VCM tips: jar deployment path/install default user name and password/Oracle database schema clean/VPD file clean

Jar file need to be copied to at least three folders for Dev environment

 

/Vignette/Content/7_6/deployedExtns/ctsvcsext

/Vignette/Content/7_6/deployedApps/VgnContentSvcs.ear/APP-INF/lib

/Vignette/Content/7_6/rtsvcs/domains/vgndomain/servers/VgnVCMServer/stage/VgnContentSvcs/VgnContentSvcs.ear/APP-INF/lib

 

When VCM is installed, if every thing is OK, you don't need system default user name and password, but if install is fail and you need access to the console, default system user name: system, password: vignette.

 

When do re-install for VCM , you need clear all object in your schema, following is an example in Oracle schema:

begin
  for rec in (select table_name from user_tables) loop
     execute immediate 'drop table ' || rec.table_name || ' cascade constraint purge';
  end loop;

 

  for rec in (select object_type, object_name from user_objects where object_type in ('VIEW','SEQUENCE', 'PACKAGE', 'FUNCTION', 'PROCEDURE')) loop
    execute immediate 'drop '||rec.object_type||' '||rec.object_name;
  end loop;
end;

Before you do re-installation, you need check VPD.properties

The vpd.properties file is a proprietary software inventory file created when
you install the V7 Content Suite, which uses the InstallShield MultiPlatform
Installer. This file contains information on the features that you chose to
install on the given system.

The location of the file varies by operating system and by the user who
installed the V7 Content Suite:

Windows
C:/WINNT

AIX
if V7 was installed as root
/usr/lib/objrepos
else
in the user's home directory

Solaris
if V7 was installed as root
the information goes into the system's pkginfo (i.e.,
/var/sadm/pkg). The package names are VGNV7*, VGN_70.tar,
ISCorda*, and ISVIGN*.
else
in the user's home directory

HP–UX

if V7 was installed as root
the information goes into the system's Software Distributor
registry (i.e., swlist (/usr/sbin/swlist)
else
in the user's home directory

Linux

in the user's home directory
