Hi guys,

Not able to connect DFC client to docserver. Please help.

I am using this code here:

https://gist.github.com/tewari2312/b31ecae262328312bb227e101abf27b6

==================================

Java 1.6, dfc.properties file and dfc.keystore is on the path with following jar files as well.

 * <br>aspectjrt.jar * <br>certjFIPS.jar * <br>commons-lang-2.5.jar * <br>dfc.jar * <br>jaxb-api.jar * <br>jaxb-impl.jar * <br>jsafeFIPS.jar * <br>log4j-1.2.16.jar * */

=======================================

here is my dfc.properties file:

dfc.cache.ddinfo.size=10000
dfc.cache.type.currency_check_interval=86400
dfc.data.dir=/usr/wasnd/Documentum/dfcClasses
dfc.globalregistry.password=encrypted password here
dfc.globalregistry.repository=ECM
dfc.globalregistry.username=dm_bof_registry
dfc.search.ecis.enable=false
dfc.search.ecis.host=
dfc.search.ecis.port=
dfc.session.secure_connect_default=try_native_first
dfc.tokenstorage.dir=/usr/wasnd/Documentum/dfcClasses/apptoken
dfc.tokenstorage.enable=false
dfc.docbroker.host[0]=host name here
dfc.docbroker.port[0]=1489
dfc.docbroker.host[1]=host name here
dfc.docbroker.port[1]=1489
dfc.date_format=E M dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy

============================================

This is my code :

		IDfSession session;
		try {
			session = Documentum.createSession(true);
			System.out.print(session.getDocbaseName());
		} catch (DfException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (IOException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

====================================================

Please double check via java -version which java version you are using.

Some of those errors occur if you run dfc on Java 11 without needed JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS

ifti12

so the issue was this line was missing from the dc.properties file.

dfc.date_format=yyyy.MM.dd HH:mm:ss

After adding this all sorted.

Hicham Bahi

According to the message, dfc.date_format was present in dfc.properties but with a bad value: [DFC_PREFERENCE_BAD_VALUE] Bad value for preference "dfc.date_format", value="dd/MM/y, HH:mm:ss"

You can also leave it out and it should work.

ifti12

well if you leave it out

dfc.date_format=

it doesn't work.

only connect if you have this

dfc.date_format=yyyy.MM.dd HH:mm:ss

Ralf K

you can try and add this command line argument:

-Djava.locale.providers=COMPAT,SPI

and leave dfc.date_format empty

Hi Ralf,

That worked, thanks.

Can you help with the code to download folders and files inside any specific folder recursively via DFC code.

thanks
