ECM: Documentum – .NET


Watched Developing with Documentum in a .NET Environment [10959] today which you can also review here:

http://mylearn.documentum.com/mgrCourse/courseSummary.cfm?id_course=10959&id=194419

Other threads in the forum talk about how to get a login onto this site.

I chose it because we continue to have clients talking to us about leveraging ECM investments they have made more fully. Integrating them into the transactional systems where it makes sense. Some of those clients are MSFT focused (two actually).

Note this webcast is a bit dated (6/2004) but the keys I took away was:

    1. Old School EMC wins. Documentum had a very robust model at the time (2004) for enabling integration from Visual Studio. Better than what I see today w/ Stellent.

    2. New School … Webservices … ?. Documentum was working on (in 2004) webservices. They didn’t have as good as an answer as Stellent had then. However thier strategy is the same (java patterns gen’d to wsdl). I expect Stellent keeps this lead or they are at par at this time.

Not worth listening to directly … my notes should suffice. The speaker didn’t elaborate much from the slides and wasn’t very dynamic either.

Here are the notes.

………………..§ 14:00 – PIA .NET 1.1 based at this time
…………………………□ Installed in global assembly cache
…………………………□ IntelliSense and Object Browser support (bauer thought – sounds ‘simplier’ than Stellent)

………………..§ 17:30 – Object Browser – Full support. See interfaces in PIA. Methods per intfc. Online help.

………………..§ ADO.NET … supports disconnected and connected sessions
………………..§ If you are thinking Crystal Reports … ADO.NET can do more (as shown w/ EMC)
………………..§ ADO.NET is about getting access to data bound controls that can bind to a data structure (so EMC used that)

ECM: Documentum – Imaging

Digging around in EMC’s ‘myLearn’ site this morning. Decided to watch this webcast around BPM and Imaging given the ongoing activity in pipeline around process automation. You find it by loggin in here:

http://documentum.myLearn.com

searching for “BPM and Imaging – KOPC 2006”. FYI, search the forums for instructions on how to get a working login

http://wis-demo.gr.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?p=8607#8607

At 10,000 feet the core message I heard was:

Quote:
1. Nice Overview of an ECM solution 7 minutes in. Wove via four areas. We should leverage similar in position of any ECM (Sharepoint, NW, Stellent, Documentum).
2. Excellent example of collaboration integration to thier business process automation efforts 31 minutes in. In short they create workflow steps that create a collobration space (eRoom in thier lingo) that has defined activities that need to be completed at which point the collaboration room rengages the workflow and archives itself into the process with the other docs being manipulated.

Here are my detail notes:

• BPM and Imaging – KOPC 2006

Pasted from <http://mylearn.documentum.com/mgrCourse/launchCourse.cfm?id_registrant=193270&id_host=325&id_course=18973&gt;
