Installing Documentum client jars to the data server

Documentum can be used as a data source within IBM® StoredIQ®, but it must be downloaded and then the RPM installed and run on the target data server.

Procedure

  1. Using this command, create a directory on your target data server to hold the Documentum .JAR files: mkdir /deepfs/documentum/dfc
  2. Copy the Documentum .JAR files to this location on your target data server: /deepfs/documentum/dfc
  3. Download and install rpm-build on your target data server.
    1. To locate the rpm-build, go to http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/rpm-build-4.8.0-59.el6.x86_64.rpm
    2. Copy rpm-build-4.8.0-59.el6.x86_64.rpm to /deepfs/documentum on your target data server.
    3. Using this command, change directories and install rpm-build: cd /deepfs/documentum
    4. Using this command, install rpm-build: rpm --nodeps -i rpm-build-4.8.0-59.el6.x86_64.rpm
  4. Using this command, run the script to create the Documentum package: /usr/local/bin/build-dfc-client-rpm /deepfs/documentum/dfc
    The output is placed in /deepfs/documentum and is named something similar to siq-war-dfc-client-202.0.0.0p46-1.x86_64.rpm
  5. Using this command, run the newly created rpm on your target data server: rpm -i siq-war-dfc-client-202.0.0.0p46-1.x86_64.rpm

What to do next

You must build the Documentum RPM only once. Copy the created file siq-war-dfc-client-202.0.0.0p46-1.x86_64.rpm to each data server you plan to connect to Documentum and then run the rpm as described in step 5.
