in Documentum #1

Hi, I am new user to OpenText Documentum. I want to evaluate Documentum for my organization. I have created a Free Trial Account on OpenText, I am going through API documents. The Documentum APIs are well documented, but the URL points to localhost, for example - http://localhost:8080/dctm-rest/repositories/{repositoryName}/archived-contents

My questions are -

  1. Do I have to install and setup OpenText content server on my machine to access these APIs. If I have to install and setup a local instance, where can I get the deployable distribution and setup steps.
  2. If not, Is there cloud instance where I can access these APIs, I need step by step documentation.

I am trying to understand these things.

    You need to have a running instance of Documentum Server (previously known as Documentum Content Server). Documentum REST is an API to access Documentum Server. It's useless without a Documentum Server instance.

    Be careful not to confuse OpenText Documentum Server with OpenText Content Server which is a different product. I'm not aware of any public could instance which you could use.

    Thanks for the answer Sir.

    I am looking for the Documentum Server download, but I cannot find any installable Documentum Server. We need to evaluate the Documentum application.

    Could you please let me know, Whare can I find the download for Documentum Server and steps to setup.

    If there is a cloud instance where we can evaluate the Documentum Rest APIs, please let us know.

    As far as I know you cannot download anything with a trial account. You need to purchase a license. I suggest you get in touch with an OpenText Account Manager to help you out.

    Thanks for the reply Sir. I have few questions regarding the OpenText Developer Console. Recently, I have free trial account from "Plan" section -

    After this, I created an App using Developer Console -

    After this, I received a host URL like - https://na-1-dev.apps.opentext.com. By using this host URL, i could able to hist few APIs from Postman Rest Client, API like - https://na-1-dev.api.opentext.com/organizations/6d86c0b1-d51a-4128-8c35-27a91790bf4b/oauth2/token

    The documentation says this can be used as Content Management Service or CMS. I tried Documentum Rest API with above host, but those are not working. For example - https://na-1-dev.api.opentext.com/dctm-rest/repositories. But this API returns with - 404

    My question is, What is thee use of Console APP ? I want very specific answers for, why cannot we access Documentum APIs like CMS APIs.
