Hi Anupam, I did not see a ticket from you about the DOCUMENTUM environment variable and the dmcl.ini vs. dfc.properties file. I've created an issue at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-410 to track this problem. It would be great if you could confirm that: (a) the DOCUMENTUM environment variable is still needed at all by DFC, and (b) that when it is set properly, the file dfc.properties can be found at $DOCUMENTUM\dfc.properties (on Windows, at least).
