Description

I have found that when installing a clean MCF instance I cannot get Documentum repository connectors to connect to Documentum until I have added this line to the processes/documentum-server/run.sh script before the call to Java:

 

CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH""$PATHSEP""$DOCUMENTUM"

Until I do this, attempts to save the connector will result in this output to the console:

 

4 [RMI TCP Connection(2)-127.0.0.1] ERROR com.documentum.fc.common.impl.preferences.PreferencesManager  - [DFC_PREFERENCE_LOAD_FAILED] Failed to load persistent preferences from null
java.io.FileNotFoundException: dfc.properties
        at com.documentum.fc.common.impl.preferences.PreferencesManager.locateMainPersistentStore(PreferencesManager.java:378)
        at com.documentum.fc.common.impl.preferences.PreferencesManager.readPersistentProperties(PreferencesManager.java:329)
        at com.documentum.fc.common.impl.preferences.PreferencesManager.<init>(PreferencesManager.java:37)
        at com.documentum.fc.common.DfPreferences.initialize(DfPreferences.java:64)
..

and this message in the MCF UI:

 

Connection failed: Documentum error: No DocBrokers are configured

 

 

I mentioned this in #1512 for MCF 2.10 but it got lost in the other work done in that ticket. While setting up 2.11 from scratch I encountered it again.

 

Once I have edited the run.sh script I get this in the console, showing that (for whatever reason) the change is significant:
