Symptom
How to make repository global repository manually?
and Install xPlore and configure a new index agent against any
repository either Global or Non-Global. You may get an error: No
global registry docbase found. However all apps are working fine.
The user has upgraded content server from 5.x to 6.x. Now
they are trying to configure IA (xPlore), and has manually activated the
global registry. This manual update process had missed to update object
dm_docabse_config attribute docbase_roles[0] with value Global Registry.
Though it's an internal attribute which is taken care automatically at the time
of global registry configuration during docbase upgrade.
In case, it was updated manually then this issue is expected
as when one configure IA (xPlore) against a repository regardless of Global or
Non- Global, installer going to check global repository's dm_docabse_config
attribute docbase_roles[0] value if it's a Global Registry or not.
If it won't find it, it going to fail with "No Global Registry Docbase
found for host: xxxx"
Resolution
Follow solution ID esg106683 (listed below) to
resolve the issue.
To enable a repository as a global registry after configuration,
you must activate the dm_bof_registry user.
1. Access Documentum
Administrator in a browser and connect to the repository.
2. Navigate to
Administration > User Management > Users.
3. Locate the user named
dm_bof_registry and select View > Properties > Info to access the User
Properties - Info page.
4. Verify that the
username attribute is set to dm_bof_registry. The value dm_bof_registry is
required.
5. Optionally, change
the user login name to a new value.
6. Change the user's
password.
7. Set the
dm_bof_registry user's status to Active.
8. Click OK to save the
user.
9. During DFC
installation on client machines, such as the Webtop or Documentum Administrator
hosts, provide the user login name and password. This updates the
dfc.properties file and enables that DFC installation to contact the global
registry as required.
10. To manually modify
the dfc.properties file to designate a global registry repository and user
credentials:
1. On the DFC host,
navigate to $DOCUMENTUM/config (UNIX or Linux) or %DOCUMENTUM%\config
(Windows).
2. From a command
prompt, execute the following command to generate the encrypted form of the
global registry user's password: java -cp dfc.jar
com.documentum.fc.tools.RegistryPasswordUtils password_of_user where
password_of_user is the global registry user's clear-text password. In step d,
enter the encrypted form of this password in the dfc.properties file.
3. Open the
dfc.properties file in a text editor.
4. Modify the following
attributes:
dfc.globalregistry.repository=global_registry_repository_name
dfc.globalregistry.username=user_login_name
dfc.globalregistry.password=encryped_password_of_user
where encryped_password_of_user is the encrypted password you generated in step b.
dfc.globalregistry.repository=global_registry_repository_name
dfc.globalregistry.username=user_login_name
dfc.globalregistry.password=encryped_password_of_user
where encryped_password_of_user is the encrypted password you generated in step b.
5. Save the
dfc.properties file.
In addition to the above instructions, one need to update
dm_docabse_config attribute docbase_roles[0] with value Global
Registry in order to avoid below xPlore index Agent configuration issue
against the global repository.
