Documentum – End of Life for ADTS Dec 31, 2016 – Remove the risk of unreliable content transformation services

November 10, 2016

Advanced Document Transformation Services End of Life

Update: Read Adlib's thoughts on the upcoming EOL of ADTS here. Documentum has announced the end of life for support for the Advanced Document Transformation Services as Dec 31, 2016.  One of the little known changes between the Documentum 6.7 and 7.x versions was that Documentum changed the underlying transformation engine.  Formerly based on Adlib (an industry leader in transformation), the new product, named Content Transformation Services (CTS), is based on Aspose.  This post will discuss ...

Documentum Content Server 6.7 – Primary Support Ending April 30, 2015 – What should clients do?

April 23, 2015

At EMC World 2014, Rick Devenuti shared 13 minutes into his keynote  that only 25% of Documentum customers had upgraded to the Content Server 7.x after over 18 months of 7.x being available.  While Rick spun this news to the positive, we had been posting since 2013 that many of our clients were hesitant to upgrade despite at Documentum 6 to Documentum 7 was nothing like the upgrade clients experienced for previous releases. While Rick Devenuti has recently left IIG (now ECD), for the clients ... [Continue Reading]

Supersized Documentum Migrations and Upgrades Two Billion Documents and Counting

July 19, 2013

Two weeks ago we completed several of the largest Documentum migrations and upgrades we’ve ever seen. With short outage windows, we helped plan and support our client’s migration of their Documentum systems from a data center in the southeast US to the Rockies while simultaneously upgrading the repositories from Documentum 6.5 to 6.7 SPx. Altogether the repositories contained over 2 billion documents,  several TB of file server and multiple Centera devices; as well as over 425,000 ActiveWizard ... [Continue Reading]

Documentum Upgrades – Handling eSignatures in Documentum 6.6+

March 28, 2013

Starting in Documentum Content Server 6.6, using the eSignature mechanism uses iText rather than PDF Fusion to create the electronic signature page. Documentum made this move to iText in order to be able to support creating eSignatures when the content server was running on a Unix/Linux environment, which was previously unsupported. Using the eSignature mechanism still requires a TCS (Trusted Content Services) license from EMC. ... [Continue Reading]

Documentum Upgrade to 6.7 – a simple approach

November 29, 2012

Back in July, we wrote a lessons learned post regarding upgrading from Documentum 6.5 to Documentum 6.7.   We have a client that recently completed, by himself, a Documentum upgrade from 6.5 SP3 to 6.7 SP1.  While TSG often assists clients in the Documentum upgrade process, some clients are very capable of performing upgrades on their own if they chose a simple approach.  This post will share some of the client’s thoughts on the upgrade and how the combination of TSG products as well as good ...

Documentum 6.7 Upgrades and Hardware Changes

May 8, 2012

With Documentum 6.5 SP3 going out of support this year (August 31, 2012), we’re running several Documentum upgrade projects for clients this quarter. Unlike in the past where upgrades promised fantastic new functionality, this round of upgrades is trending more towards maintaining supported configurations and upgrading to new hardware. In addition, rather than simply upgrading the OS, companies are virtualizing servers and rolling out 64-bit hardware wherever possible. ... [Continue Reading]

Debugging Documentum Java Method Server (JMS) Code in Eclipse

March 20, 2012

One of the big challenges with working with Documentum is debugging code that is deployed to the Content Server’s Java Method Server (JMS).  Deploying code updates to the JMS can be tedious because it the JMS is typically on a remote server for developers, and it usually takes a long time to restart when code changes are deployed.  The Java Method Server is also shared by all repositories on the content server, so continuously restarting the server for debugging can impact other repositories.  ...

Documentum Webtop 5.3 running on Documentum Content Server 6.x

March 15, 2012

We stumbled across a pretty vague reference in the cross-product dependency guide for Documentum 6.7 SP1 (on page 245) for Webtop (emphasis ours) “Note: Documentum Collaborative Services 5.3 DAR is installed with Content Server 6.7 SP1 repository so Webtop 5.3 & 5.3 SPx will work with Content Server 6.7 SP1.   If Documentum Collaborative Services (formerly Documentum Collaborative Edition) 6.7 SP1 DAR is installed with Content Server 6.7 SP1 repository, Webtop 6.7 SP1 is required.” ...

Documentum , Weblogic and DM_DFC_E_BAD_CLASS error

February 1, 2012

We had a client last week struggle with a DM_DFC_E_BAD_CLASS when deploying Webtop and our OpenAnnotate product along with our DFC based OpenContent.  The issue arises from the CLASSPATH having the file "dfc.jar" added to it.  We thought we would document the thoughts here for other client’s reference. ...

Documentum Webtop Upgrades 6.5 to 6.7 Considerations

October 12, 2011

Code Comparison

With the support deadlines on the Webtop 6.5 platform being August 31st, 2012, many Documentum users are considering an upgrade to the current 6.7 platform which is supported through April 29th, 2015.  While EMC has released 6.6 and 6.7 as minor releases with very little new functionality, it is worth noting the differences when planning an upgrade.  This post will discuss changes from Webtop 6.5 to 6.7. ...
