Customizing webtop import component to submit rendition request on imported object

lericho5326

Hello Experts,

I have a requirement to customize webtop import component to automatically submit a rendition job to dmi_queue_item once a file is imported. We are doing this since we are moving out from native CTS rendition. What is the best approach for this?

Thanks!

It depends what tool you are using to generate a rendition, e.g if it expects the queue item to have specific values set. For example, CTS expects the dmi_queue_item.message to be set (e.g. rendition_req_ps_pdf). If all you need is the document ID (i.e. dmi_queue_item.item_id), then you could use the server registration mechanism to register the dm_save event (and possibly dm_checkin and dm_saveasnew) for the queue user used by your transformation tool. This way, the Documentum Server will take care of creating a queue item for that user each time one the above events occurs.

Otherwise, you can either customize the Webtop checkin component or implement a DFC TBO.
