Error: couldn't find config file 'Notification.properties'

Note: This applies to DocuShare 6.5.2 ONLY

Issue

When trying to run the command line utility dsgetprop the following error is displayed in the command prompt window:

ERROR - Error: couldn't find config file 'Notification.properties'; nested exception is:com.xerox.docushare.DSException: DSUtil.getConfigLocation: unable to find configuration file Notification.properties

Reason

This error is displayed because the \config\Notification.properties file does not exist and the dsgetprop command requires that the \config\Notification.properties file exists (even if its blank).

Solution

Install Patch 9 or higher on the DocuShare server.

Note: Patch 9 is available for download from the following location https://docushare.xerox.com/doug
