  3. When the system opens the Argus Safety Windows Service Properties (Local Computer) dialog box:

    • Click the Log On tab.

    • Click This Account.

    • Enter the proper credentials in the text field.

    • Click OK.

  4. Right click on Argus Safety Windows Service and select Restart.

Configure Worklist Intake

  1. Run Argus Installer, and select the option "Integrations". Complete the setup.

  2. Identify the physical folders where the Intake XMLs will be dropped in. There could be one folder for all the available sites, or one folder each for each site. These folders can be on the same machine, or on different machines. Create shares for the folders.

  3. Log in to Argus Console and open the Sites UI under Access Management menu.

  4. Configure the UNC paths of the identified physical folders for the required Sites.

  5. On the server where Integrations component has been installed, open following files under the installation folder. The installation folder, typically is, C:\Program Files\Oracle\ArgusWeb\ASP\Argus.NET\bin

RelsysWindowsService.exe.config

  1. Uncomment the following entries under the <RelsysConfigFilesSection>/<RelsysConfigFiles>

    • Relsys.InterfaceComponents.ProcessorsConfiguration

    • Relsys.CaseIntake.FolderConfiguration

  2. Ensure that the <DatabaseConfiguration> section is configured. The configuration attributes for DatabaseConfiguration are as described below:

    • DBName: TNS of the Database to which the RelsysWindowsService should connect to. This is a mandatory attribute. Example: DBName="GOLDDEMO"

    • DBUser: AGService Username. The RelsysWindowsService logs into the database using this login name. This has to be a user of type AGSERVICE. Example: DBUser="agservice_user1"

    • DBPassword: Generate new encrypted string, as mentioned in the Generating Encrypted String from Clear Text on Configured User Cryptography Key section. Example: DBPassword="0314F7D9B94FF1F651069E4F36EE517D452537339935F9D7C2FA04843FA5E486"

    • GeneralEmailTo: The e-mail address to which the e-mails will be sent by the Intake Service, using the General Email feature of Argus. Example: GeneralEmailTo ="recepient@oracle.net"

    • GeneralEmailFrom: The email address from which the e-mails will be sent by the Intake Service, using the General Email feature of Argus. Example: GeneralEmailFrom ="admin@oracle.net"

    • GeneralEmailCc: This email address will be added to the Cc line when e-mails are sent by the Intake Service, using the General E-mail feature of Argus. Example: GeneralEmailCc ="recepient@oracle.net"

    • GeneralEmailBcc: The email address will be added to the Bcc line when e-mails are sent by the Intake Service, using the General E-mail feature of Argus. Example: GeneralEmailBcc ="recepient@oracle.net"

Service.config

  1. Uncomment the entries for "Case Intake" and "Case Intake Ack" in the <ServiceConfiguration>/<ServiceComponents> section

  2. The following configuration changes are optional:

    • "Recurrence": The value for this attribute specifies the frequency of instantiation of the associated Service Component. The value is specified in seconds. For example:

      <add Name="Case Intake Ack" Assembly="CaseIntakeServiceComponent" Type="Relsys.CaseIntakeServiceComponent.IntakeAckGenerator" Recurrence="600" Metadata="InvokeDirect=true" />

      The value of 600 for Recurrence above means, the "Case Intake Ack" service is instantiated every 600 seconds (10 minutes) to perform the job.

Intake.config

The following configuration changes are optional:

<FolderConfiguration>

<MonitorFolders MonitorAllConfiguredFolders="true">

<add FolderPath="\\172.16.38.154\Intake\US" Monitor="true" AlternatePath="C:\Intake\US"/>

</MonitorFolders>

</FolderConfiguration>

The FolderConfiguration enables you to have more granular control over what folders are monitored on what machines. This is particularly useful when the Intake folders are distributed across multiple machines and in many cases if these machines are not accessible from one server.

If the server machine on which Integrations component has been installed, has to monitor only a subset of the configured folders (configured in Argus Console), then set the attribute MonitorAllConfiguredFolders = "false"

When the value is set to false, each folder in the subset of folders that need to be monitored should be added as shown in the example above, using multiple <add /> entries. More info on each of the attributes:

FolderPath: The configured folder path, as specified in Sites UI in Argus Console

Monitor: true means this folder should be monitored, false means this folder should not be monitored.

AlternatePath: Alternate way of accessing the same folder path.

    Note:

    IUSR_<Machine> Ac/c must be given full access to the shared folder in the DFC installation path where DFC.dll resides.

Running Documentum on an Argus system

Documentum can be implemented on an Argus system in two ways:

Documentum can be successfully run on an Argus system if the entire environment comprises machines with fully qualified domain names for that environment.

If the actual domains are not present, you can still run Documentum even with minimal security configuration by implementing a workaround, as follows: Go to the DFC.config file on the Web Server and change its dfc.registry.mode setting. Its default setting is: dfc.registry.mode=windows
Change this setting to: dfc.registry.mode=fileChanging this setting ensures that Documentum can run even with minimal security configuration.
