Obviously you need to install a Content Server, if you already have one you can install the DFS standalone in your development computer to avoid modifying an existing content server configuration. Then you need Visual Studio and the DFS SDK.

You can find some more information in powerlink, look for the DFS development guide pdf. If you're not forced to use DFS, consider using CMIS as it is the way to go, and with Apache Chemitry is really easy to use.

Documentum Support for CMIS, started with 6.7 Content Server.... hence you will have to upgrade from your Developer Edition.... which is quite old now..... 6.7 has been out a good while and 7.0 is due...

Might have to try the last one myself....

Given the choice I would use DFS, which is a set of web services. DFS SDK is avaliable on the Developer Edition but it is a bit tricky to find. To access..

Start Composer ( that is an Eclipse based repository configuration tool, used to create new types, permission sets, ....
Create a new Documentum Project (File->New Project, select Documentum Project from wizard)
Use default name and locations, not intersted in these
During project creation, depending on how slow your machine is, you will see the wizard create something called DocumentumCoreProject.
After the wizard has finished and you can not see the DocumentumCoreProject then change back to Java perspective:
- Menu: Window->Open Perspective->Java
- or: Java button on top right of Eclipse/Composer UI
In DocumentumCoreProject you should see dfs6.5 folder. This is the SDK

For more info (tips and tricks) on Composer, check out Paul Warren blog.... for example this explains howto get the Composer functionality into your latest copy of Eclipse.....

and this one which has note about DFS in it

The DFS URL on your developer edition would be

http://localhost:9080/services/core/ObjectService

or maybe

http://localhost:8080/services/core/ObjectService

Not really, from CMIS Release Notes:

One of the following product versions is a prerequisite for Documentum CMIS:

• Content Server 5.3, 5.3 SPx, 6, 6 SP1, 6.5, 6.5 SP1, 6.5 SP2 6.5 SP3, 6.6 or 6.7

You can use CMIS with any CS version...
