1 System Design and Architecture Server Configurations

Combined Server Configuration

Within the Combined server configuration, only one FileNet Image Services server exists and it hosts all IS services. The Combined server configuration is typically used in development or small production environments. The figure below shows the typical configuration for a Combined server system.

Combined server

storage library

physical network connection

print station

scan station

workstation

In this configuration the root/index, the Storage Library services, and all additional services reside on the same Combined server system.

Dual or Multiple Storage Library Server Configuration

In a Dual or Multiple Storage Library server configuration, at least two FileNet Image Services servers exist. The first server hosts the root/

November 2006

Image Services System Reference Guide, Release 4.0

17

1 System Design and Architecture Server Configurations

Index services and the other server(s) hosts only the storage library service. The RDBMS software is installed only on the Root/Index server. There can be more than one Storage Library server installed on a Multiple Storage Library server system. The figure below shows the typical configuration for a Dual server system.

workstation

If the Application server is hosting either Process services, SQL services or VW services, the RDBMS software is installed on both the Root/Index server and the Application server. Otherwise the RDBMS software is installed only on the Root/Index server. You can add more than one Application server to the system if the requested resources outstrip the ability of the first Application server.
November 2006 Image Services System Reference Guide, Release 4.0 19

1 System Design and Architecture Server Configurations

The following services can exist on more than one Application server in a system: Batch services Cache services Print services Structured Query Language services Process services VW Services

The Application server configuration provides maximum system performance since the Application server can be configured to assume responsibility for services that might otherwise slow the other servers in the system.

Entry Server Configuration

An Entry server configuration (a Remote Entry server system) consists of two or more servers. The Remote Entry server (RES) is configured as a Combined server without any storage library devices attached. Documents are scanned in at the Remote Entry server and sent over the network to a system that has storage capabilities.

Directory Contents
While the directory structure may be different depending on server usage or platform differences, all Image Services servers have the programs, shared libraries, tools, etc., residing in the same relative directory locations. The following sections provide a general overview of the contents of FileNet Image Services directories. The actual path designation varies according to the platform.

/fnsw/bin
The /fnsw/bin directory contains FileNet-specific tools and application programs. For a complete discussion on the tools located in the /fnsw/ bin directory, consult the System Tools Reference Manual. If you are not authorized to perform support functions on your FileNet system, you will not have access to this manual.

The default path is: UNIX: /fnsw/bin Windows: \fnsw\bin

/fnsw/dev/1
On the UNIX platform, the /fnsw/dev/1 directory contains links/device files to Image Services and FileNet-controlled RDBMS database files. This directory contains pointers to raw partitions containing data in MKF databases, the FileNet-controlled RDBMS database, and cache. The actual data is in different physical locations and their directory names depend on the server platform. On the Windows platform, the data files physically reside in the \fnsw\dev\1 directory. This directory is the default location for MKF database, RDBMS, and cache files. The user determines on which disk drive to place MKF database and cache files. The user can use the FileNet utility, fn_edit, to identify file locations. The default path is: UNIX: /fnsw/dev/1 Windows: \fnsw\dev\1

/fnsw/diag (UNIX Only)

The /fnsw/diag directory contains hardware diagnostics programs and utilities specifically related to storage library devices.

through backups and restores. Restores are performed infrequently, usually to recover from a disk failure or other disaster.

BS (Batch Services)
The Batch services are responsible for creating, updating, and deleting batches; keeping track of image and index verification status; accumulating batch totals; creating documents from images; maintaining the batch queues; and maintaining the transient database of batches in progress. A batch service has a three-part name with the batch service name first, followed by the system name followed by the organization: BatchService:pubs:FileNet.

CS (Cache Services)
The Cache services are responsible for moving documents between different caches; the services are also responsible for overall cache management. Cache services provides clients a magnetic disk based storage and retrieval mechanism for objects. Routines are provided to log on to or log off from a cache service, to create, open, close, read, write, delete, move, rename, and copy objects, to get attributes of a cache, and to list objects in a cache.

DM (Database Maintenance)
The database maintenance subsystem is a collection of programs that give the user the ability to set up and maintain database information needed for the storage and retrieval of documents.

November 2006

Image Services System Reference Guide, Release 4.0

DS (Document Services)
The Document services are responsible for all optical disk activity related to prefetching, assigning document IDs, locating documents (by DOC ID), migrating documents (to and from disk), copying, and importing documents.

EV (SystemV Applications Executive)

The System V Applications Executive is a set of applications that manages the state of the Image Services software. The functionality of each application is as follows: Xtaskman is the graphical user interface application used to control the state of the Image Services software, list the current FileNet processes, view the error log, and view RPC activity. initfnsw is the console application used to control the state of the FileNet Image Services software. whatsup is the console application used to list the current FileNet processes. vl is the console application used to view the error log. Xapex is the graphical user interface application used to log into Image Services. The menu options assist users to initiate other server applications after login.

FL (FileNet LAN Analysis Tool)

The FileNet LAN Analysis Tool (FLAT) is a support tool that simplifies local area network (LAN) packet trace analysis. The tool can read and decode the output of network analyzer programs and network packet

traces on UNIX platforms. It provides some FileNet-specific analysis capabilities not found in other commercially-available analyzers and analyzes traces captured from a variety of other tools, such as: LANalyzer and Sniffer, LANwatch, iptrace (AIX/6000 platform only, and snoop (Solaris Operating Environment platform only).

GB (Generic Database)
The Generic Database subsystem is a set of libraries (GDB, GDBO, GDBM, ORA) that handle the interface between the FileNet software and the supported Relational Databases, Oracle, DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server. All subsystems that want information from the RDBMS will call the GDB libraries with their database queries and updates.

HE (Help Error)
The Help Error subsystem controls the areas of Help text and error messages.

IS (Index Services)
Index Services handles queries and updates to the index database. It stores the document index records, document class and folder information, and the data dictionary.

LM (Software License Management)

FileNet Software License Management (LM) is a set of programs and libraries designed to manage the use of various components of the Image Services system that are separately licensed. It introduces the concept of a Licensed User and Licensed Configurations.

MV (SystemV Miscellaneous)
The MV subsystem controls programming utilities, shared memory and killfnsw.

NC (Network Clearing House)

The Network Clearinghouse (NCH) allows the distributed resources to be located. System elements can locate the services by appropriate calls to the Clearinghouse service. The name of a resource consists of three parts that identify a resource object, domain (system name), and the organization (FileNet): object:domain:organization

NL (National Language Services)

The NL subsystem controls the localization tools.

NV (System V Networking)
System V Networking deals with network protocols, Courier, and process management.

2Configuration Files
Each FileNet system must be configured properly before it is used in a production environment. The configuration process includes configuring hardware and software parameters and device files. To manage all configuration settings and maintain consistent performance, the Image Services software uses configuration files to control how each component or device is set up. A typical FileNet Image Services system contains numerous configuration files. Some files contain parameters for several Image Services components, procedures, and databases. Other files control settings for only a single component. Configuration files contain numerous parameters determining the configuration for each component installed on the system. Default parameters are established during the Image Services software installation; however, you can change the parameters when necessary.

2 Configuration Files Configuration Database

Configuration Database
The IMS_xxx.CDB file is the main configuration database file for a FileNet system. It is created and modified by the fn_edit program. For a complete description of the fn_edit utility, see System Configuration Overview. The IMS_xxx.CDB file is located in the following directory (where xxx is a sequentially increasing number assigned automatically by the system): UNIX: /fnsw/local/sd/conf_db/IMS_xxx.cdb Windows: \fnsw_loc\sd\conf_db\IMS_xxx.cdb

You can use the System Configuration Editor to view current configuration information. 1 At the system prompt, enter the following command: fn_edit & Note On UNIX platforms you must be running an X Windows/Motif interface to use the System Configuration Editor. Windows Only: double-click the Configuration Editor icon. 2 Click on any of the available tabs to view the configuration settings.

2 Configuration Files Configuration Database

When the IS software is initially installed, the fn_edit program accesses read-only templates to create the first configuration database file: IMS_1.CDB. However, as you make and save changes to the system configuration (through the fn_edit interface), the version number of the .CDB file increments accordingly. (The earlier .CDB files are left unaffected in the original directory.) The IMS_xxx.CDB file contains information about all aspects of IS software operation including, but not limited to, the following items: Cache sizes and locations Service configurations and locations Dataset sizes and locations RDBMS type and version information Tablespace names and locations Network configuration information Storage library configuration information Peer system information Performance tuning parameters

This section describes configuration files that are placed on the server at the time of the IS software installation. Note You can view any of the files discussed in this chapter using a native text editor (Windows - Wordpad, Solaris - textedit, all UNIX platforms vi, etc.)

erm.msg
The erm file is the main message file on the system containing most of the IS messages. The erm file is located in the following directory (separated according to platform): UNIX: /fnsw/lib/nls/msg/erm.msg

A partial listing of the contents of the erm.msg file is shown below.

UNIX Files The .cat (catalog) and .msg (message) files are provided as part of the standard IS software. Both files contain the same information in different formats. The .msg files are in ASCII and are input files to the .cat files in binary, which are the output files. The UNIX tool, gencat, uses the .msg files to build the .cat files that contain language-specific information for the messages. The .cat files are data files that are accessed by the application programs and cannot be read with any of the conventional viewing commands. The /fnsw/lib/msg.category file is referenced by the msg command to map a message tuple number with the name of a category, usually a shared library. The file is provided as part of the standard IS software. It cannot be read with conventional viewing commands. Windows Files The .dll files are provided as part of the standard Release software and are the equivalent to the .cat (catalog) files on the UNIX platforms. The .dll files are data files that are accessed by the application programs and cannot be read with any of the conventional viewing commands. The equivalent to the UNIX .msg files are not included in the standard IS software. Language Directory For UNIX, this /fnsw/lib/nls/msg/<lang> directory contains the same three .cat files described above but with messages in a language other than English. To use this directory, you set a language environment variable. Otherwise, Image Services uses the English files in the default path. For example, the de_DE, for Deutsche, directory contains

the .cat files in German. The .msg files are created manually in German, and then the gencat tool is run to build the .cat files. Refer to the Image Services System Messages Handbook for more information.

fninfo.msg
The different platforms use unique message resources to provide information on the IS status. The system information file is located in the following directory: UNIX: /fnsw/lib/nls/msg/fninfo.msg

A partial listing of the fninfo.msg (for the UNIX platforms only) is shown below.
... 05953 <170,12,1>For %s tape 05954 <170,12,2>For %s tape 05955 <170,12,3>For %s tape 05956 <170,12,4>Enter 1 (or 05957 <170,12,5>For %s tape (1=yes,2=no) 05958 <170,12,6>For %s tape (1=yes,2=no) ...

tmmsg.msg
The tmmsg file is the task manager message file used by Xtaskman and initfnsw. The tmmsg file contains all of the dynamic task management messages that appear in the Current Status pop-up window when you recycle the FileNet software. The tmmsg file is located in the following directory: UNIX: /fnsw/lib/nls/msg/tmmsg.msg

Generated Configuration Files

All of the files discussed in this section are generated by the fn_build program after Image Services software installation. The information contained in the generated files comes from a combination of system information and information entered in the system configuration database file.

You can edit parameter values in a parameter file with a basic text editor; however, editing methods are operating system-specific. Normally, this file is rebuilt each time the software is started (by fn_build). Changes should be made using fn_edit, except for entries below the #WARNING line. Oracle treats string literals defined for National Language Support (NLS) parameters in the file as if they are in the database character set. Note Additions to the init.ora file below the # WARNING ... line will NOT be destroyed by fn_build.

This chapter lists a number of FileNet application programs used by various components of the FileNet software. All programs that belong to the FileNet software are stored in the bin directory under the fnsw file system/directory for both the UNIX and Windows platforms: CAUTION UNIX: /fnsw/bin Windows: \fnsw\bin

Do not install non-FileNet application programs in the /fnsw/bin subdirectory. A FileNet server receives many different types of requests from its clients. A client may request to scan a batch of documents or store index values in a database. In order to efficiently manage the task of satisfying client requests, the IS software is broken down into separate tasks or services. Each IS service has a corresponding request handler. When a request arrives at a server, COR_Listen deciphers part of the message to find out which service will handle the request. It passes the request to the appropriate request handler (stub).

4Shared Libraries
This chapter describes a number of different shared libraries used by various components of the FileNet software. The entries in this chapter include shared library paths and naming conventions, followed by shared library definitions. Note Support personnel use the terms abstract or shared object when referring to a shared library. These are older terms but still appear in many tools. A shared library is a collection of functions (for example, open file, close file, read form file, etc.). A running process calls the shared library when it needs to perform a function stored in the shared library. The system loads the functions into memory and the process accesses the code from there. Note The Windows platform uses shared libraries called DLLs (dynamically linked library). The programs used by the Image Services software rely on shared libraries to perform their functions. If an error occurs, the shared library usually reports the problem. The shared libraries detailed in this chapter are separated according to the services.

Shared Library Locations

All shared libraries that belong to the FileNet software are stored in the shobj directory under the fnsw filesystem. All shared libraries used by the Image Services software are located in the following path: UNIX Platforms: /fnsw/lib/shobj <shared library name> Windows: \fnsw\lib\shobj <shared library name> (where <shared library name> is the name of the shared library being called.) Each platform uses a unique convention for shared library names. The table illustrates an example of the shared library naming conventions, according to platform, for the BES shared library.

4 Shared Libraries Shared Library Descriptions

Shared Library Descriptions

Shared libraries are used by distributed applications and are often separated into remote (client) and local (server) objects. Note Some shared library names include r or l (for example, BESr or BESl). The r indicates that the shared library is used remotely, and the l indicates the shared library is used locally. (Other letters appended to the shared library names are more or less arbitrary and do not indicate the location of the shared library execution.)

All Services
COR COR stands for Courier. The shared library is executed by a program to transport an image or database information across the network from the server to the client. A request handler calls COR and hands off the server response. COR is involved in getting the server response packed up to travel over the network back to the client. PPM PPM is the Protocol Process Manager which reads the serverConfig file to find out the maximum number of request handlers that can be loaded into memory. PPM is the shared library that reports an error if a request handler cannot be started. PPM starts a request handler if a server stub is not available in memory. Once PPM either locates an available request handler or starts a new one, it advises COR_Listen that the correct stub is now available. PPM is only a shared library or set of functions. It requires a program to call it. For more information on COR_Listen, go to page 73.
