What’s new in Image Services 4.1.2.8-IS-FP009

DB2 pureScale cluster in a remote database
For information on DB2 pureScale configuration requirements, refer to the Image Services supports DB2
pureScale technote #145762 at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg2145762.


Compatibility
As of Image Services 4.1.2.8-IS-FP008, Image Services supports:
• Oracle 11gR2
For information, see the Support Oracle Database Server 11g Release 2 (11.2.0) technote,
#1441844 at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21441844.
• Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2
• AIX 6.1 TL5
• EMC 3.2 Patch 5
• Tivoli 6.2
For information, see the Image Services introduces support for Tivoli TSM Client API v.6.2.0.0 for
DR550 technote, #1394075 at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21394075.
911 script enhancements

The 911 script has been enhanced to clean up temporary files. The 911 script creates temporary files in
the /fnsw/local/logs/911 directory and leaves these files on the system by default. Image Services 4.1.2.8-
IS-FP008 introduces two new options to clean up the files:
• -r
This option removes the temporary files after they have been collected in the tar file.
• -m directory
This option moves the temporary files to a designated directory after they have been collected in
the tar file. The directory path must be absolute (i.e. start with the root directory '/').
Additionally, the name of the tar file created by 911 was modified slightly. The old format updated
a "version" number each time 911 was executed on the same date (1, 2, 3, etc). This was
replaced by a time stamp for the hour and minute when the tar file was created (in 24 hr format).
This has the advantage of preserving both the date and time when 911 was run in the tar file
name.
Old tar file name examples:
911.20100628.01.tar.Z
911.20100628.02.tar.Z
911.20100628.03.tar.Z
New tar file name examples:
911.20100628.0824.tar.Z (8:24 AM)

911.20100628.1216.tar.Z (12:16 PM)
911.20100628.2153.tar.Z (9:53 PM)
or
911.20100628.0824.zip (8:24 AM)

911.20100628.1216.zip (12:16 PM)
911.20100628.2153.zip (9:53 PM)

The 911 script was also modified to run the command "ipc_tool -P" to dump the SysV process log
and save this to the tar file. This process log provides information on Image Services activity up to
the time 911 is executed.
Solaris known issue
The following known issue occurs on the Solaris operating system only.
The 911 –m command, which moves temporary files (*.wri) to a user specified directory, does not
work. This is because the Solaris operating system cannot process the “grep –q” command. A
future fix pack will fix this issue.
Workaround
By default, 911 temp files are written to the /fnsw/local/logs/911 directory. To move the group of
files to a user specified directory, execute the following command:
cd /fnsw/local/logs/911
mv *.wri /fnsw/local/tmp (or other user specified directory)
Shared memory address allocation

Image Services 4.1.2.8-IS-FP008 includes improvements to the Image Services shared memory address
allocation for Windows that resolves potential memory conflict errors when two or more applications run
on the same server.
For information, see the
FileNet Image Services: Windows Shared Memory Conflict Errors (fnc_shmat failed err=487) technote,
SAS_open timeout
In an unstable network environment, existing ISTK connections may become unusable. This can cause
Image Services software to abandon the existing connection and start a new connection. Error 71,0,2 is
also logged at the same time. The current SAS design waits 30 seconds before re-establishing a new
connection with the client. This enhancement reduces the client wait time by making the SAS timeout
value configurable. For information, see the FileNet Image Services: Technical background and steps to
configure SAS timeout value technote #1442376 at
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21442376.
After installing Image Services 4.1.2 fix pack 008, the following informational message will be written to
the event log:
2010/07/28 23:04:04.077 71,0,7 <fnsw> ds_init (1269906.1.28 0x136092.1) ... [INFO]
SAS init X_sasopentimeout: 30 initialized from '/fnsw/local/trigger/sasopentimeout'
The above message should be ignored if the default 30 second timeout is set.


Software tags for product identification
As of 4.1.2.7-IS-FP007, software tags are available as a common solution for identifying the product
name, product version, and fix pack level installed. This information is now standardized, making
collecting system information more efficient for support teams, automated problem determination and
compatibility advisors.
The fn_util updaterdb utility

As of 4.1.2.7-IS-FP007, the fn_util updaterdb utility was fixed for FileNet-controlled Oracle 10g and later,
to automatically execute the Oracle ALTER TABLESPACE command for all SYSAUX datasets that used
fn_edit to add Image Services configuration.
Oracle 10g introduced a new SYSAUX tablespace that provides storage of non-sys-related tables and
indexes that were formerly stored in the SYSTEM tablespace.
Prior to the 4.1.2.7-IS-FP007 fix pack, you were able to add additional SYSAUX datasets in Image
Services configuration, but running fn_util updaterdb did not execute the Oracle command to actually add
them to the SYSAUX tablespace. To work around this missing functionality, it was necessary to execute
the ALTER TABLESPACE command directly in Oracle.
Since fn_util updaterdb has been fixed to recognize SYSAUX datasets in Image Services configuration, it
now automatically runs the ALTER TABLESPACE command for all SYSAUX datasets that were added to
IS configuration using fn_edit ("Procedures" tab -> "Create an optional relational DB dataset").
For FileNet-controlled Oracle customers that have added additional SYSAUX data files directly in
Oracle outside of Image Services tools as a workaround prior to this fix
Before using fn_edit to add or modify any SYSAUX datasets-related configuration and running fn_util
updaterdb, there are important instructions to follow to ensure that any of the SYSAUX datafiles that were
manually added as a workaround are not erased and reused after the command is executed.
For mandatory instructions, see the New requirement for FileNet-controlled Oracle environments that
have added additional SYSAUX datafiles technote # 1430301 at
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21430301.
Do not use fn_edit to change any SYSAUX-related configuration, and do not run fn_util updaterdb for any
reason until you have followed the instructions in the technote.

getaddrinfo() to resolve host names and determine whether the IP addresses are considered local
addresses:
• HAnetcheck is for Image Services
• Wal_getnetaddr is for Image Services Toolkit
For more information, see the Tools for troubleshooting Image Services and ISTK network configuration
technote, #1418610 at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21418610.

High availability clustering

As of Image Services 4.1.2.6-IS-FP006, Image Services simplifies Image Services High Availability
clustering configuration by dropping the requirement to re-configure the host file or DNS server.
For more information, see the Configuring Image Services 4.1.2 for HA cluster environment technote,
Enhanced Document Security

As of Image Services 4.1.2.6-IS-FP006, Image Services has enhanced document security. For details,
see the Implementing Enhanced Document Security document in the IBM FileNet Image Services
documentation.


Compatibility
• Windows 2008 SP2
New –s option for the sgs_tool on Solaris operating systems

As of Image Services 4.1.2.5-IS-FP005, a new -s option was added to the sgs tool on Solaris operating
systems, which lists SDS device information.(The sgs_tool -s options is already available on the
remaining supported operating systems. )
New options for the FNL_disp tool

As of Image Services 4.1.2.5-IS-FP005, two new administrator options were added to the FNL_disp tool
that output additional information about interlocks:
• -l
The -l option detects and prints out interlocks that are owned by abstracts that have leaked. That
is, the -l option is specifically for interlocks that have been allocated, used, and released but
cannot be reclaimed.
• -o
The -o option writes the number of interlocks that are owned by each abstract to the stdout
output. The information is listed in descending order according to the number of interlocks.
Additionally, the -o option also lists the number of interlocks that are in use but have never been
de-allocated, and the number of interlocks that have been de-allocated at least once.
911 script modifications

As of Image Services 4.1.2.5-IS-FP005, the 911 script was modified to:
• Handle compressed core files
• Specify an additional core file output directory
By default, the 911 script searches for core files the under /fnsw directory and the home directory of the
fnsw user. However, you can now use the chcore command to set the location of the core files. This
feature provides you with the advantage of creating core files in a file system that is not the file system
that Image Services uses. Thus, preventing the Image Services file system from filling up.
If you use an additional core file directory, you can configure 911 to also search that directory. You
accomplish this by placing the new directory name in a trigger file that is called:
/fnsw/support/extra_core_directory.
For example, if the new core file directory is /tmp/corefiles, then run the following command to create the
new trigger file:
echo /tmp/corefiles > /fnsw/support/extra_core_directory
The full path to the new directory must be entered. Make sure that the permissions for the new directory
allow access by the fnsw user. The /fnsw/support/extra_core_directory trigger file can be modified or
removed at any time other than when the 911 script is running. The core files can also be compressed to
save space (911 will uncompress the core files for analysis then compress them again).


Compatibility
• Tivoli TSM Client API 6.1.0.0 on AIX, Solaris, and Windows.
New doctaba_retent_update tool

As of Image Services 4.1.2.4-IS-FP004, Image Services introduces the doctaba_retent_update tool,
which synchronizes doctaba with changed document class disposition settings.
For more information, see the New tool to synchronize doctaba with changed document class disposition
settings technote, #1384170 at:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&q1=doctaba_retent_update&uid=swg21384170
New configuration for single document storage (SDS) write operation

As of Image Services 4.1.2.4-IS-FP004, you can now configure the SDS write operation to occur either
before or after fast batch cataloging and breakup. In the latter case, newly committed documents are
available to users even if the SDS device is not available.
Multiple COR_Listen processes

As of Image Services 4.1.2.4-IS-FP004, Image Services supports multiple COR_Listen processes. You
can configure multiple COR_Listen processes to improve system performance. For example, with multiple
COR_Listen processes, you can work around the TCP accept limit of 2,200 TCP accepts per second per
address.
For more information, see the Image Service Multiple COR_Listen process configuration technote,
#1393897at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&q1=multiple+COR_listen&uid=swg21393897
NCHI_RetrieveAddresses call deprication

The NCHl_RetrieveAddresses was deprecated from Image Services as of 4.1.2 and if this call was used,
Image Services logged an error without the IP address of the client that makes this call. As of Image
Services 4.1.2.4-IS-FP004, Image Services logs an error and includes the client IP address responsible
for the call.
Syslog semaphore replaced with a spinlock timeout

As of Image Services 4.1.2.4-IS-FP004 the syslog semaphore has been replaced with a spinlock timeout,
which prevents processes from hanging while trying to write to the elog file.


Compatibility
• EMC SDK 3.2 Patch 3
• Microsoft SQL Server, 64-bit, locally on Windows 64-bit
• Microsoft SQL Server 2005, 32-bit, on Windows 64-bit
o Fn_setup_rdb.cmd was modified to support Windows 64-bit
• ISTK on Windows 64-bit
• Remote Desktop (Terminal Services) in console mode
Monitor network activity

Network activity can be monitored in FileNet P8 System Manager through perfmon, for HP, SUN and
Windows (AIX was already supported).
COLD
Moved COLD message strings from the header file to a url file so that they can be localized on non-
English servers.
Integral SDS
• Image Services supports Integral SDS – Centera on HP Integrity
• Removed Centera ARM requirement for advanced retention in Integral SDS.
• Implemented the Read after Write feature for Integral SDS.
perflog
• The format of the /fnsw/local/sd/1/perflog file was changed between the IS 4.1.2 FP2 and IS 4.1.2
FP3 releases.
• During the upgrade procedure the perflog file needs to be renamed so that a new format perflog
can be created. When Image Services is started, perf_mon will automatically create a new perflog
with the new internal format.
Procedure:
(1) Shut down Image Services.
(2) As the fnsw user, save the old perflog file:
UNIX mv /fnsw/local/sd/1/perflog /fnsw/local/sd/1/perflog.old
Windows rename /fnsw/local/sd/1/perflog /fnsw/local/sd/1/perflog.old

(3) As the root user, install the latest Image Services fix pack.
(4) As the fnsw user, start Image Services.
(5) Verify that the perf_mon utility is running, and that a new perflog file has been created.


Compatibility
• EMC SDK 3.2 Patch 3
• Microsoft SQL Server, 64-bit, locally on Windows 64-bit
• Microsoft SQL Server 2005, 32-bit, on Windows 64-bit
o Fn_setup_rdb.cmd was modified to support Windows 64-bit
• ISTK on Windows 64-bit


Compatibility
• Image Services supports IPv6 network addresses.
Networking
• Significant changes were made to Courier to reduce operating overhead while enhancing
performance and to facilitate IPv6 support.

What’s new in Image Services 4.1.2

This section describes the new features in IBM FileNet Image Services 4.1.2.
Databases
• A new Generic Database data type is now available to support integers that require 64-bit
representation.
• Image Services now automatically attempts to reconnect a relational database connection when a
stale handle is detected. The reconnection attempts and status information are recorded in the
elog.
• Database queries on result set in INX have been changed to utilize cursors rather than the last
fetched Image Services Doc ID for next batch. The cursor is kept open until it is explicitly closed,
or if the database shuts down. This new feature removes the result set sorting based on the
Image Services Document ID column and improves performance.
Oracle
• Image Services now supports Oracle 11g, Release 1 (11.1.0.6) on all supported operating
systems.
DB2
• Image Services now supports DB2 9.5 and 9.5 fix pack 1 on all supported operating systems.
• As a DB2 user, you can specify blob and index tablespaces when using GDB_exim import and
export.
SQL Server
• Image Services supports Microsoft SQL Server 2000 SP4 using Open Database Connectivity
(ODBC) only.
• Microsoft SQL Servers changing of their ANSI PADDING parameter's default value from Off to
On is transparent to Image Services (4.1.2 FP1). Image Services must be able to perform
correctly regardless of the current setting. This setting affects VARCHAR and VARBINARY data
types. When ANSI PADDING is off, the database will truncate trailing blanks in VARCHAR
columns during insert or update. It will also truncate trailing null bytes in VARBINARY columns.
Installation and configuration

• Image Services provides a fresh installer and the ability to upgrade from Image Services 4.0 SP5
and Image Services 4.1.1.
• The upgrade installer for Image Services, ISTK, and RAC supports InstallShield Multiplatform
5.0.3.
• Added weekly cycle build number to fix pack installation logs and /fnsw/hfp/hfp_version file.

Security services
• Image Services supports AES 256-bit strong password encryption for passwords sent over the
network from Image Services clients like ISTK clients, ISRA clients, and JSSI clients.
• Image Services supports enhancements to the Programmable Security Object feature where the
system can use customer specified object names rather than the traditional hard-coded names
like f_sw, f_sql, f_open, and f_maint.
• Image Services supports the LDAP callout feature that allows you to build your own external
authentication module to gain access to Image Services. You are required to perform some
system configuration and software development to utilize this feature.
• Image Services uses OpenLDAP equivalent code to provide service similar to the iPlanet SDK.
The iPlanet SDK software has been replaced by OpenLDAP.
Storage services
• Image Services now has a tool to look for problems with optical surfaces from Sony 14x optical
drives converted to MSAR.
• Image Services supports Centera 3.2 SDK.
• Image Services supports IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, release 5.5.
• Image Services documents can now be embedded into Centera BLOBs rather than writing out a
BLOB that just contains metadata and writing out a separate object that contains the Image
Services document. This increases archiving and retrieval performance since the BLOB and
document can be accessed in one I/O rather than accessed in separate I/O's. It also reduces the
number of objects stored per document on each Centera Storage Node, which increases the
number of Image Services documents that can be stored on each Centera Storage Node.
Multilingual
• Linguistic Review changes with French text strings in the user interface.
• Linguistic Review changes with German text strings in the user interface.
Operating systems
Windows
• Image Services supports Windows 2008 as a fresh install or an upgrade from Windows 2003.
• Compiler upgrade on Windows platform to Visual Studio .NET 2003 (v7.1).
Solaris
• Image Services now supports Solaris 10 in a Zone environment with the Solaris operating
system. This feature only supports Solaris Global Zones and Solaris Local Sparse Zones. Also,
this support does not include optical library support when running Image Services in a local zone.
Remote Deskop
• Image Services now supports Remote Desktop (Terminal Services) in console mode.

System utilities
• Updated the docfetch tool with new parameters:
-f <docid list file> Document Id List File support
-d Debug Capability
• As part of the new Courier implementation in Image Services, new commands were added in
PPMOI.
tp - worker threads status
svc - remote program services status
l - listener threads status
pre - prefetch threads status
These new commands display the new Courier internal information.
• Image Services integrates with XVT 5.8 for User Interface on all supported operating systems
except for AIX.
Miscellaneous
• Image Services supports IBM Tivoli License Manager. Additional files have been added to the
Image Services code base to provide licensing information for the Tivoli License Manager.
• Index Services – Image Services INX_export exports closed documents to CE. This feature
relates to CFS-IS and allows closed documents from Image Services to participate in the
federation process.
• System V Courier – Implement the following inter process locking related improvements in
Courier.
o The get and set mutex calls have been replaced by the AIX primitives: _check_lock and
_clear_ lock
o The sleep 0 call has been replaced by the Yield() call. This means that the process currently
running on the run queue is moved to the end of the run queue to allow other processes to
run.
o Removing the spinning associated with unsetting the test and set variables since there
should not be any contention with other processes.
• Cache Services – Added ELA timers to monitor performance characteristics relating to CSM
objects.

Installation and upgrades

Windows 2008 R2 upgrade
APAR Name Description
Defect ID
N/A The Image Services ControlService fails to start after Windows 2008 is upgraded to
Windows 2008 R2.
For more information, see the Image Services Supports Windows 2008 R2 technote,
#21419876 at
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&q1=Windows+2008+R2&uid=
swg21419876
Identify media
Defect ID
N/A The format of the checkpoint.osa file was changed as of Image Services 4.1 so that
MSAR surface entries can be added to the file. The change caused all of the entries
in the file to become longer.
When the software is restarted after it has been upgraded from either Image Services
4.1or a later release, the Identify Media procedure is performed on each storage
library that is configured on the server. This must be done so that the file can be
rebuilt in the new format.
The Identify Media procedure adds additional time to the upgrade process. The time
needed to complete this process depends on the number of storage libraries
configured on the server and the number of slots in each library.
Excessive disk swapping

Defect ID
N/A Background jobs can cause excessive disk swapping.
Background jobs such as Import, Find Open Docs and Doc Copy can cause
excessive disk swapping, even though fn_edit parameters are set to minimize disk
swaps. This is because background jobs circumvent those parameters.

Limitations
FileNet-Controlled Oracle upgrade

Defect ID
N/A When you run the Oracle 10g pre-upgrade utility (utlu102i.sql) as described in the
"Oracle 10g Installation and Upgrade Procedures (FileNet-Controlled) for Image
Services 4.1.2," guide, the utility creates an output file (utlu102i.out) that has
messages about the readiness of the Oracle database for the upgrade to Oracle 10g.
Along with other messages, the output file contains a false message that asks you to
add the streams_pool_size variable to the /fnsw/local/oracle/init.ora file.
Disregard this warning:
WARNING: --> "streams_pool_size" is not currently defined and
needs a value of at least 50331648
Even though the message indicates, "streams_pool_size" variable is not defined, it
must not be added to the init.ora file until after the database has been successfully
upgraded to Oracle 10.0.2.
Adding the streams_pool_size value to init.ora prevents the FileNet Oracle database
from starting. The streams_pool_size variable is not a valid Oracle 8 or Oracle 9
init.ora value.
Configuration
Enhanced document security
Defect ID
N/A Fn_util mlb_mig_sec_cols does not populate the new f_accessrights_rw, wr and ax
fields.
This command is used for sites that want to enable Enhanced Document Security.
For information on "Implementing Enhanced Document Security" see the PDF with
the same name on the IBM Image Services documentation web site:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/data/cm/filenet/docs/isdoc/412x/DocSec.pdf
Solution
Apply Image Services 4.1.2 FP7 prior to running fn_util mlb_mig_sec_cols.

Limitations
Setup tool
Defect ID
N/A The former setup tool for Windows was not implemented for Image Services 4.1.
Changing SSN, Domain name, WINDOW Event log, Image Services auto start,
Combine/Index setting and Set Drives through the old GUI screens is not supported.
Workaround
This workaround allows you to have the functionality of the old setup tool. It can be
run in interactive or non-interactive mode.
Interactive mode
To launch the fn_setup program in interactive mode, start in the c:\fnsw\bin directory
and enter the program name ‘fn_setup’ or ‘fn_setup.exe’. The installation paths
display followed by a series of prompts. For each prompt, the default response
displayed within the parenthesis is the current configured value or suggested setting
if there is no current value. You can enter a different value or press ‘Enter’ to accept
the default value. When the prompt expects a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response, ‘y’, ‘yes’, ‘n’, ‘no’
are all valid.
C:\fnsw\bin> fn_setup.exe
Installation path for Executables: c:\fnsw
Installation path for Shared Files: c:\fnsw_loc
Is this a Combined/Index server (y=yes, n=no) [y]:
Enter NCH server name [homer1:FileNet]:
Enter System Serial Number [1234567890]:
Windows Event Logging (y=yes, n=no) [y]:
Autostart Image Services Processes (y=yes, n=no) [n]:
Reset file permissions of Image Services software (y=yes, n=no) [y]:
The responses will be summarized as follows and you have the opportunity to save
or discard the changes.
This is the setup configuration:
Combined/Index Server: yes
NCH server name: homer1:FileNet
SSN: 1234567890
Windows Event Logging: yes
Autostart Image Services processes: no
Reset file permissions: yes
Do you want to save your changes (y/n) [y]:
If the response is to save the changes, a message will be displayed prior to each
operation. All updates will be done unconditionally so you will see all the ‘Updating
…’ messages. If you do not choose to ‘Reset file permission’, then the operation to
reset file permission will be skipped and the message ‘Changing permission on
Image Services software’ will not be displayed. Then the program will exit.

Limitations

Defect ID
fn_setup: Updating server type
fn_setup: Updating NCH server name
fn_setup: Updating SSN
fn_setup: Updating Windows Event Logging setting
fn_setup: Updating Autostart setting
fn_setup: Updating Image Services ControlService parameter
fn_setup: Changing permission on Image Services software
fn_setup: Updating NCH database
fn_setup: Installing Image Services license
fn_setup: check log file c:\fnsw_loc\logs\fn_setup\fn_setup.log for any errors.
fn_setup: Done
If the response is to discard the changes, the following message will be displayed
and the program will exit.
fn_setup: Changes are not saved.
Non-interactive mode
For non-interactive mode, the syntax is based on fn_setup on UNIX® with the
addition of some new arguments for Windows. All the arguments are optional and
can be entered in any order.
In the UNIX version of fn_setup, the presence of ‘-r’ indicates that this is a root server
and fn_setup will create the root_station file. The absence of ‘-r’ will do nothing.
There is no way to change to non-root server via the arguments as in the interactive
mode. For the new Windows version of fn_setup, if ‘-r’ is specified, you must explicitly
indicate whether it is a root station. The absence of ‘-r’ will not change the current
setting.
The syntax is:
fn_setup –n <NCH server name> -s <SSN> -r <y|n> –e <y|n> -a <y|n> -d -v
where:
-n <NCH server name> The NCH server name of this server
e.g. homer1:FileNet
-s <SSN> The system serial number of this server
-r <y|n> Indicates if this is a combined/index
server
-e <y|n> Enable or disable Windows event logging
-a <y|n> Enable or Disable Autostart Image Services
processes
-d Update permission on Image Services software
-h Display this usage
-v Verbose

Limitations

Defect ID
For example:
The following will disable Windows event logging and update the Image Services
software permission. All the non- specified configuration will remain the same.
fn_setup –e n –d
will display the following:
fn_setup: Updating server type
fn_setup: Updating NCH server name
fn_setup: Updating SSN
fn_setup: Updating Windows Event Logging setting
fn_setup: Updating Autostart setting
fn_setup: Updating Image Services ControlService parameter
fn_setup: Changing permission on Image Services software
fn_setup: Updating NCH database
fn_setup: Installing Image Services license
fn_setup: check log file c:\fnsw_loc\logs\fn_setup\fn_setup.log for any errors.
Databases
DB2
Database alias

Defect ID
N/A Image Services cannot support a DB2 database alias that is different from the actual
database name.
A remote DB2 database that is catalogued on the client but has a database alias that
is different from the actual database name can cause SNAPSHOT_LOCK to fail
because the alias name cannot be found on the remote DB2 server. Therefore, you
cannot import document indexes and classes by using the Image Services ddexim
tool.

Limitations
Database codepage

Defect ID
N/A If you install DB2 9.5 with the default code page set to Unicode, you might encounter
the following DB2 errors when executing a ddexim import job:
2008/11/21 13:51:38.417 121,9,302 <fnsw> ddexim -sd -i
/fnsw/local/tmp/disk_info/sun225d2r_ART_ADD_ON.db.exp (2583.1.115 0xa17.1)
... [SERIOUS]
Error in GDBD_exec: SQLExecute, STMT 65538 (&000a3220) (../src/GDBD.c, VERSION
4.1.1.0, @3393).
SQLSTATE = 22001, NativeError = -302,
ErrorMsg = '[IBM][CLI Driver][DB2/SUN64] SQL0302N The value of a host
variable in the EXECUTE or OPEN statement is too large for its corresponding
use. SQLSTATE=22001
The error translates to: un225d2r(fnsw)/fnsw/local/tmp/disk_info> db2 ? SQL000302

SQL0302N The value of a host variable in the EXECUTE or OPEN statement is too
large for its corresponding use.
Cause
The value of an input host variable was found to be too large for its use in the
SELECT, VALUES, or prepared statement. One of the following occurred:
• The corresponding host variable or parameter marker used in the SQL
statement is defined as string, but the input host variable contains a string
that is too long.
• The corresponding host variable or parameter marker used in the SQL
statement is defined as numeric, but the input host variable contains a
numeric value that is out of range.
• The terminating NUL character is missing from the C language NUL-
terminated character string host variable.
• Federated system users: in a pass-through session, a data source-specific

restriction might have been violated.
This error occurs as a result of specifying either an incorrect host variable or an
incorrect SQLLEN value in an SQLDA on an EXECUTE or OPEN statement.
The statement cannot be processed.
Workaround
Ensure that the input host variable value is the correct type and length. If the input
host variables supply values to parameter markers, match values with the implied
data type and length of the parameter marker.
Federated system users: for a pass-through session, determine what data source is
causing the error (see the Troubleshooting Guide for procedures to follow to identify
the failing data source). Examine the SQL dialect for that data source to determine
which specific restriction has been violated, and adjust the failing statement as
needed.
sqlcode: -302
sqlstate: 22001, 22003

Limitations
DB2 client version 8

Defect ID
If you are running Image Services with the DB2 client version 8 and want to upgrade
to Image Services 4.1.2, complete the following procedure.
1. (UNIX only) Run 'fn_setup' to change all file permissions.
2. Run inst_templates on both fnsw and root users.
Ensure you know the database instance name (the env DB2INSTANCE usually has
this information). Always enter 'y' for overwrite. Logoff and then re-logon to both fnsw
and root for the new environment variables to take effect. The three environment
variables are:
DB2_HOME
DB2_INST
DB2INSTANCE (UNIX only)
3. Run "fn_setup_rdb -u" to upgrade.
4. When you are prompted to enter the DB2 home directory, accept the default
value. When you are prompted for the version, enter 8.1 or 8.2 or 9.5, depending
on what versions of the DB2 client you are running.
5. initfnsw start.
NOTE /fnsw/lib/shobj/db2lib will symbolically link to something like /home/instance
name/sqllib/lib32, and this will link to something like /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/lib32 for the
version 8 client.
If you are running the DB2 client version 9, repeat steps 2 through 4 to start Image
Services.
Run a fresh install
6. Run "fn_edit", to create a new CDB file, and then select Cancel > File > New.
7. Enter all user interface prompts. When you are prompted for the DB2 home and
version, select the Relational DB tab.
8. Run "fn_setup_rdb -f". (This will run fn_migrate to start a new CDB version.)
9. Run "fn_util init".
10. initfnsw start. You might need to delet snt_chkpt before starting Image Services.

Oracle
rootpre.sh

Defect ID
N/A The following is an excerpt from the Oracle release notes for the 11g release 1
(11.1), dated February 2008, and is about AIX 5L-based systems (64-Bit) B32075-04
and the rootpre.sh script.
If you have downloaded Oracle Database 11g release 1 prior to January 18, 2008
from Oracle Technology Network or media and were prompted to execute
therootpre.sh script, then you must install the rootpre_aix.zip file that is available from
the Oracle Technology Network:
http://download.oracle.com/otn/aix/oracle11g/rootpre_aix.zip

Patch 6800649

Defect ID
N/A When you log in to the operating system as a user that is not the owner of the FileNet
Image Services files (the owner is typically fnsw), and run any Image Services tool
that accesses the database (for example, WQS_tool, ddexim, and so on), it results a
"map:permission denied" error. Although this error is presented, the expected data
output is ultimately returned as well. This error occurs when the permission of the
executable file has the setuid or the setgid bits set. There are certain checks that
Oracle is performing that result in these errors, yet access to the database is still
successful.
Oracle has a bug a subsequent patch on the Metalink support Web site related to this
issue, which is reported on AIX5L-based systems (64-bit) on Oracle database
version 10.2.0.3.0. (It might not be limited to only those versions.)
For a fix to this problem, download Oracle patch 6800649.

Hardware
Adaptec SCSI adapters
Defect ID
Setup of an Adaptec 29160 SCSI adapter in a Windows server
Setup of an Adaptec 39160 SCSI adapter in a Windows server
Setup of an Adaptec 39320A-R SCSI adapter in a Windows server
Setup of an Adaptec 29320ALP-R SCSI adapter in a Windows server
Setup of an IBM 39R8743 SCSI adapter in a Windows server
In the past when you set up a SCSI adapter, you could depend on the default
adapter settings to allow Image Services to control the optical disk drive SCSI
peripherals. You had no need to change the default settings.
However, certain advancements have changed how the optical drives are presented
to Windows. As a result of changes to the adapters and additional BIOS default
settings, the Windows operating system, rather than Image Services, could take
control the drives.
If Image Services cannot control the optical drives, you must change the default
adapter settings. This release note details the adapter settings that present the
optical drives to Windows in a way that allows Image Services to control the drives.
Two symptoms show that the Windows operating system has taken control of the
SCSI peripherals:
• You are unable to configure or access the optical drives from Image
Services.
• Windows Explorer shows a lettered drive assigned to each optical drive.
Having Windows in control of the optical drives is not just a temporary inconvenience
but also a threat to data integrity. The operating system can read and write to the
optical media, potentially invalidating the FileNet data format or causing other
integrity issues.
NOTE
When an Image Services server runs on either Windows 2003 or Windows 2008 and
also uses an Adaptec or IBM SCSI adapter card, the Windows operating system
mistakenly represents an optical drive as a lettered drive when an optical drive is
connected.
Rebooting the server twice typically removes the lettered drive and end the errors.
However, if the problem persists after rebooting the server twice, try disabling the
drive by completing the following procedure:
1. Select Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk
Management > Properties.
2. Complete the step that is appropriate for the operating system.

Windows 2003
Click the General tab and select "Do not use this device (disable)" From the
Device Usage pull-down menu.

Limitations

Defect ID
Windows 2008
Click the Driver tab, and then click Disable.
After completing one of these actions, the drive that was created for the optical
drive disappears from Disk Management and the lettered optical drive
disappears from Windows Explorer.
Continue
To reassign control from Windows to Image Services, use the adapter’s built-in setup
utility, SCSISelect, to specify the correct parameters for the adapter settings. Refer to
the descriptions and tables below for the settings you need to use:
Running SCSISelect:
1. To enter the BIOS phase, if Windows is running, restart the system. If the system
is off, turn it on.
2. When the Control-A message displays, press Control-A to enter the SCSISelect
utility.
3. For each option and description, make sure the value matches that in the table
below. You should need to change only a few values.
NOTE For the SCSI Device Configuration Options, you must enter the same values
for SCSI device IDs 0 through 7.

Verification
Enter the Windows Device Manager. Each optical drive should now display as an
Optical Memory device, preceded by a yellow exclamation point. You will also see
“Note 31 - No driver exists for this device.”, which is normal and expected. If the
optical drives do NOT display as expected, use the Windows Device Manager to
rescan for new hardware, forcing Windows to recognize the hardware changes.
As an additional verification, check that the optical drives no longer display as
lettered drives in Windows Explorer.
Configuration
When your optical devices are recognized correctly, configure them following
standard procedures:
9. Run fnddcfg –u
10. Run fnddcfg
11. Reboot

LUN Device Notes
If multiple LUN devices are attached to the adapter only the first LUN device (LUN=0)
will show up during the BIOS Scan of devices. Not all the devices will be seen at
BIOS Boot time. However, Image Services will find the other LUN devices when it
builds the device entries.
If hardware verification of the attached devices is needed, then the item “BIOS
Multiple LUN Support” could be momentarily set on and a boot sequence would show
and verify the existence of each LUN device.
Storage
MSAR
Erase a “do not use” MSAR surface

Defect ID
N/A If you erase an unlabelled surface that is marked “Do Not Use”, it won’t erase until
the next recycle of the Image Services software. (A recycle removes a “Do Not Use”
flag and retries the erase). At that point, the erase does a sequential database
search for documents residing on that surface. This is extremely slow for large
databases and can take an extended period of time.
Erase an “out-of-sync” MSAR surface

Defect ID
N/A If you attempt to erase an MSAR surface with no active documents on it and the “Do
Not Use” flag is set, the erase will terminate and the disk will be ejected.
If you want to erase an out-of-sync MSAR surface, you must recycle the Image
Services software before starting the erase job. The recycle removes the “out-of-
sync” flag for a retry.

Limitations
MSAR families with multiple concurrent write surfaces

Defect ID
N/A A system that has multiple concurrent write surfaces typically writes to only one
surface and uses any other concurrent write surfaces for overflow purposes if a
bottleneck occurs when processing write requests for the initial surface.
Additional software tuning might be required to best use the system resources and to
eliminate bottlenecks.
200FX jukebox
Defect ID
N/A Product ID C1170A is not in the OSAR contents table for 200FX jukebox. As a result,
fn_edit auto-configure of HP200FX will not complete successfully. Therefore, you
must manually configure the jukebox.
The jukebox, according to the HP website, should be returning a SCSI ID of C1170F
(indicating 4X optical drives) instead of C1170A (indicating 2X optical drives). The
200FX is not a common jukebox. It was never sold by HP but is created with a field
upgrade of a 2X jukebox model.
Operating systems
UNIX
Year 2038

Defect ID
N/A Due to a limitation in the UNIX time functions (known as the year 2038 problem or
the UNIX millennium bug), you cannot set or extend retention dates in the MKF docs
table past the year 2038 on documents that were archived by Image Services
Integral SDS because retention values are stored as seconds in the MFK docs table
and on the protected storage device (SDS).
Documents and SDS objects that are in the doctaba table and that have retention
dates that are beyond the year 2038 will be protected by the retention date because
retention dates are stored in the doctaba table as days and not as seconds.
Currently HCAP and SunSAR do not support retention dates beyond the year 2038
but Snaplock, Centera, and DR550 SDS devices support retention dates past 2038.
IBM anticipates that all supported SDS devices will at some point prior to 2038,
support retention dates beyond 2038.

Limitations
AIX
Installation

Defect ID
N/A (AIX only) If you uninstall Image Services and try to reinstall it, InstallShield indicates
that Image Services is already installed on the server.
Workaround
Delete /usr/lib/objrepos/vpd.properties.
N/A (AIX only) Fn_snmpd writes a warning message in the elog that indicates the
/etc/snmpd.conf file cannot be read.
Cause
The 4.1.0 Image Services installation program does not add the required FileNet
SNMP entries to the /etc/snmpd.peers and /etc/snmpd.conf files when Image
Services uses AIX.
Solution
If the current installation of Image Services was upgraded from Image Services
4.1.0, manually edit the following files as specified to enable fn_snmpd functionality:
• Add the following line to the end of the /etc/snmpd.peers file:
"fnpd" 1.3.6.1.4.1.517 "fnpd_password"
• Add the following line to the end of the /etc/snmpd.conf file:
smux 1.3.6.1.4.1.517 fnpd_password # fnpd
SNMP SUPPORT As of Image Services 4.1.2 Fix Pack 002, SNMP v3 is supported on
AIX only. If you run SNMP v3 on AIX, refer to the IBM FileNet Image Services 4.1.2
SNMP Reference Manual for information about how to make the change.
Maximum shared memory

Defect ID
N/A (Image Services 4.1.2 Fix Pack 006 and Image Services 4.1.3 on AIX only)
Due to an increase in shared memory usage, Image Services can fail to start after
Image Services 4.1.2 Fix Pack 006 or Image Services 4.1.3 has been installed.
Solution
Increase the value of the Max Shared Memory parameter in fn_edit.
1. Restart the server, but do not try to start Image Services.
2. Open fn_edit.
3. Navigate to the Performance Tuning tab.
4. Navigate to the Server Memory tab.
5. Increase the value of the Max Shared Memory parameter.

Limitations
FNPoll

Defect ID
N/A After boot/reboot on AIX, FNPoll continues to run up to two minutes after the system
is available for logon. If you attempt to start Image Services while FNPoll is running,
errors will log and the optical libraries will be unusable. Errors logged might include:
2007/06/22 15:00:41.431 133,0,2 <fnsw> fn_trapd (397514) … [SERIOUS]
ARM Can't open Storage Library a (device name='/fnsw/dev/1/osara'), err=ca64000a

Can't get gripper enabled/disabled status on OSAR 'a'
Workaround
On a full-use system, after a boot/reboot of an AIX system, run the following
command to determine when FNPoll finishes running:
ps –ef | grep FNPoll
Once the FNPoll process is not listed in the process listing, you can start Image
Services.
On systems with Image Services autostart configured, add a ‘sleep’ to the
/etc/rc.initfnsw file to allow enough delay for the devices to be created before Image
Services startup begins. The entry in the /etc/rc.initfnsw file would look like this:
# AIX specific processing
if test "$system_type" = "AIX" ; then
sleep 120
fi
Place the “sleep” in the file before the “Start Image Services” section where ‘initfnsw
start’ is called.
snmpd service

Defect ID
N/A fn_snmpd systemError Warning
When the AIX snmpd service is not running, you might receive a "systemError"
warning similar to the following:
2009/08/05 10:39:29.245 206,1,12 <fnsw> fn_snmpd (274632.1.33 0x430c8.1)
... [INFO]
smux_init() registration unsuccessful - OS snmpd may be down, exiting...
Even though the snmpd service is disabled, you might still see this error. This error
can be ignored.
Workaround
Turn on the snmpd service to eliminate the warning message.

Limitations
Directory for /usr/lib/libMrm

Defect ID
N/A AIX 6.1 installs the file /usr/lib/libMrm.a in a directory that is different from the one
required by the Image Services 4.1.0 installer. As a result, the Image Services 4.1.0
installation will fail when running lic_admin.
1. To prevent this failure, use the following workaround after you install AIX 6.1, but
before you install Image Services 4.1.0:
2. Log in as a user with root privileges.
3. Download and install APAR: IZ13179 on AIX 6.1.
4. Enter: ln -s /usr/lpp/x11/lib/R1/libMrm.a /usr/lib/libMrm.a
HP-UX
Defect ID
N/A The HP System Management HomePage script stops any process that has
“timeoutmonitor" in the name. Therefore, when the script runs, it also stops the
Image Services timeoutmonitor process.
Under some circumstances, this can generate numerous elog error messages.

System failures associated with IS and ISTK shared memory address space allocation

Defect ID
N/A After you install or upgrade IS or ISTK, the address space that is allocated to the SysV
shared memory for IS or ISTK processes might conflict with the existing address
spaces that are allocated by other products. Conversely, after you install or upgrade
another product that is installed on the same server as IS or ISTK, the address spaces
allocated by those other products might conflict with the address space that is allocated
to the SysV shared memory for IS or ISTK processes.
If this address allocation conflict occurs, SysV stops the process that encounters the
conflict, locks one of the shared memory semaphores (which stops other IS and ISTK
processes), and records the following error message (or a similar one) in the IS ELOG
or ISTK ELOG and the Event log:
SysV: Error 487 mapping file view. Process Aborting...
Due to the complex nature of address space allocation, all of the products and
conditions that conflict with the address space allocation of the SysV shared memory
are unknown. Therefore, the actual error message might be different than shown. If this
is the case, contact IBM support to help you analyze the results.
The products that are known to conflict with the address space allocation of the SysV
shared memory are:
• Microsoft SQL Server 2005
• Microsoft security updates - The Microsoft security updates that might conflict
with the address allocation of the SysV shared memory are: KB931768,
KB933566, KB937143, KB931784, and KB937143
SysV creates a memory map, determines the largest area of free memory, and
creates a registry edit file to update the starting address
IS and ISTK provides a SysV feature that troubleshoots and repairs the SysV shared
memory address space allocation conflict. Specifically, SysV:
• Creates a memory map that has a detailed listing of every section of memory
that is used by the conflicting IS or ISTK process
• Determines the starting address of the largest amount of available memory

from the information in the memory map
• Creates a registry edit file that you can run that changes the starting address of
the SysV shared memory to the new starting address determined by SysV
Initiation of this SysV feature occurs

• Automatically, when an address space allocation conflict occurs
• Manually, by creating a trigger file and running the process

Limitations

Defect ID
Create a trigger file

ATTENTION This procedure must be performed by a qualified IS or ISTK system
administrator. If this procedure is not performed properly, it could have an adverse
effect on system operation. Contact IBM support if you require assistance.
The starting address varies from system to system based on the configuration and
other installed software. Therefore, the best address must be determined individually
for each system.
1. If the shared memory conflict occurred during the IS or ISTK startup process, begin
at "Confirm the creation of the virtual memory map..." to view the results of the
SysV analysis of the conflicting process. If the shared memory conflict has not
occurred, begin by creating a trigger file in the next step.
2. Create a trigger file that contains the name of the IS or ISTK process to examine.
IS
For example, "docs" is a sample name of an IS process:
cd \fnsw_loc\sd\1 OR cd \fnsw_loc\sd\1
echo docs > dump_vmap.txt echo all > dump_vmap.txt
initfnsw restart initfnsw restart
ISTK
For example, "my_istk_app" is a sample name of an ISTK process:
cd \client\tmp OR cd \client\tmp
echo my_istk_app > echo all > dump_vmap.txt
dump_vmap.txt
NOTES
• The ISTK client\tmp directory is located in the directory where ISTK is installed.
This installation directory is referred to as WAL_ROOT and is set in the
Windows registry using the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\FileNet\WAL\CurrentVersion\WAL_ROOT.
• Although you can enter any IS or ISTK process name, respectively, in the
trigger file, use the name of the process that links to the conflicting product to
ensure that the trigger file captures all of the relevant libraries in the memory
map. If the process name is unknown use "all" in the trigger file instead of the
name of an unrelated process.
3. Confirm the creation of the virtual memory map by locating the following message
(with a recent time-stamp) in the IS ELOG, ISTK ELOG, or the Event log.

Limitations

Defect ID
IS
fn_NT_VMMap: saving virtual memory map in \fnsw_loc\logs\ims_logs directory
ISTK
fn_NT_VMMap: saving virtual memory map in client_logs directory
If this message is not in the IS ELOG, ISTK ELOG, or the Event log, the virtual
memory map code was not created. If this is the case, contact IBM support.
Otherwise, the following message (or a similar one) is recorded in the IS ELOG,
ISTK ELOG, or the Event log:
IS
The Windows Registry may be updated to change the starting
SysV shared memory address to the largest free area in memory
at address 0x11000000).
A new registry edit script was created with the name:
c:\Program Files\FileNet\fnsw\etc\shm_c_3172-1320.reg.txt
To change the SysV shared memory address execute this script
after completely shutting down all IS applications.
ISTK
The Windows Registry may be updated to change the starting
SysV shared memory address to the largest free area in memory
at address 0x11000000).
A new registry edit script was created with the name:
c:\Program Files\FileNet\FNSW\client\logs\shm_c_3172-1320.reg.txt
To change the SysV shared memory address execute this script
after completely shutting down all ISTK applications.
SysV stores the virtual memory map file in the \fnsw_loc\logs\ims_logs directory for
IS and the \client\logs\client_logs directory for ISTK, and names it according to the
process name and ID that generated the file. For example, if the process was
MyApp.exe with a process ID of 1234 and a thread ID of 5678, the file will be
named sl_MyApp.exe_1234_5678.txt.
SysV stores the registry edit file in the \fnsw\etc directory for IS and the \client\logs
directory for ISTK, and names it according to the process that encountered the
problem. (This naming convention allows multiple processes to create separate
registry edit files). For example, if the process ID is 1234 and the thread ID is 5678,
the file is named shm_c_1234-5678.reg.txt. The ".txt" extension prevents you from
running the registry edit file accidentally.
4. If you created a trigger file, remove it after you have the information that you need
so that a new virtual memory map does not get created every time the process
runs.
5. Update the Windows registry.
NOTE The "StartShmAddress" registry key does not exist in the Windows registry by
default. This key is created only on systems that need to modify their start SysV shared
memory address so that it is different from the default value that is embedded inside
the code. This default value is 0x45000000, which is the address where SysV starts its
shared memory unless directed otherwise by the "StartShmAddress" registry key.
Automatically update the Windows registry

Limitations

Defect ID
To run the registry edit file and change the start address of SysV shared memory,
complete the following procedure:
6. Remove the .txt extension from the registry edit file, for example: shm_c_1234-
5678.reg. The registry edit files are located in the following directories:
IS
\fnsw\etc directory
ISTK
\client\logs directory
7. Stop IS or all ISTK applications that are running.
IS
a. Run: initfnsw -y stop
b. Clean up all IS processes and resources: killfnsw –Dy
8. Backup the Windows registry.
9. Run the registry edit script by double-clicking its icon.
10. Restart IS or the ISTK Applications.
11. Continue with "Verify the new shared memory start address".
Manually update the Windows registry

To manually update the Windows registry and change the starting address of SysV
shared memory, complete the following procedure:
1. Use a text editor to view the contents of the registry edit files:
IS
\fnsw\etc directory
ISTK
\client\logs directory
They will be similar to:
IS
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FileNet\IMS\CurrentVersion]
"StartShmAddress"=dword:13000000
ISTK
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FileNet\WAL\CurrentVersion]
"StartShmAddress"=dword:13000000
2. Use the regedit command to add or update the StartShmAddress key using the
path and value in the registry edit file.

Limitations

Defect ID
Verify the new shared memory start address

Verify the new start address by running the following command:
IS
ipc_tool –A
ISTK
wal_ipc -A
The new start address displays in the "Address" column for segment #0 under the title
"Shared Memory Address Manager Information."
N/A Windows 2008 users with Adaptec Ultra320 SCSI cards (29320ALP-R, 29320LPE,
39320A-R, and IBM 39R8743) should not use the Windows-supplied drivers
(adpu320.sys) with these cards.
The version numbers of these cards are either v.3.0.0 or v.7.2.0. Image Services
created lettered drive and creates SCSI optical device errors when using the Windows-
supplied drivers. Download the latest non-RAID driver from the Adaptec Web site.
The version of the latest non-RAID driver should be at least v7.00.00.08.
N/A Newly connected optical drives on Windows 2003 servers create errors when
accessed.
On servers running Windows 2003, the operating system mistakenly creates lettered
drives for newly connected optical drives. If you access the optical drive for which a
lettered drive exists, errors are written to the elog but operations appear to run
successfully. Rebooting the server will remove the lettered drive and end the errors.
SCSI adapters
Defect ID
N/A Image Services 4.1.2 does not support the ATTO UL5D SCSI adapter on Windows
2008 servers.

Limitations
System administrator tools

Defect ID
System administrator tools might require locks when updating system and Image
Services resources. If more than one occurrence of the same tool runs concurrently,
the other occurrences will to wait for the first one to release its lock. If you abort or kill
a waiting/hung process, the tool could exit holding a resource lock and hang other
processes waiting for the resource the tool was holding. These hangs can be
prevented by running only one occurrence of any system administrator tool and by
never aborting a tool abnormally.
Workaround
IBM recommends running no more than one occurrence of any Image Services
system administrator tool. In addition, never exit these tools using the “X” in the
upper right had corner of the window, issuing a control-C, or using any other methods
for killing the process. System administrator tools are accessed through Xapex
(Application Executive menu) or through the command line (SEC_tool, etc).
Image Services
Document retention
Defect ID
N/A Federated documents that have their content stored on an SDS device but did not
have their index properties originally stored in the indexing database (DOCTABA)
cannot have retention information updated or activated.
Excessive disk swapping

Defect ID
N/A Background jobs can cause excessive disk swapping.
Background jobs such as Import, Find Open Docs and Doc Copy can cause
excessive disk swapping, even though fn_edit parameters are set to minimize disk
swaps. This is because background jobs circumvent those parameters.

Limitations
Out-of-memory
Defect ID
N/A AIX only
The Find Open Documents command (Xapex > Background Job Control > New >
Find Open Documents) can run out of local process memory when you have an
extremely large number (millions) of documents. You might see a message similar to
this:
202,0,2 opendocs getarea:
No memory available for process. nbytes = 44000048 errno = 12
Workaround
To resolve this issue, modify the /etc/security/limits file to increase the per process
memory size to 512 MB.
Use your preferred text editor to change the following values in the limits file for the
Image Services user, such as fnsw:
fnsw:
data = 1048576
rss = 1048576
(These values are expressed in 512-byte blocks.)
1. Logoff and log back in again as the Image Services software user for the new
values to take effect.
2. Stop the Image Services software.
initfnsw stop
3. Kill the TM_daemon:
killfnsw –ADy
4. Restart the Image Services software.
5. Rerun Find Open Documents from Background Job Control.
Image Services Toolkit

Defect ID
N/A The ISTK 4.1.2.18 uninstaller does not fully remove ISTK and its directories. The files
that are not removed are: /fnsw/client_backup, /fnsw/client, and /fnsw/ISTK_runtime.
NOTE /fnsw/client_backup is a complete copy of the ISTK client directory.

Limitations
Image Services Remote Admin Console

Defect ID
N/A The Image Services Remote Admin Console contains the Catalog Export Tool, which
enables an operator to export document metadata and annotations from Image
Services to CE via CFS-IS.
When using this tool to export only annotations, CFS-IS does not include the state of
the re-export check box. When exporting annotations only (for example, the
"annotation only" check box is selected from the window), the re-export check box
should allow a user to specify whether all annotations are to be re-exported or only
those that have not been previously exported. However, the current release assumes
all annotations that meet the selection criteria are to be re-exported to CE without
regard to the re-export check box state, which results in the export of all annotations
every time.
This behavior is scheduled to be modified in a future fix pack. After the fix has been
implemented, CFS-IS will include the re-export check box state. If the re-export
check box is not selected, then metadata and annotations that have been previously
exported will be removed from the export list.
