I am using a current CMOD Linux v.10.5 server.  I use the OnDemand Client to query the list of documents that I want to retrieve. I then create a Public Saved Named Query "DE2024"  It shows me 220 documents in the hit list in the Client.

I then run the ARSDOC GET API to extract the 220 PDF files from to a directory on the server.  The API messages show 220 documents retrieved.  The System Log shows 220 message 66 and 67 messages. BUT, I only get 219 PDF files in the directory. 

Why would I get fewer files in the directory?  How do I debug the missing file? 

I try running the same command for named queries for larger sets of files and find that again I am missing files from what I see in the System Log. 

Here is my command:
arsdoc get -v -h PROD -f "MERCH" -G "MERCH" -d /backup -o "(RUNDATE)(INVOICE)(LOC)(CONTAINER)(MANIFESTID)(NAME)" -q "DE2024"

Hi,

The CMOD instance is back up every night using the db2 backup command (offline). Is it safe to remove the content of the arsdbarc folder after the backup is taken? 

Thanks for your help,

     As part of regular maintenance, I am planning an upgrade to the latest fixpacks for an RHEL 8 system with CMOD 10.5.0.6 and DB2 11.5.8.   IBM DB2 support confirmed DB2 11.5.9 released November, 2023 was the last DB2 11.5 patch and suggested I go to DB2 12.1.   IBM CMOD support said they support DB2 12.x, but CMOD hasn't been certified with DB2 12.x which means IBM Passport Advantage doesn't give me the option to download DB2 12.1 with my CMOD license.  IBM CMOD support confirmed CMOD 10.5.0.9 will be released in April, 2025 and IBM Passport Advantage support passed this along: "In discussion with the CMOD Chief Architect yesterday, the plan is for CMOD 10.5.0.9 to officially support Db2 12 by the end of 1Q-2025.".    In April, it looks like we should have access to download CMOD 10.5.0.9 and DB2 12.x from IBM Passport Advantage.

Thanks Ed!

I inquired informally and got the following answer:

>>> There is no specific doc for this but that load balancer should have session affinity.

Note:   the salesinvoice.ind and salesinvoice.out files are to be copied to a temporary directory to prevent inadvertent deletion.

Then the .ind will need to be updated to point to the location of the .out file.

I have a question about load balancing that I can't find in the documentation, and I need for a project.
We use ICN to view data stored in CMOD, and use the round-robin approach to our servers for load balancing.

(We store the data currently in DB2 databases.)

My question is - Does ICN need persistence load balancing?   Or is the round-robin method for logging into ICN handling those potential needs.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Had the exact same issue. Tracked it down to the following:
In your WebSphere Console navigate to Environment -> Shared Libraries
Select the ECMClientSharedLib and verify that the listed jar files are correct.

What I noticed is that the names did not match with the actual file names.

Hrm.  I was hoping the indexing parameters would be helpful, but I don't see anything there. 

It sounds like these are temporary files - is your ARS_TMP configuration parameter set to the same directory that you're loading from?  If so, changing it to another directory might move these out of the way, although it doesn't answer the question about what's in them.

You can use the UNIX/Linux 'file' command to see if the OS recognizes the file format:
  file Load.File.PDF.out?

This should give you the best guess for each data type.  If it can't determine what it is, the response will be 'data'.

-JD.

Just updating this to say that CMOD hasn't exposed any new errors in Db2 since my last update.
