MP Server / Re: Upgraded CMOD/TSM from 8.5/6.2 to 9.5/7.1 - Can't get them to talk

« on: February 18, 2016, 06:17:30 AM »

When I changed the password in TSM, I changed the nodename password - the one I was using to connect to TSM with.

I did this via update nodename password.

I've changed nothing in dsm.opt or dsm.sys.

MP Server / Upgraded CMOD/TSM from 8.5/6.2 to 9.5/7.1 - Can't get them to talk

« on: February 17, 2016, 03:11:57 PM »

I've upgraded CMOD from 8.5 to 9.5 and TSM from 6.2 to 7.1 and can NOT get them to talk to each other.

Anything I try to do in CMOD that requires connecting to TSM fails.

If I try to load data my load fails with detail "ARS1157E Unable to store the object ...".

This will be followed by a session rejected - authentication message by TSM, as follows:

 2016-02-17 15:40:52.465383   ADMIN         57119   Error   No      429   TSM Error: ANS1025E (RC137)  Session rejected: Authentication failure
, Return Code=137, Reason=0, File=arssmsms.cpp, Line=1301  Srvr->btccmddbt001v.bok.com 10.50.97.23 non-SSL<-   

I have reset the password in TSM and can connect locally via dsmadmc client and have updated my storage set detail, but the error still occurs.

It's like the CMOD to TSM connection is looking at something else to authenticate the connection and it's failing.

MP Server / Re: Scripts to Synchronize Environments when using Dual Load Configuration

« on: September 01, 2015, 09:31:59 AM »

Yes, if I were to run an OnDemand (WEBi) report or query the DB2 table for an Application Group I could see the discrepancy as you noted - 1 may show 1000 and another 997.

I get what you're saying on the exports and diff operations, but we're talking 10s of millions of rows of data.

Because Dual Load Configuration is such a popular model, and in talking with some of the VARs that recommend this approach, they thought someone on the ODUG forum would be able to share some scripts to jumpstart our comparing and exporting from one solution and into the other.

I also understand that version 9.5 for MP has a compare utility, but we're not there yet - looking to get there at the end of the year.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

MP Server / Scripts to Synchronize Environments when using Dual Load Configuration

« on: August 31, 2015, 01:16:11 PM »

Our shop is using dual load configuration for our production environments.

I appear to have some discrepancies between the environments and want to synchronize.

Will you please point me in the direction of some scripts to help me synchronize?

MP Server / Re: Can you remove a single statement from a contiguous load file?

Per IBM PMR tonight, you are to NOT do this.

Unload your data, correct it, and reload.

I'd like to delete the DB2 record, as removing the DB2 record would effectively remove the databases knowledge of the pointer. And that's effectively what I'm trying to do - just don't know if IBM would support this.

MP Server / Can you remove a single statement from a contiguous load file?

« on: July 01, 2015, 05:11:42 PM »

We load statement files in a large contiguous file wiht statements running end to end. 

One of our statements in tonight's load is bad.  Can I delete one from the middle of the file, or do I have to unload the entire load file, correct it, and eload the corrected file?

Report Indexing / Re: Index Values Required?

« on: May 08, 2015, 07:28:25 AM »

Thanks Justin - those were pretty much my thoughts too.

My user does have other index values that she knows she'll find.

Isn't it also correct that if she doesn't want to apply a default and instead just identify the value as  "Field" that she won't be able to add it to her Folder and search by it?

And that this consequently means she'll only be able to filter/sort by it when she retrieves results in Webi?

Thanks for your help!!

Report Indexing / Index Values Required?

« on: May 08, 2015, 06:47:50 AM »

We're on 8.5 MP and I have a user with a question.

When defining an index for an application, if the value is not located, is it okay for an index to be NULL?

I'm thinking ACIF needs to populate a value, and if it doesn't find the value in the specified coordinates then a default must be supplied, correct?

MP Server / How to convert db2 loaddate value to meaningful date

Does anyone know how to convert a loaddate into the data a report was loaded?

Report Indexing / Re: Statement Indexing Troubleshooting

« on: April 13, 2015, 03:23:32 PM »

So uniqueness isn't our issue - as there are some accounts for which we create two statements for in CMOD.

What's happening is that there are a couple of accounts for which we generate the same statement multiple times and create in CMOD.

For some instances of these, the "Page 1 of" trigger isn't being interpreted as the beginning of a new statement but instead as the continuation of an existing statement.

In our 167,000 statements this happens 5 times and the result is for these 5 statements, they're combined with the statement ahead of them

Is there a way to analyze the PDF file to see control characters that may not be visible in the PDF file when viewing it?  Is it even possible for a control character to be in a PDF file and that not be visible?

Report Indexing / Re: Statement Indexing Troubleshooting

« on: April 09, 2015, 01:36:31 PM »

I think there's somethign to the first statement rolling over onto the first page of the duplicate statement and indexer not interpreting the first page of the 2nd statement as a new statement.

Just so I'm straight on uniqueness, there's nothing ensuring uniqueness of statements right?

The statement that isn't loading is completely identical to the one that precedes it.

Report Indexing / Statement Indexing Troubleshooting

« on: April 09, 2015, 07:24:46 AM »

We are outsourcing the createment of statements and we're using PDF files and PDF Indexer.

My vendor provided me a file of PDF statements that they said had 3039 statements.

When I load the statements into CMOD via PDF Indexer, I only get 3038??

We are using "Page 1 of" as our trigger to uniquely identify the first page of a statement.

When I open their file in Adobe X and do an advanced search I find 3039 instances of the phrase "Page 1 of"

But PDF Indexer only loads 3038 statements??

I've looked at this phrase across all 3039 statements but can only get 3038 to load.

Has anybody ever encountered this?  How could I troubleshoot?  I'm baffled!!

MP Server / CMOD and Active Directory 2008 and Active Directory 2012

« on: November 13, 2014, 05:08:13 PM »

We are upgrading our current Active Directory environment with the end goal being Windows 2012 R2.  In preparation for this upgrade, we need to ensure all applications are supported in a Windows 2012 R2 domain. 

We're running IBM OnDemand 8.5 today on AIX and have enabled LDAP and are using Active Directory in Windows Server 2003 environment.  We're planning on upgrading to OnDemand 9.5 at year's end.

My Questions
1.Does IBM OnDemand 8.5 and 9.5 support running in a Windows 2008 R2 Active Directory environment?
2.Does IBM OnDemand 8.5 and 9.5 support running in a Windows 2012 R2 Active Directory environment?
3.Are there any contractual obligations preventing OnDemand 8.5 or 9.5 from running in a Windows 2012 R2 domain?
4.What authentication protocols are required by OnDemand 8.5 and 9.5 with regards to Active Directory (Kerberos V5 authentication
Digest authentication, Negotiate, NTLM authentication, Passport authentication, Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) authentication)?
5.If OnDemand 8.5 or 9.5 uses NTLM, does it support NTLM Version 2?

Thanks so much!!  I can't find these answers in Information Center

WEBI interface / Encrypting Webi Content

« on: July 24, 2012, 01:59:05 PM »

Can/How do you encrypt Webi content sent via Webi email link?  Internal folks at our shop need to send content from Webi when they click the email link, but because the content is sensitive, we'd like to programmatically encrypt this.  Are there ways to stuff the Subject, Email Body, or OnDemand filename with [encrypt] to accomplish this?  Or, are you doing this a COMPLETELY different way?
