The term Documentum software components refers to the programs listed in Deployment EnvironmentsOverview, page 7 . The following table describes each provisioning method in more detail:

Method Description

Automated xMS manages environments. It provisions deployment environments into the VMwareinfrastructure as virtual applications (vApps). The resulting VMs appear in either vSphereClient or vCloud Director. Provisioning Overview, page 11 and the EMC DocumentumxCelerated Management System Deployment Guide provide more details.

Orchestrated xMS manages environments. You provide the machines (either physical or virtual).You also configure networking and domain on those machines, if needed. You can useMicrosoft Windows Remote Management (WinRM) as an IP-based communicationprotocol. xMS installs components on those machines. Provisioning Overview, page 11and the EMC Documentum xCelerated Management System Deployment Guide providemore details.

Manual You can build a physical or virtual Documentum deployment environment by manuallyinstalling EMC Documentum components and third-party software. ProvisioningOverview, page 17 provides more details. Use the installation guides for each of the EMCDocumentum components to plan and install each component.

If you choose the automated or orchestrated provisioning method, xMS accelerates the deploymentof your environment. The pre-certified blueprint XML files direct the automatic installation of thenecessary software infrastructure and further allow you to configure and provision the environment.

Choosing the Right Deployment MethodUse the automated method to provision Documentum deployment environments when:

• You want to accelerate deployment through automation processes.• You want xMS to create virtual machines for the environment.• You want to deploy the Documentum system on Microsoft Windows Server.• You can leverage VMware infrastructure in your organization.

Use the orchestrated method to provision Documentum deployment environments when:

Chapter 2Using xMS to Provision DocumentumEnvironment

This chapter contains the following topics:

• Provisioning Overview• Prerequisites• Preparing Documentum Component Installers• Provisioning Considerations• Clustered Environments

Provisioning OverviewYou can use xMS to provision, administer, and monitor Documentum system environments. Unlessotherwise indicated, the EMC Documentum xCelerated Management System Deployment Guideprovides detailed instructions for each step.1. Prepare your system. Build your infrastructure. Prerequisites, page 12 provides details.2. Prepare xMS:

a. Set up xMS Tools. This process installs the xMS command-line interface and creates the folderstructure containing important configuration files such as blueprints, environment profiles,properties files, and manifest files. This process also establishes ${xms-tools-home} and${media-location}.

b. Install and configure the xMS Server.c. Set up one or more xMS Server users.

3. (Optional) If you want to set up monitoring of provisioned environments, install a Hyperic serverand the initial Hyperic agent.

4. Download all the required EMC Documentum installers. Preparing Documentum ComponentInstallers, page 13 provides details.

5. (Optional) Prepare an environment template.

This step is optional because you can provision your environment using a default environmenttemplate in the xMS Management Center.

6. Determine which provisioning options to use. Provisioning Considerations, page 14 providesdetails.

7. Provision the Documentum System environment.

Provisioning includes configuring deployment parameters and endpoints, and using xMS toconfigure machines based on an environment template. xMS manages the configuration of allDocumentum and third-party software needed in the environment.

8. (Optional) Monitor the environment.

Provisioning Considerations

Automated Provisioning Considerations

The following table lists various options which can help if you use the automated provisioning method:

Considerations Description

Log file redirectionfor centralizedtroubleshooting

Allows you to redirect logs of components such as Content Server (cs-logs),xPlore (xPlore-logs), Content Transformation Services (cts-logs), or ContentIntelligence Services (cis-logs) to a single location in their respective VMs. Bydefault, each Documentum component creates logs in different locations. TheEMC Documentum xCelerated Management System Deployment Guide providesmore information.

Automated and Orchestrated Provisioning Considerations

The following table lists various options which can help if you use the automated or orchestratedprovisioning method:

Considerations Description

Clustered deploymentenvironments

Using xMS, you can set up clusters of Documentum components or services toenable load balancing, scalability, and high availability. Configuring a componentin a clustered configuration can improve throughput and availability, and it canmatch computing resources to actual demand. The EMC Documentum xCeleratedManagement System Deployment Guide describes how to provision clusteredenvironments.

Non-clustereddeploymentenvironments

Using xMS, you can also set up non-clustered deployment environments. TheEMC Documentum xCelerated Management System Deployment Guide describeshow to provision non-clustered environments.

Using xMS to Provision Documentum Environment

Considerations Description

Data storage for highavailability

By default, the Content Server repository service uses data storage on the samemachine where you installed the Content Server. However, for clustering or highavailability, you can configure the Content Server repository service to use datastorage outside of that machine, which provides the following benefits:

• If you have only one Content Server machine in your Documentum environmentand that Content Server fails, data storage outside that machine enables easierdisaster recovery.

• If you build a cluster of Content Servers and if a Content Server node in thatcluster fails, other Content Server nodes can continue to access the data.

Data storage outside the Content Server machine can be internal or external tothe Documentum environment. The EMC Documentum xCelerated ManagementSystem Deployment Guide provides more information.

External connectionbroker to bridge externaland internal networks

Provisions an environment that uses two connection brokers: one using the internalnetwork and the other listening on an external network. For example, when aclient application is on a network separate from the provisioned environment andneeds to connect to components within the provisioned environment, the systemneeds two connection brokers. The system always installs the internal connectionbroker with the repository service by default. For external IP configuration, installan additional connection broker. The EMC Documentum xCelerated ManagementSystem Deployment Guide provides more information.

Database details Provisions an environment to work with a specific external database. For example,provision an environment to enable the Documentum repository to use an externalOracle database. The EMC Documentum xCelerated Management SystemDeployment Guide provides more information.

Environment mode Indicates an environment running in a production mode. The EMC DocumentumxCelerated Management System Deployment Guide provides more information.

Clustered EnvironmentsConfiguring a component in a clustered configuration can improve throughput and availability, and itcan match computing resources to actual demand. Setting up clusters of components or services isan optional method. Using xMS, you can set up clusters of components or services to enable loadbalancing, scalability, and high availability.

The following table lists the components that you can set up as logical service clusters in yourenvironment:Component Corresponding Service Support Details

The Documentum clustered environment blueprint file contains the default property values for acomponent cluster. If you want to provision an environment with new property values for a componentcluster, do so in the environment profile file or in the xMS Management Center:

• When you use a command to provision an environment, xMS references the Documentum clusteredenvironment blueprint and Documentum clustered environment profile files, and instantiates theminimum number of nodes.

• When you use the xMS Management Center, xMS references the hosts and other values you haveconfigured.

At provisioning time, you can set the size (the number of nodes) for each cluster. The EMCDocumentum xCelerated Management System Deployment Guide provides more information aboutprovisioning clustered deployment environments.

The Documentum clustered environment blueprint file contains a cluster for the repository componentand its property values as shown in the following example:<vm-cluster name="repoVM" affinity="ANTI_AFFINITY" key="R"><size>${repoVM.cluster.size=2}</size><cpu>${repoVM.cpu=2}</cpu><memory>${repoVM.memory=2GB}</memory><vm-template nameref="windowsTemplate" /></vm-cluster>

In the Documentum clustered environment profile file, you can provide new property values withinthe <configuration-context> element for the repository component as shown in the followingexample:<configuration-context><property name="repoVM.cpu" value="4"><property name="repoVM.memory" value="4GB">...</configuration-context>

Manually Provisioning a Documentum Environment

Installing Documentum Content Server andRepositoryContent Server software manages repositories and provides content management capabilities. Arepository consists of three main components—a file store containing the content assets, attributetables within a relational database, and full-text indexes. Content Server and repository can be installedin different ways to support different scenarios. The basic installation model installs a single ContentServer and at least one repository and connection broker on a single host.

A basic installation of Content Server consists of several interrelated components:

• File store: Contains the content files for objects stored in the repository.

• Relational database: Stores metadata for the content files.

• Content Server: Manages repositories. Content Server consists of several distinct processes andcomponents, including an application server reserved for its internal use.

• Repositories: Consists of one or more repositories. You need to designate one of these repositoriesas the global registry.

• Connection broker: Provides repository connection information to client applications.

• Documentum Foundation Classes (DFC): Provides the programming interface that clientapplications use to communicate with Content Server.

• SMTP server: Content Server uses this SMTP server to send tasks and notification messages to usermailboxes, when necessary.

You can install Content Server in different configurations. In production environments, the ContentServer and database are almost always installed on different hosts for increased performance. TheEMC Documentum Content Server Installation Guide provides more information about DocumentumContent Server and Documentum repository.

Installing Thumbnail ServerThumbnail Server serves graphic files from a thumbnail file store on the Content Server host. Itprovides these thumbnails to Web client applications. Thumbnails are renditions created by ContentTransformation Services when a file is imported or checked in to the repository. Thumbnail ServerInstaller installs the Thumbnail Server software and sets the base_url attribute for file store objects,which are defined for repositories residing on the host thumbnail storage areas.

The base_url is set to a URL that identifies the Thumbnail Server. Its value is used by applications toconstruct complete URLs for files in the thumbnail storage area. A file store is a thumbnail storagearea when its media_type attribute is set to 1.

The Thumbnail Server is installed as a service, set to start automatically upon system restart.

Thumbnail Server must be installed on the same host as your Documentum Content Server. Downloadthe Thumbnail Server Installer from EMC Online Support https://support.emc.com. The EMCDocumentum Thumbnail Server Installation Guide provides more information about installing andconfiguring the Thumbnail Server.

Manually Provisioning a Documentum Environment

Installing xPlorexPlore provides query and indexing services that can be integrated into external content sources suchas the Documentum content management system. External content source clients like CenterStage, orcustom Documentum DFC clients, can send indexing requests to xPlore.

Each document source is configured as a domain in xPlore. xPlore provides a web-based administrationconsole and you can set up domains using xPlore Administrator. For Documentum environments,the Documentum index agent creates a domain for each repository and a default collection withinthat domain.

Documents are provided in an XML representation to xPlore for indexing through the indexing APIs.In a Documentum environment, the Documentum index agent prepares an XML representation of eachdocument. The document is assigned to a category, and each category corresponds to one or morecollections as defined in xPlore. To support faceted search in Documentum repositories, you can definea special type of an index called an implicit composite index.

The Documentum xPlore Installation Guide provides more information about xPlore.

Installing Content Intelligence ServicesThe Content Intelligence Services (CIS) is the content analytics component for EMC Documentum.Use content analytics to analyze the textual content of documents and know what the documentsare about without having to read them. Enable users to find documents rapidly by enriching searchfacets with discovered metadata and get the summary of a document by viewing discovered metadatawith the document.

CIS includes these key components:

• The CIS client can be used for creating, managing, or displaying the taxonomy used for categorizingdocuments. Examples of CIS clients are Documentum Administrator, Webtop, or any customapplication using the Content Intelligence Application Programming Interface (CI API). UseDocumentum Administrator to configure CIS. The CI API handles communication amongst theCIS client, the CIS server, and the repository.

• The CIS server performs the automatic categorization of documents based on taxonomy andcategory definitions. It also performs the pattern detection, and triggers the entity detection.

• The entity detection server performs the entity detection analysis using cartridges.• A repository is also required to store CIS data (such as taxonomy definitions, document setdefinitions, and discovered metadata).

The EMC Documentum Content Intelligence Services Installation Guide provides procedures forinstalling the Content Intelligence Services.

Installing Content Transformation ServicesContent Transformation Services (CTS) encapsulates the functionality of all transformationcomponents that includes Advanced Document Transformation Services, Media TransformationServices and Audio Video Transformation Services.

Page 21: EMC Documentum  Documentum® System Version7.2 DeploymentQuickStartGuide EMCCorporation CorporateHeadquarters: Hopkinton,MA01748-9103 1-508-435-1000

Manually Provisioning a Documentum Environment

Install CTS products using separate installers, depending on your needs. If necessary, you can installall three CTS products on the same CTS host:

• Documentum Advanced Document Transformation Services (ADTS)

• Documentum Audio Video Transformation Services (AVTS)

• Documentum Media Transformation Services (MTS)

You need to install Content Transformation Services DAR files before configuring ContentTransformation Services. Install the DAR files in the global repository and in each repository whereContent Transformation Services must be configured. Install the following DAR files:

• Rich Media Services

• Transformation

• CTS Aspects

You can use the DAR installer program to provide installation, repository, and global registryinformation dynamically.

DFC must be installed in the same location as Content Transformation Services. The EMCDocumentum Content Transformation Services Installation Guide provides procedures for installingthe Content Transformation Services.

Deploying Documentum AdministratorDocumentum Administrator is a Content Server and repository administration tool. DocumentumAdministrator runs on an application server host.

Before Documentum Administrator can connect to repositories, you must provide connection brokerand global registry values in dfc.properties. Documentum Administrator requires a Content Serverversion 6 or later global registry. The global registry is a central repository that serves several purposes:

• Deploys service-based business objects (SBOs)

• Stores network location objects

The EMC Documentum Administrator Deployment Guide provides more information about deployingthe Documentum Administrator on the application server host.
