Hi Divakar,

Renditions support is currently in development, but when it is released it will only be available in CS 16.2.X.

SOAP or CWS based is an older API than REST in OT. As such it had methods to get Renditions.

OT has announced that SOAP is feature complete meaning they will not add new things in SOAP but for

a foreseeable future, the existing code will work. Furthermore both SOAP and REST can be extended by programmers knowing Oscript so if you run into a difficulty you can theoretically make one or get one made.

I have a question here. Can a third party system which is integrated with Content server and using SOAP API, search the document from CS and download it ?

Appu Nair

YES it can , provided the SOAP Call is done by a user who is known in CS(nowadays you have to come through OTDS). You can either use the Download through SOAP code or the search XML API(REST) will give you bread crumbs and the DataID so it is common practice to just provide a URL. Most companies have SSO so it will look like "automagic" .Most actions in Livelink will have to be done by a "named user" eating a license. For "indirect access" you may need to ask OT accounting if it can be consumed as typically the intent is for single human use. I am not a lawyer so I would ask OT for a good answer. Technically the system is built to handle any kind of integrations.
