Disable Oracle DCS

Oracle DCS is disabled in the Digital Experience 95 Cumulative Fix and Container CF205 release.

Beginning with Digital Experience 95 CF205 release, Oracle DCS service for Digital Experience Document Conversion Service is removed and will be replaced with an HCL supported DCS services. Because of this change, when you upgrade to CF205, you must take a note of the DCS files backup scenarios:

  • If you are upgrading from CF202 or later, Oracle DCS files will be automatically backed up to your Digital Experience profile location and you can continue to utilize Oracle DCS.
  • If you are upgrading from CF201 or earlier, you must manually back up your existing Oracle DCS files.

If you do not have the backup of the DCS files: Do not set the disableStellentDCS flag to false or run the manual tasks if you do not have the backup of the Oracle DCS files in your DX environment.

If you want to continue using Oracle Stellent DCS with Digital Experience CF205 or later upgrade, ensure that disableStellentDCS=false is configured in wkplc.properties before running the applyCF.sh|bat command or pass -DdisableStellentDCS=false on the command line when running the applyCF.sh|bat command.

If you are upgrading to a Kubernetes deployment, see Replacing Document Conversion Services with Apache Tika.

Enabling DCS manually

You can enable DCS manually anytime. For example, if you run applyCF without setting the disableStellentDCS flag to false or if you decide to set and use Oracle DCS again as your DX DCS, you can manually re-enable by running the following ConfigEngine task.

ConfigEngine.sh|bat action-re-enable-stellent-dcs

Disabling DCS manually

If after enabling Oracle DCS as DX DCS, you prefer not to use it, you can manually disable Oracle DCS by running the following ConfigEngine task:

ConfigEngine.sh|bat action-disable-stellent-dcs
