Then, if it is java and you don't have to go http, I'd use DFC. Start with a search (or DQL statement) to get to the document, and get it's content.

Hi,

A few more questions to help specify the task:

Do you have constraints on the language or application environment? Is it java?
Is it remote on the network? Any security/firewall? Have to use specific protocol http, https, any rcp?
How do you know the file? Do you have it's name? Document Id?...
How do you plan to authenticate with the repository? How to get the credential?

Depending on the answer, DFC or DFS are the natural APIs to programaticaly do anything with Documentum. The samples should do what you are loooking for.

Thank you for your answer.

1- it is java,

2- it is remote on the network, we have firewall. not a specific protocol

3- i know with its name

4-i can authenticate and am able to list the cabinets programmatically.

i will search the dfc/dfs samples related with this issue.thank you very much.
