Presentations, Newsletters, and such / CMOD Workshop 2022 - this month, September, in Chicago
« on: September 15, 2022, 01:56:00 PM »
Content Manager OnDemand - Free Two-Day Workshops

Starts:  Sep 27, 2022 08:45 AM (CT)
Ends:  Sep 28, 2022 03:00 PM (CT)

https://community.ibm.com/community/user/automation/events/event-description?CalendarEventKey=831e106c-01e8-4d86-aa38-9e43ad8b743d&CommunityKey=2b67f465-a5fe-4a66-ad25-f5e767b607e3

Working from home has its advantages, but sometimes, in-person is the only way to go. Following on from last years CMOD Virtual Workshop series, I'm delighted to announce that we are bringing back in-person CMOD Technical Workshops starting with a session in Chicago on September 27-28, 2022.  All being well we plan to have more in-person workshops in 2023 (dates and locations to be determined).

What is the CMOD Technical Workshop?
This is a 1.5 Day Free event, where we present best practices, roadmap, how to’s, and open conversations with your Peers, SMEs, Development and Product Management. This doesn’t replace formal training, but is an excellent event for seasoned CMOD users, folks new to CMOD and those evaluating CMOD.

Cost?
It’s Free to attend. Clients are responsible to cover their own travel expenses. IBM and our Partners will cover lunch and a social event on Tuesday night.

Where?
IBM Chicago Office in the Hyatt Center at 71 South Wacker Drive.

When?
Tuesday, September 27 – 8:45 AM – 4:30 PM (followed by an Evening Event)
Wednesday, September 28 – 8:45 AM – 3:00 PM

iSeries / IBM to implement infrastructure improvements to electronic fix distribution
« on: June 06, 2022, 12:08:19 PM »
Preparing customer firewalls and proxies for the upcoming infrastructure changes on IBM Electronic Fix Distribution / IBM Fix Central system

Abstract

IBM is planning to implement infrastructure improvements to electronic fix distribution on June 4, 2022.

Public internet IP address and hostnames will be changing for the IBM servers that support internet delivery of fixes and updates for customer system's software, hardware, and operating system.

This change pertains to all operating systems supported by IBM Electronic Fix Distribution (EFD) / IBM Fix Central system.

Customer action may be required to ensure uninterrupted fix delivery services.

MP Server / Important upgrade steps for the CMOD Full Text Search feature
« on: May 23, 2022, 11:29:26 AM »
Abstract

The Content Manager OnDemand Full Text Search feature installer (in versions 9.5, 10.1, and 10.5) is an install wrapper of the IBM ECM TextSearch installer.

When installing the Content Manager OnDemand Full Text Search feature, both installers will default to a directory containing the version number.

If you already have a previous version of the Content Manager OnDemand Full Text Search feature, the new version’s installation will become a new install and no data will be migrated from the previous version.

Do not uninstall the previous version or begin indexing to the new version before taking the steps described later in this document.

MP Server / arsjesd broken in 10.5.0.4
« on: April 18, 2022, 07:38:14 AM »
arsjesd was broken by a change in 10.5.0.2 and is still broken in 10.5.0.4.

The fix for arsjesd will be shipped in the 10.5.0.5 fix pack level for CMOD. I do not yet have a date for that and am not expecting it to be before late 3Q22.

Until then use arsjesd from 10.5.0.0 or 10.5.0.1.

Tips and Tricks / ARSXML - Some tips and info
« on: April 05, 2022, 10:32:15 AM »
Had a question recently,

Quote
We need to change the userIDs of many users.  Can this be done in bulk?

Yes and ARSXML to the rescue.

In default location C:\Program Files\IBM\OnDemand\V10.5\xml\samples are dozens of xml samples.

For this case there is this xml file, updateusers.xml:

Quote
<!--   Change the user name -->

  <user

    name="SampleUser3"

    newName="SampleUser3New">

  </user>


If I want to see all of the possible attributes that can be changed via ARSXML I can take a look at C:\Program Files\IBM\OnDemand\V10.5\xml\ondemand.xsd.

In there I see:

Quote
<xs:element name="user">
   <xs:complexType>
      <xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
         <xs:element name="permission" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
             <xs:complexType>
                 <xs:attribute name="task"           type="taskString"      use="optional"/>
                 <xs:attribute name="user"           type="stringLen1-128"  use="optional"/>
                 <xs:attribute name="group"          type="stringLen1-128"  use="optional"/>
                 <xs:attribute name="adminAuthority" type="yesnoString"     use="optional"/>
             </xs:complexType>
          </xs:element>
      </xs:choice>

      <xs:attribute name="name"                type="stringLen1-128"  use="required"/>
      <xs:attribute name="newName"             type="stringLen1-128"  use="optional"/>
      <xs:attribute name="uid"                 type="uidValue"        use="optional"/>
      <xs:attribute name="updateDate"          type="xs:string"       use="optional"/>


etc etc


Also, one can do an export and then look at the resultant xml. 

That will give a basic example of how one might structure xml when wanting to do adds or updates.
