Additional Notes

Note 1:

This new installation option supports the separation of duty model. The installation process can now be separated and executed by two different administrator roles, the database administrator and the application administrator. For more details please see chapter 4 in the ECMSDK Installation Guide.

Note 2:

To change the group index update mode from synchronous (default) to asynchronous, you can use the following script command:

cd $EMSDK_HOME./ecmsdk script install/config/UpdateAclIndex.def
Note 3:

The new GroupMembershipCache can increase the overall performance of security checks if larger group hierarchies are in-place. Depending on the number of group memberships configured in the system the startup process of the ECMSDK node can take a bit longer, as the caches are initially populated during this startup phase. To make use of the new GroupMembershipCache, you need to enable it by setting the following ServiceProperty:

IFS.SERVICE.GroupMembershipCacheEnabled = true
Note 4:

The new ECMSDK Activity module improves and simplifies the communication and collaboration between users and/or devices. Any action can be recorded and automatically processed for easy context-sensitive information access. In addition, data is enriched with statistics and provide personalized delta states and views on activities.

This outstanding product feature enables the modeling of many user and data driven use cases in the real world. For example, social intranet actions such as "follow", "like" or "suggest" can be captured and summarized for documents or other supporting data objects, and can be tracked in an organized manner by users with access to the object. Many other use cases in the area of IoT or Smart Data can also benefit from this product enhancement.

From a technical point of view, each data object in the ECMSDK repository can be enabled for activities. The object can be a traditional content management object (such as a document or forum post entry), or any object that models a real world entity such as an electronic device or a car. The activity of an object is comprised of the set of actions that were performed with it as its target. Predefined actions are provided out of the box and can be easily extended. Every single action contains a variety of detailed information such as the actor, action type, timestamp, and objects related to the action. The behavior of actions can be configured and customized via Activity Specification objects. Advanced search and filter options allow for a fine-grained analysis and evaluation of tracked activities.

In addition to the Activity API, numerous new ECMSDK business objects will be introduced to simplify context-sensitive conversations such as MessageList, MessageEntry, Conversation, ContactList, and Attachment. For a full list of new ECMSDK objects introduced in the ECMSDK 2.0 release, please refer to the API summary bundled with this release under ECMSDK_HOME/docs/api.

Note 5:

The database schema that was used in previous Oracle CM SDK installations for Oracle Workflow functionality will not be installed anymore starting with ECMSDK 2.0. Oracle Workflow was shipped by Oracle until late 2007. This schema was left in for compatibility reasons. Today, similar functionality can be achieved in different ways, such as inxire Processes or other BPEL engines.

Upgrading an existing Oracle CM SDK or ECMSDK 1.0 installation will not remove this schema for data security reasons. This unused schema could be removed manually after patching to ECMSDK 2.0 with the following SQL command, executed by system

drop user ECMSDK$WF cascade;
Note 6:

The following additional ServiceProperties have been added with the ECMSDK 2.2 release to support better configuration of Multi-Threaded LibrarySessions:

  • IFS.SERVICE.MaximumClonedSessions This property defines the maximum number of cloned sessions you can generate from a master session. Default value is 0, which means unlimited. If the limit is reached an exception is thrown

  • IFS.SERVICE.ClonedSessionRetryPeriod This property defines the period in milliseconds after which another check will be made to look for an available session in the cloned session pool, before an exception is thrown. Default value is 100ms.

Note 7:

The following formats have been added with the ECMSDK 2.2 release and are therefore now searchable out of the box:

  • MS Word (docx)

  • MS Powerpoint (pptx)

  • MS Excel (xlsx)

  • Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM)

  • Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)

  • StarOffice Document

  • StarOffice Picture

  • StarOffice SpreadSheet

  • StarOffice Slides

  • XML Document Type

  • XML Stylesheet

  • Resource Description Framework (RDF)

  • OpenDocument Text

  • OpenDocument Spreadsheet

  • OpenDocument Presentation

  • OpenDocument Drawing

  • OpenDocument Chart

  • OpenDocument Formula

  • OpenDocument Database

  • OpenDocument Image

Note 8:

In the case of an unexpected exception, e.g. database unavailable, the background processes now go into a sleep mode, waiting until the repository is available again. The following optional ServerConfiguration property can be set to define the period the background processes should check for the status of the repository:

IFS.SERVER.TIMER.ServiceAvailabilityCheckPeriod

The default value of this property is 30 seconds (30s).

Note 9:

In addition to the possibility to deploy a ECMSDK Node to an application server, you can run an ECMSDK Node standalone. There are new commands available to do this from command-line:

ecmsdk node.start
and
ecmsdk node.stop

For more details please see chapter 7 in the ECMSDK Installation Guide.

Note 10:

ECMSDK uses a zero value in the associated Database column to indicate a null value for object data types (PublicObject, SystemObject, etc.). This fix allows for a null value in the column to also represent a null value for object data types, which can occur in some situations resulting from upgrading from an earlier version of ECMSDK.

Note 11:

This feature introduces a new data-driven pattern for enforcing certain Categories to have no more than one instance defined on any given PublicObject. The pattern involves setting a class-level property,

IFS.CATEGORY.AllowMultipleInstances

for each Category subclass where this enforcement is desired.See an example of this pattern that sets the class-level property in file

$ECMSDK_HOME/install/adm/CreateActivityClassObjects.def.
Note 12:

This feature introduces a new set of script operations for creating ECMSDK ClassObjects during installation, and for creating or modifying ClassObjects during upgrade. These new script operations improve the performance of the installation and upgrade processes, and provides a complete and robust definition of the entire object model used within ECMSDK.See an example of this new scripting pattern in

$ECMSDK_HOME/install/adm/CreateInstalledClasses.def.
Note 13:

This feature introduces a new API that can be used to indicate that new content being added to ECMSDK (via creation or update of a Document) should be encrypted when it is stored in the database or within a designated custom Media store. This prevents unauthorized access to the content when the Media store is inspected directly. When the content is accessed in an authorized manner via the API or protocols, the content presented to the user will be automatically decrypted.If the content being introduced requires full-text indexing, the indexing process will operate on a transient decrypted copy, which will not persist in the database or custom Media store.See the javadoc for class oracle.ifs.beans.DocumentDefinition for details about this API.

Note 14:

The following additional ServerProperty for the StatisticsAgentConfiguration has been added with the ECMSDK 2.5 release to support fewer statistics logging output in large environments:

  • IFS.AGENT.STATISTICSAGENT.VerboseOutput When unset, the false defaults to true. If set to false, the Session statistics will skip the user session details and only log the count summaries.

Note 15:

ECMSDK 3.0 can now be used with either Oracle or PostgreSQL databases. The database type must be selected prior to installation. It is not yet possible to upgrade or migrate an existing instance of ECMSDK to a different database type.

ECMSDK 3.0 is certified for PostgreSQL database version 10.6 or higher.

Some ECMSDK features are not yet available when using a PostgreSQL database, including:

  • HTTP digest and challenge/response authentication methods

  • Full text search for non-textual documents

  • Writable Random access content APIs

  • Oracle BFILE storage option

  • Oracle Advanced Queuing

  • Lyke index for string searches

  • Oracle Intermedia metadata full text search option

  • Showing DDL syntax (e.g. for CREATE TABLE statements) in Fingerprint files

  • Replacing an existing view without dropping it first, if the view's column list has changed

Note 16:

Starting with ECMSDK 3.0 we are now certified with Oracle 18c, whereas the minimum patch version need to be 18.5 (Patch 28822489).

Note 17:

The new DatabaseManagementAgent runs the analyze.sql script that was previously required to run in a separate cron job against the ECMSDK repository. If you previously created a cron job or other periodic mechanism to execute the analyze.sql script, you now need to remove this job, as it could cause problems if two processes are running concurrently. This agent now performs the scheduled analyze work for you. Interval and execution period can be configured via the ECMSDK Control interface.
