It isn’t a conference until you hear Ed Bueche talk. This is the can’t miss session of the conference if you do Documentum work.

• Don’t put a user into thousands of groups
  • Hundreds is ok
  • Arises in Project/workspace/room oriented content organizations
  • Happens to few users, but is usually the important users with visibility into everything
  • Recommendation: Leverage larger organizational groupings and create consolidated groups
  • Essentially create a group with broad rights and put the powerful users into those groups and use those groups directly into the ACLs
• May need to cap the JVM at 1 GB, even if the application server can handle more, the garbage collection starts to cause response time issues
• Upgrade to 5.3 sp6 or D6 sp1 to get the performance improvements in the UCF
  • Turn off virus scanning of archives and the directories used by the UCF client
• Can use XQuery on the repository (XML Store) using the IDfXQuery interface
  • Results as XML or bytes
  • XQuery updates not supported at this point, have to use setfile in normal DFC operations
  • X-Hive is deployed with the Java Method Server
  • Full Security support (Not news. Non-support would have been news as it is worthless without it)
• (A lot on why X-Hive and the XML Store makes XML processing better and faster for ingesting and querying)
• Partial page refresh in Webtop for 6.5
  • less roundtrips
  • faster
• Random-Access through a file in 6.0 in TaskSpcce and some support in Webtop, extension of byte-serving
• The pre-caching of content in BOCS can be based off of tasks in a work-queue
• The second session will cover the D6.5 Archive and D7+

Coffee time and then the booths. Don’t think I’m going to another session today.
