Setting up IAS for Documentum Content Server

To crawl a Documentum Content Server repository (docbases), you must configure the machine running IAS to access Documentum shared libraries.

Note: The following procedure uses the Documentum Foundation Classes 6.x and assumes a Windows installation of IAS. These classes are compatible with Documentum 5.3 and later.

To set up the IAS Server for Documentum:

  1. Install and configure the Documentum Foundation Classes 6.x libraries using the Documentum installer. Refer to the Documentum documentation.
  2. Copy the following file from the Documentum Foundation Classes installation to the IAS\<version>\lib\ias-server-plugins\entropysoft directory (on Windows) or IAS/<version>/lib/ias-server-plugins/entropysoft directory (on UNIX):
    • dfc.jar including any JAR files that dfc.jar depends upon. (You can identify dependencies by opening the manifest file for dfc.jar and copying the files listed in the manifest.)
    Note: By default, these DFC files are located under C:\Program Files\Documentum\Shared (on Windows).
  3. Copy dfc.properties from the Documentum Foundation Classes installation directory to IAS\workspace\conf (on Windows).
    Note: By default, this file is located under C:\Program Files\Documentum\config (on Windows).
  4. Restart the Endeca IAS Service.
Now the IAS Server is set up to communicate with the Documentum repository.
