How to connect existing application with Livelink

We have an application that collects data (web form) and files (via http upload) from a web application.Once the application processing from our system is complete we would like to transfer the data and files to LiveLink, using the data to set attributes on the files and determine where in Livelink it should be stored.I was reading through discussions and documentation but I'm really not clear on what options we have to do this. My first thought is that the Enterprise Server SDK would let us build some services into livelink to accomodate this (and update our web application to send the data to the new LL service - instead of persisting it to its own db). Is this the right way to do it? Are there other options?Thanks, Jeremy

Many OptionsLightweight programming-using OI module of OT.You set up a XML file livelink does the rest.Files can be made by VBA,perl etc.Module is not free.Medium level programming-Using SDK LAPI using your favorite language you can call LAPI or livelink web services.High-Using Builder SDK youc an write oscript routines

You mention the Object Importer module is not free.But it looks to me that the LAPI SDK and Builder SDK are not free either. Are these two different products or just two options available when you use the Enterprise Server SDK. Is there any method that doesn't involve purchasing a new module?

basically the SDK if you biught it will give you a)Builder and LAPI.I am not sure you may probably get the java version of developemnt tool also.I am not a fan of the livelink java club so have very less exposure to it.Also it means that your livelink should run a J2EE compliant server.Check with support.For minor tweaks here and there the XMLExport and Import API may suffice.There should be documentation for that as well.I think it is a freebie the caveat being the import function is restricted to people with Admin accounts.
