 Administering the Repository

• The repository and the Content Server are administered using

­ Documentum Administrator (DA) Primary tool for Documentum
system administration
­ Documentum Composer and DAR files
• Composer is used to create or modify artifacts and package them together as a
Documentum Project
­ An artifact is a Documentum resource – for example, a permission set
template, lifecycle, alias set, method, etc.
• A DAR file is the executable binary version of a Documentum Project
• An administrator
­ Creates and modifies artifacts
­ Installs artifacts into a repository, using either a Documentum Project or a
DAR file
­ Documentum Application Builder (DAB)
• Used to create or modify permission set templates, lifecycles, alias sets, etc.
• Required by some Documentum applications that cannot use Composer and
DAR files, for example, Content Storage Services (CSS)
­ DQL - Used to manipulate groups of objects usually not exposed in DA

 IPv6 Support
Overview (1 of 2)

• IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) supports a 128 bit addresses

­ IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) supports a 64 bit addresses
• Content Server 6.5 and later supports the following IP modes:
­ V4ONLY: Only IPv4 is supported
­ DUALSTACK: Both IPv6 and IPv4 are supported
• If the underlying operating system supports only IPv4, the Content Server
­ Will use IPv4 communication
­ Print a message in repository log indicating “Cannot use IPv6, because
underline OS does not support IPv6”
• The physical network, operating system, and third party products must
support IPv6

Installing Content Server 1-35

© 2009 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
 IPv6 Support
Overview (2 of 2)

• In distributed Content Server environments, where multiple

Content Servers manage a repository, the Content Servers need
not all support the same IP mode
• Connection brokers support IPv6 automatically, regardless of IP
mode
­ It is only necessary to make sure that operating system and network are
configured for IPv6

 Global Registry Copy Utility
Overview

• You can upgrade the global registry by:

­ Upgrading repository containing the global registry to Content Server 6 (or
later)
OR
­ Using the global registry copy utility to copy the global registry and its
contents from a 5.3.x repository to a Content Server 6 repository
• Using the copy utility is useful in multiple repository
environments some repositories will use Content Server 6.x and
others will use Content Server 5.3.x
­ The Content Server 6.x repositories use the new version 6.x global registry
­ The Content Server 5.3.x repositories continue to use the 5.3.x global
registry
