IBM Content Navigator, Version 2.0.3

IBM CMIS for Content Manager OnDemand implementation of the OASIS CMIS specification

IBM® CMIS for Content Manager OnDemand includes a limited set of read-only functions from the CMIS specification. IBM CMIS for Content Manager OnDemand does not support creating, updating, or deleting tasks.

IBM CMIS for Content Manager OnDemand Version 2.0.3, implements OASIS CMIS V1.0 with errata specification, which is available at: https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=cmis. The implementation is based on IBM Content Manager OnDemand Web Enablement Kit (ODWEK) Java API.

One deployed instance of IBM CMIS for Content Manager OnDemand can be configured to work with only one IBM Content Manager OnDemand server.

CMIS repositories
A CMIS repository is mapped to a single IBM Content Manager OnDemand folder. because searches in IBM Content Manager OnDemand are performed on folders and are limited to a single folder. Therefore, an IBM Content Manager OnDemand folder fulfills the OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services query specification requirement that requires that queries are scoped to a single repository.
CMIS navigation services and root folders
IBM Content Manager OnDemand does not have a root folder. Therefore, it implements the minimum root folder requirements of the OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services specification.
Document retrieval
IBM Content Manager OnDemand does not support OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services folders. Therefore, you must retrieve documents by using the document IDs, by running a query, or by using the unfiled service collection.
Filed and unfiled documents
All documents in IBM Content Manager OnDemand are unfiled. Documents in IBM Content Manager OnDemand are not filed in folders
Relationships
Relationships are not implemented in IBM CMIS for Content Manager OnDemand
Policies and security
Policies and ACLs are not implemented in this version of the IBM CMIS for Content Manager OnDemand
CMIS document and folder types
Type information is retrieved from the IBM Content Manager OnDemand folder. An IBM Content Manager OnDemand folder is the mechanism through which users search for documents that have common properties; therefore, the folder contains the metadata information as IBM Content Manager OnDemand criteria.
Documents
An IBM Content Manager OnDemand document contains metadata and non-formatted data.
Content streams
The nonformatted data from an IBM Content Manager OnDemand document is retrieved in a byte array from the first content stream in the CMIS document.
Versioning
IBM Content Manager OnDemand does not support document versions, so thecmis:versionable attribute will always return false. The getAllVersions method will always return a single version. The checkout and checkin methods will issue notSupported exceptions or return empty lists if the method cannot issue this exception.
Folders
IBM Content Manager OnDemand does not have folders (OASIS CMIS folders that are used for filing documents). Therefore, IBM CMIS for Content Manager OnDemand implements the minimum folder requirements of the OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services specification.
Paging
The IBM CMIS for Content Manager OnDemand implementation for paging a list of query results is not efficient. Therefore, you should use queries that do not return a large number of results. If a query contains a large number of results, the performance of the IBM CMIS for Content Manager OnDemand server can be impacted.
Full text search
IBM Content Manager OnDemand does not expose full text searching through the ODWEK API. Therefore the cmis:fulltextIndexed property returns a value of false.
Query limitations
IBM Content Manager does not support all of the query operations that are supported by OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services.
