Worksite CAL

Hi,

I'm trying to understand what is Worksite CAL and what can be done with it:

1. What is it used for? Can it be used to make an addon for a CRM application for example? An addon that enables the CRM user access Worksite documents? What functionality will the user have? will he/she be able to access the docs from office as well?

2. How is it installed on the client's machine? (since Filesite/Desksite are not installed).

3. What libraries/objects does it include? iIntergrationDlg? office integration?

4. Is there any relevant documentation available?

thanks,

Gilad

From where did you hear about Worksite CAL? I never heard of this line of product.

There is a new XL file: "Price list with quote generator" that lists all Worksite components.

Under the section: "Worksite Developer tools" appears: " WorkSite Custom Developed Client CAL (Client Access License)"

with the comment: " WorkSite CAL required for each user of a Custom Developed Client ONLY if such user does not already have a license"

The file is available at: http://worksite.imanage.com/worksite/scripts/Home.asp?page=!nrtdms:0:!session:jupiter:!database:iManage:!page:1473:

Sorry, I could not get to the information at visiting the link you suggested. But I did see that for info contact Barbara Stein. You may want to check with her what is in the Worksite CAL.

If it does include the Worksite iTookit (for Worksite NT product), here is some answers to your questions:

1. What is it used for? Can it be used to make an addon for a CRM application for example? An addon that enables the CRM user access Worksite documents? What functionality will the user have? will he/she be able to access the docs from office as well?
The SDK has several type libraries that you may consume to establish a Worksite session for a Worksite user and access and perform most operations. These libraries are COM thus you may use any COM supporting language to write COM Client programming customizations.

2. How is it installed on the client's machine? (since Filesite/Desksite are not installed).
The SDK should be used by experienced customization developers, and typically on a development machine, to develop custom components to be later on installed to production machines. For example, if the customization is to add a new menu item to FileSite/DeskSite, the code would be compiled and a DLL for the code would be made to be registered on the client machine so that the new menu item will be used in FileSite.

3. What libraries/objects does it include? iIntergrationDlg? office integration?
The Office Integration Type Library would be included in the SDK.

4. Is there any relevant documentation available?
There are manuals corresponding to each type library that is distributed with the SDK.
