Sergey, those values all seem fine from my perspective. I’ve never installed into XP sp3, but I have on XP sp2 and it worked. I’ve run pre 6.5sp2 on Java 5 build 12, so build 16 should be good.

My suggestion is to either try the forums on Powerlink (powerlink.emc.com), which I think are open to everyone after you register, or failing that, try the Developer Network (https://community.emc.com/community/edn/documentum). Post your errors there and see what people come up with.

Hi, my name is Seregy. I’m from Russia.
I’m trying to install the DCTM 6.5 SP2 on my server, but I keep on running into problems. I re-installed a few times, but it always come down to the different errors. I tried to install on Microsof XP SP3 (russian localization) and on MS Server 2003 R2 (english version), but it was unsucssesful. In both cases Sun Java JRE 5.0 Update 16, SQL Server 2005 SP3 Stansart Edition was installed. Would you tell me please hardware and software configurations to correct installaton. Installation guide is very poor.
Thanks,
Sergey

That I am not sure of, at least not from a Developer Edition perspective. I’d post the question on the Developer Network. I’ll add my support and we’ll see who else agrees.

Thanks for your reply. I did download XDB. I’m able to use it as an independent XML server. But is there a way to integrate XDB into the Content Server so I can run XQueries on the repository directly? Appreciate your time much.

Sorry for the delay. I was looking this up and then got distracted.

XML Store does not appear to be part of the core developer edition. You can download XDB from here:

https://community.emc.com/community/edn/xmltech

I’m updating my post accordingly.

Hi Pie, can you please let me know if XML Store is part of the Dev edition?

Hello Pie,

You’ve mentioned that the content server includes the XML Store. But I don’t find it explicitly mentioned either in the Installation guide or EMC’s website.

I installed the developer edition in my machine and imported an XML into the repository. When I looked at the ‘Storage Type’ of the imported XML, it shows ‘filestorage_01′ rather than ‘xml store’ or something similar. Am I missing something?

90% of my content is XMLs and am looking to evaluate how useful XML Store might be as we are migrating from 5.3 to 6.5. Is XML Store part of the Content Server itself in 6.5 or do we need to buy a separate license (am sorry its not very clear to me from EMC website)?

Thanks,
JAK

Hit the EMC Developer Network. There are a lot of people there that you can meet and help you out. I go there quite a bit myself. https://community.emc.com/community/edn/documentum

Ha, is it that simple? My fault, I went down the misleading road with the thought that credentials are somewhere inside Documentum installation.

Thanks!

You don’t need to change the dbpasswrd.txt file as that is the database password. You should just have to change the login for the Master Content Service, and the other services that were created. Just open the properties of the service, select the “Log On” tab, and update the password.

As a rule, for local installations, local computer accounts are best.

Hello Pie!

I’m trying to learn how to develop application utilizing DFS just to learn how the DFS works. I’ve successfuly installed the free developer edition and started my venture…

Unfortunately I’ve run into a problem after my domain password has been changed. Since that, the Documentum Master Service can not be started because of the logon failure.

I understand there a simple way to change dbpasswd.txt with dm_encrypt_password.exe but didn’t figure out how to change dbmspassword.txt (which even has different format).

Unfortunatelly I cannot you dm_change_password.exe as my computer has some trouble connecting to domain controller (geeze, that’s strange I know, I can log into domain, but I can’t change the password…).

So, my question is – is there a way how to change dbmspasswd.txt to contain my new password encrypted the way Documentum Master Service is able to decrypt correctly? (And did I guess correctly that dbmspasswd.txt contains encrypted password the Documentum Master Service is using?)

Thanks in advance!

Jakub

That is the stand-alone version of the XML Store. It is basically the X-Hive acquisition. You can read more about it in some of my older posts or check out the Developer Network.
