DMS Provider Framework and using the GetDocument method

Kaman_Paul

Does anyone have direct experience using the Metastorm.Dms.dll to actually get the document binary from the DB?

 

The attached documentation seems inadequate (from Open Text).

A couple of options I've found:

 

1. Use the ECL.WS

2. Use ReadAttachment.ashx (in Web Extensions)

 

Option 1 is slightly complicated but I imagine will work.  2 seems easier enough but don't know how supported of a feature this is.

 

Also, still would be nice to know if I can use the Metastorm.Dms.dll GetDocument (stream type).

Hi,

 

what do you want to achieve?  Just show the document on a Metastorm form?

 

Building a DMS Provider just for retieving the files stored in the Metastorm database wouldnt be the recommended way forward. The DMS Provider Framework has been built to connect to external document management systems like Content Server.
