(1) Describe the Documentum object model (I usually mention

dm_sysobject and custom types to give them a starting point, then I

wait to hear about dm_document, concept of inheritance, etc.)
(2) Describe the Documentum security model (looking to hear anything
about 7 layers of permissions, ACLs, user-defined security, folder-
defined security, etc.)
(4) Describe how you would use and leverage third-party data in
Documentum (looking for an understanding of the concepts of DQL and
registered tables)
(6) What tools do you use to create custom object types? (Definitely
need to mention Developer Studio or App Builder here ... if they
mention custom DQL scripts, then this is a plus)
(7) Have you worked with DocApps? (Again, simple question, but if you
don't get a good response, then there are some fundamentals missing)
5.What is docapp?What is the functionality of the DAB?
1. Have you done dump and load? Did you come across any problems with dump and l
oad?
4. What is the difference between a group and role?
5. Difference between role and domain?
6.If we get an "Page can not be displayed" message while logging in to the appli
cation what are steps you take to resolve it.
# Would you install Content Server, Database, Application server on one machine?

Administration - Important DQLs

How many concurrent connections are allowed by the Content Server:
SELECT concurrent_sessions FROM dm_server_config
What is the default location for server log files:
SELECT log_location FROM dm_server_config
List the machine names where connection brokers reside:
SELECT projection_targets FROM dm_server_config
What is the oldest client version from which the repository will accept a connec
tion (0=any version):
SELECT check_client_version FROM dm_docbase_config
Object type for DocApp is dm_application
mportant jobs
1. DMClean The DMClean job removes deleted and orphaned objects from the
Docbase.
2. DMFilescan The DMFileScan job removes deleted and orphaned content files from
the file system.
3. LogPurge The Log Purge job removes server and session logs from the Docbase
and file system.
4. ConsistencyChecker The Consistency Checker job runs 77 referential integrity
checks on
the Docbase.
5 UpdateStats The Update Stats job updates database table statistics and repairs
fragmented tables
6. QueueMgt The QueueMgt job deletes dequeued Inbox items from the Docbase.
7. StateOfDocbase The State of the Docbase job produces a report of the reposito
ry
environment and statistics about object types.
(71) How can we implement security in documentum?
A distributed repository configuration serves geographically distributed users,
though it could be used for another purpose (such as load-balancing) as well.
At a high level repository configurations are categorized into single-repository
and multiple-repository models.
In the single-repository model, the following configurations are available:
1. Simple Repository - This is the basic, out-of-box installation configuration
which uses one content server for one repository and there is no relation betwee
n one repository and another.
2. Multiple Servers - Multiple content servers serve one repository. These conte
nt servers can provide load balancing.
3. Multiple Servers, Distributed Content - Content files can be distributed amon
g the servers based on criteria such as geographical usage patterns. In this cas
e content replication can be used to improve performance for content retrieval.
In the multi-repository model, the following options are available:
1. Object Replication - Object replication makes objects (metadata and content)
available across separate repositories.
2. Federations - A repository federation consists of a set of repositories, one
of which is a governing repository. It manages global users, groups, and externa
l permission sets which are propagated to the other member repositories.
