Configure Documentum DMS on an InSight Rendering Server

In order to be able to connect to a Documentum Docbase, you must first install the proper Documentum Foundation Classes (DFC) on each InSight Rendering Rendering server and have the correct information in the dfc.properties file. See the pertinent Documentum documentation for more information.

If you are upgrading your DFC, it is recommended that you uninstall the previous version of DFC and run a registry cleaning utility before installing the new DFC.

If you are unable to connect to your Documentum docbase with DFC installed, this may be because your Oracle Client installation has placed the incorrect Java version in the Path environment variable. To fix this, prepend the locations of the Java\bin and Java\bin\client folders to the Path environment variable.

  1. To edit the Path variable, select Start, right-click on Computer, and click Properties.
  2. Select Advanced system settings
  3. Click the Environment Variables button.
  4. Under System variables, double-click the Path variable, and then in the Edit System Variable dialog box, prepend the value in the Variable value field with the locations of the Java\bin and Java\bin\client folders.
    For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_74\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_74\bin\client;
  5. Right click on Start, select Run, type regedit and press Enter.
  6. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Documentum\Components\DJCB and proceed as follows:
    • If the VMArgs key exists, proceed to Step 11.
    • If the VMArgs key does not exist, proceed to the next step.
  7. Right click in a blank spot in the right pane, ans select New > String Value. Name the new item VMArgs, and press Enter.
  8. Press Enter to edit the data.
  9. Type -Xmx512M and press Enter.
  10. Close the registry editor.
  11. Select OK three times and restart the server.
