Hi,
I want to migrates all documents from documentum environment to salesforce..... Any one help me
Thanks in advance
are you moving away from documentum? If yes then you need to write a custom program in DFC as there is no tool available from EMC to migrate the contents. If you want a connector, where you can integrate with Salesforce, then contact your EMC sales representative where they can give information on Salesforce connector.
Salesforce is not for content manangement. If you would want to access documents stored in Documentum from Salesforce, this should help "EMC Documentum Content Services for Salesforce CRM"
Explain the requirement in detail. If you want to just migrate documents from Documentum to Salesforce, use the DFC apis to fetch documents from Documentum and Salesforce apis (www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/index.htm) to feed documents into it.

As Karthik mentioned, the short answer is migrating the documents into Salesforce.com can be done. I am not aware of any existing migration tools that automate the entire process, however Salesforce.com has a very simple tool called DataLoader that can load metadata and documents based on a CSV. Our (TSG) open source migration tool (OpenMigrate), at its simplest use case, has the ability to query to retrieve documents and metadata from Documentum and spit the documents out into a folder structure along with an excel file full of metadata and pointers to folder locations, which theoretically would make the process relatively streamlined.
However, depending on the size of your current Documentum repository vs number of prospective Salesforce.com users, you may find yourself quickly exceeding the file storage limit for Salesforce.com. Page 5 of the link below starts listing some of the limitations size wise. We have had some Documentum clients with some extremely large documents as well as repositories, so this is a consideration you want to keep in mind unless you are looking to pay a rather steep cost to increase your storage.

What Karthik also references with his blog post is a concept we are toying with that also has some legs, which involves maintaining your current knowledgebase of documents in an ECM solution while being able to tie them to records in Salesforce.com. This is similar to some other Salesforce.com cloud integration offerings such as SpringCM & Box.net. This allows your ECM system to function as a content storing hub, and prevents Salesforce.com from having to house a large amount of documents while still being the streamlined interface that users use.
Hope that helps,
Michael
If you're retiring documentum, what's your ECM platform? As Karthik and Michael said, salesforce is not a content storage solution. You need a backend hub to store all content and salesforce can retrieve all data thru the connected workspace. We did a migration of over 500 million objects span across few repositories and WE USED FME Migration center. You may reach out to them and see if they have the right adaptor for your target solution. I know they support OTCS,DCTM CS, Sharepoint, Alfresco.
