Outbound interactions with Enterprise Content Management systems
You can implement queries and services that interact
with Enterprise Content Management servers.
- Authentication scenarios
IBM® Business Process Manager provides three ways that you can grant access to an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) server. You can set a user ID and password for the process application that is recognized by the Enterprise Content Management system. You can design a business process to use personal credentials to control access to specific documents and folders on the ECM server. Or, you can design a business process that uses each method of authentication for different steps in the process. - How to use Coach views to store or view documents
In client applications, you can store or view documents from an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) server by using functions that work with your search results. - Building a service that integrates with an ECM system or the IBM BPM document store
Use a service to allow a business process developed in IBM Process Designer to work with an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system or the IBM BPM document store. - Building a query for an Enterprise Content Management search operation
A graphical interface helps you build a query to an Enterprise Content Management server. - Working with a search result programmatically
Search results can be substantial. Instead of working with a large search result in a user interface, you may want to parse the search results programmatically. - Working with document content
To work with the content of documents, you can use the ECMContentStream data type to wrap a content stream and return information about the stream. A content stream is a stream of data that contains the content of a document, such as a word processing document or an image. - Data mapping in Enterprise Content Management operations
Each operation requires that variables be mapped to the input and output fields. Using the auto-map function automatically creates and assigns variables of the right type to each field.
