Creating IBM BPM documents

You can use the following user interfaces to create IBM BPM documents:

• The "Document List" Coach view (if it has been enabled to allow document creation). See the topic "Storing and viewing Enterprise Content Management documents."
• The Content Integration node that is available in the human service, Ajax service, and integration service editors. For more information, see the topic "Building a service that integrates with an Enterprise Content Management system."

If you use the Content Integration node to create a document, you select the IBM BPM document store as the target server and select the Create document operation. The only required value for this operation is the document name. The object type ID and folder ID are automatically specified because they are mandatory properties when the IBM BPM document store is specified as the target server.

Optionally, you can also provide content and properties:

• To provide content, you can use an ECMContentStream variable. For an example of how to create a content stream, see the topic "Working with document content."
• To provide properties, you can use a list of ECMProperty objects. All properties are optional and will default to a specific value if not specified. For more information about default values, see the topic "The IBM_BPM_Document document type." Details and sample code to construct an ECMProperty list can be found in the topic "Working with the IBM_BPM_Document_Properties property."
