Hello Techies-
I am reading in Documentum's meta data from a serialized XML stream. This meta-data includes the equivalents for WorkSite posted at the end of this message. While I am cycling through the collection of docs extracted from Documentum (including the originals plus their versions) , I am logged in under one session with a specific profile. Now, my question is: the meta-data that I will have from Documentum will reflect the equivalent of different document profile data. From my understanding of WorkSite's object model, I am making a few assumptions. The first, is that I will need to have active profiles available as valid security objects for the Dctm.ownerName/objAuthor. The second, for those users no longer existing in the organization at the time docs were authored in Documentum, I will still need to create users/profiles. If these assumptions are incorrect-or 'almost correct', please let me know.
The core question that I have, however, is more of a "how best to approact this task" question. Should I be opening another session for each new author as I read in the serialized XML info about the ownerName? If so, my intention is to corral all the documents, retaining their ownership/creation date/etc. data under one public admin-owned (read: conversion application profile) workspace/folder--would I import the document under the second sessionid, then close the session after I've cycled through that particular document set? (read: version 1, through version 1++?) -- then continuing through the broad doc array on the first session?
Any "best practices" advice would be well received!;-)
Warm regards,
Paula
