Internally (at OT) there have been a few of us that have played around with asyc connections with Livelink. As far as I know we are not developing anything like Microsoft Atlas at this time.What I've done in the past is use LAPI web services (aka Liveservices) which provide a fairly rich subset of LAPI functionality. You could also use XMLExport or the Search XML API.The LAPI WS approach has worked well for Livelink integrations in a variety of clients (thick, web and smart). As well as from a Customview in Livelink.So, the services are there, it's just a matter of building something to consume them. My team built our own lightweight web services broker and registry in .NET called LEAP (for internal use). Again, we use it to consume LAPI WS in a variety of clients. I'll put LEAP up on the Knowledge Centre and Open Text Online (http://communities.opentext.com) with some examples of usage next week since there have been a few customers enquiring about Ajax lately.HTH,Cory

I'm relatively new at developing in the LiveLink system. Having programmed in C++ and C# for years it seems to be very difficult to find any real documentation on the object model. Maybe i've been spoiled with intellisense, google and books in general. I just can't seem to find any real documentation or general samples. I find so many work arounds and quick fixes in the discussion forums. It's difficult to understand a system that looks to be designed to be as customizable as this, to have so little organized documentation on how to customize it.It could be that I'm looking in the wrong place. Who knows.I would appricate any examples of ajax, atlas, or lapi that you wish to share. Hopefully I can return the favor a few months down the road when I get a handle on how this system works.Thanks in Advance,Michael Woodruff
