Modifying Hidden EMC Documentum Source Parameters

The Add Source and Source: ... General pages of the Administration Tool present the parameters with which you can configure the connector for most EMC Documentum setups. More advanced and more rarely used parameters are hidden. You can choose to make one or more of these parameters appear in the Add Source and Source: ... General pages of the Administration Tool so that you can change their default value. Consider changing values of hidden parameters when you encounter issues.

The following list describes the advanced hidden parameters available with EMC Documentum sources. The parameter type (integer, string…) appears between parentheses following the parameter name.

DocuApiTimeoutInSeconds (Integer)

The timeout value (in seconds) allowed for CES to connect with the Documentum API. By default, there is no timeout value. Set it to 60s when debugging.

DocuIndexAllDocumentLocations (Boolean)

Whether to create one CES document per document location. The default value is true. Set the value to false when you do not want to index a document more than once even if the document is located in more than one location.

IncrementalRefreshDeletedDocuments (Boolean)

Indicates whether to look for deleted documents during an incremental refresh. The default is true. Set the value to false when you want to keep deleted documents in your index.

Use the following procedure only when you want to modify one or more of the above hidden source parameters.

To modify hidden EMC Documentum source parameters

1. Refer to Adding an Explicit Connector Parameter to add one or more EMC Documentum hidden source parameters.

2. For a new EMC Documentum source, access the Add Source page of the Administration Tool to modify the value of the newly added advanced parameter:

   1. Select Index > Sources and Collections.

   2. Under Collections, select the collection in which you want to add the source.

   3. Under Sources, click Add.

   4. In the Add Source page, edit the newly added advanced parameter value.

3. For an existing EMC Documentum source, access the Source: ... General page of the Administration Tool to modify the value of the newly added advanced parameter:

   1. Select Index > Sources and Collections.

   2. Under Collections, select the collection containing the source you want to modify.

   3. Under Sources, click the existing EMC Documentum source in which you want to modify the newly added advanced parameter.

   4. In the Source: ... General page, edit the newly added advanced parameter value.

4. Rebuild your EMC Documentum source to apply the changes to the parameters (see Applying an Action to a Collection or a Source).
