Performing DMS actions without using multiclip control?

Peter__Chung

I need to devise another way of utilizing DMS functionality without using the multiclip control.  Basically, I need to be able add, check-out, check-in, etc. using Sharepoint as the DMS, but without using the multiclip control, say like having some buttons which would perform the same functions as the multiclip provides.

 

I think I would need to write some server scripts that make use of some components (like the DMS Provider library?)  that Metastorm already provides, but I wouldn't know where to start since I have not worked with server-side scripting.

 

Does anyone know how to go about doing this, or have a simple example of calling some built-in methods to perform some typical DMS actions?

You are right, if you don't want to use the clip functionality you have to write your own dms helper methods to integrate into Sharepoint.

 

One way could be the Sharepoint HTTP RPC Interface.

I hope this helps
