LiveLink Ent Scan integration with external application databases

We are new to LiveLink products and need some help to achieve the following:In LiveLink Enterprise Scan we would like to link pre Indexing tab with external application database for lookup and validations. For example once the operator enters the customer number the LiveLink Enterprise Scan application should make a call to external database to show Customer Name and Address where user can review the information and then submit for indexing and archiving to LiveLink Server.

Don't know too much about the indexing part but LES has a module called webforms and it allows you to look up external databases defined within LES as connections.So with the hlep of OT PSO created an html form,and asked the user to enter a number,hit tab to change focus.This javascript event was used to look up other info in the other database so the user neednot fill a lot of other stuff that would go into the creation of the physical item.Once the item was created in livelink all metadata which was enabled could be indexedNote this soln usedLES,webforms and OI to create the item

As I understand your requirement, thereis a need to fetch customer information from the external database and displayit in the add document screen while adding documents using Livelink EnterpriseScan (former IXOS product). Your options here are e-forms, OScript/LAPI development, or the attribute extensions module.

For a Livelink developer or solution providerwho has a requirement to interact with an external data store, there is a partnerproduct from Corent called Agile Taxonomy. It provides the ability to create a typeof application inside Livelink that can interact with external application databaseon demand through views or JDBC. This product is cheaper than your otheroptions (though far from free), much faster, and also opens up many otherpossibilities in the world of Livelink application development. It also givestwo-way interaction. It gives the ability to create attributes connect to anydata source, or build your own data structure safely inside the Livelinkenvironment. Also you can “template” these applications orattributes for reuse.

Good luck,

as a former Enterpise Scan developer i can give you real hint on that.All indexing fields of ES 9.5 have possibility to call .NET script code for three different actions -> initialization, validation, update. So it is really easy to access database with use of .NET code and validate user input against any database table you like.If you need some more detailed info or help, just send me an email.
