one, but I think my syntax is off here.

I need to match up file names that were unloaded, VIA 127 records..With file names that were loaded with the associated load ID via 87 records. I was able to get all my 127's-

$ARSDOC -u $USER -p $PASSWORD -h $HOST -f "System Log" -o $1recs.out -S 10/1/17,10/12/17 -i "WHERE msg_num ='$1'" -v

issue q 127

10/16/17 09:22:46 : Starting arsdoc.  Version:  8.5.0.6
10/16/17 09:22:46 : /usr/lpp/ars/bin/arsdoc query -u admin -h archive -f System Log -o 127recs.out -S 10/1/17,10/12/17 -i WHERE msg_num ='127' -v
10/16/17 09:22:46 : Attempting login for userid 'admin' on server 'archive' ...
10/16/17 09:22:46 : Login successful
10/16/17 09:22:46 : Searching for folder 'System Log' ...

10/16/17 09:22:46 : Search successful
10/16/17 09:22:46 : Writing 892 hits in file '127recs.out'...
10/16/17 09:22:46 : Write successful
10/16/17 09:22:46 : arsdoc completed.

New command- might be wrong with my ARSDOC here.

$ARSDOC -u $USER -p $PASSWORD -h $HOST -f "System Log" -o out.out -S 10/1/17,10/12/17 -i "WHERE msg_num ='87' and msg_text like '5323-1-0-7FAA-15612-15612'" -v

Typical command that's pointing me towards a syntax issue.

Usage: arsdoc query -h hostname [-u <userid>] [-p <passwd>] [-U <user_alias>] [-v] (-F <parmfile> | ((-i <sql_query> | -q <namedquery> | -X <load_id>) [-x <load_id>] [-B <order_by_clause>] [-f <foldername>] [-G <name>] [-l <holdname>] [-e <delim>] [-H] [-I <type>] [-N <(field1)>][-n] [-o <filename>] [-d <dir>] [-L <max_hits>] [-S <startdate,enddate[,format]>]))
Version:  8.5.0.6

Am I thinking to hard with this one?

Content Navigator / First time ICN setup/config

« on: October 13, 2017, 06:28:06 AM »

Hi All,

I am going to be standing up various environments over the next few months in preparation of a large migration. I am looking from some best practice advice from some of you experts.

I am going to have 3 Non-Prod tiers..2 servers each.. running in a Redhat  / DB2 environment

CMOD 10.1 / ERM / PDF / TSM
ODWEK / AFP2PDF / WAS / ICN

Prod environment will be like this-

CMOD 10.1 / ERM / PDF /TSM (1 Library / 1 Object)
ODWEK / AFP2PDF
WAS / ICN

I haven't ever dabbled in ICN, and ODWEK/AFP2PDF was always covered by the "front end folks". Just wondering if these setups look good, or if anyone can give me some advice based on what they've done in the past.

Thanks

Report Indexing / Extracting Indexes loading

« on: October 03, 2017, 07:29:01 AM »

What is the best way to extract indexes from a particular file after loading.. this is for reconciliation purposes.

I've read about using a post processor, and I do recall using a C exit back in the day. I don't have C dev skills, so maybe a shell script in the post processor is my best bet.

Anyone have an idea/suggestion as to what it may look like?

MP Server / Upgrade from 8.5 to 10.1

« on: September 26, 2017, 11:56:30 AM »

I am getting conflicting stories here.

I've done a successful upgrade from 8.5 to 9.5, with a stop at 9.0 because we were using RDF and were going to use ODF in 9.5

What about 10.1?

I've heard that I can go directly from 8.5 to 10.1 since we aren't using any special features or crazy configurations. I've also had someone at IBM tell me that I need to go from-

8.5-9.0-9.50-10.1 

What has everyone that's on 10.1 upgraded from. And how was your upgrade path. I also tried finding this on IBM's website but I cant seem to..

Report Indexing / Viewing Index File

« on: September 22, 2017, 12:14:45 PM »

I have a afp file that is failing to load due to a TSM issue. It passes indexing and generates the .out / .ind / .res files fine..

appears that the .ind file is a binary file..any quick way to view it?

MP Server / Color conversion issue with afp2pdf

« on: September 18, 2017, 07:58:36 AM »

Couldn't think of a better spot to put this in, so MP it is.

Users have a PDF File Generated from Exstream. The text at the top is wording and it comes out a light shade of green.

When it goes through the AFP2PDF conversion process, it is more of a dark shade of green. In the past I would look at the a2pxopts.cfg file for this, but that isn't being used in this system All I see are the following within /opt/ondemand/config

879 Aug  3  2012 afp2html.ini
141 Aug  3  2012 afp2pdf.cfg
 2066 Aug  3  2012 arswww.ini
551 Aug  3  2012 afp2pdf.ini
721 Aug  3  2012 arsxenos.ini
1024 Aug  3  2012 .

IVe done something similar like this before with afp2pdf, where I had to change the various shadings of black and white for GOCA's. Not sure what this approach would be.   Thanks

MP Server / Changing retention for historical loads

« on: September 14, 2017, 08:06:03 AM »

I've asked a few questions about arsmaint. Here's where I am at. I'll use an example

AppGroup is linked to TSM storage set. AG settings say-

Cache Data for 60 days
Life and data of indexes - 365 days

So, I run arsmaint for the first time  - arsmaint -cd

My docs will be moved off cache to TSM. 295 days later I run arsmaint -cd again. Now my documents are expired, gone, "ca-put"

I'm told that "TSM is handling retention" meaning they are making deletions on the TSM side of the house rather than the CMOD side, which doesn't make any sense to me. In the past I've loaded ALL documents to one storage set (instead of a few year that are defined for 3 year, 5 year, forever..etc..) and then we've ran ARSMAINT..and I guess that's done the trick.

Making sure that documents that are current don't ever expire - is it as simple as changing the "life of data and indexes.." at the AG level?

MP Server / arsmaint flag differences

« on: September 13, 2017, 01:00:46 PM »

Greetings folks,

Can anyone give me a high level idea of the differences in the two arsmaint flags..Ive read the IBM documentation and I cant grasp it.

 -d Expire Database
 -i Expire Migrated Imported Database Tables

MP Server / Unable to delete application group

« on: September 13, 2017, 08:08:04 AM »

Hi All,

I made some application groups. Turns out that I cannot delete them for some reason. When I do, heres the message that I am getting in the system log-

SM Error: ANS1353E (RC53)   Session rejected: Unknown or incorrect ID entered
, Return Code=53, Reason=0, File=arssmsms.cpp, Line=1141  Srvr->server1<-

I think when I was doing some testing of creating some app groups I picked an old storageset. I don't need these app groups any more and would like to delete them. I tried doing an update via ARSXML which I knew wouldn't work. But why not give it a try?

Any ideas?

MP Server / System Log access / logging

« on: September 07, 2017, 06:33:21 AM »

Hi All,

I am creating a user that only has access to the system log / system load folders and app groups. However, I want everything that the user searches to be logged (65/66 records). I went to turn this on and noticed that there is no storage set setup for the System Log app group on my system which I believe I've seen before. Is there a better way of doing what I want to do? What if I change the storage set to cache only - library server (1 server environment...)

Thanks

MP Server / Adding PPD's to a PDF file

« on: May 17, 2017, 07:03:31 AM »

Greetings all, I am wondering if anyone has ever used the feature of arspdoci where you could add PPD's to a PDF file.

I have a large PDF file and I want to test something with it. Looking for the details of the command, as well as what the input file should look like.

Thanks in advance!
