Metastorm 9.2 - Integration with Opentext Content Server

Barrie Smith · November 9, 2012

I want to browse Content Server and select a document to be used as an attachment to my form.

In Designer, I've added a connection to Content Server ( which tests OK) , and a Business Object for the connection.

I've added a multiclip to my form, and set the appropriate properties ( DMS, Business Object name etc )

The Solution deploys and activates.

When I try to use the form, the multiclip is inactive and does nothing when I click on it.

I have another multiclip on the form,which browses to my file system OK.

Any suggestions please?

Hello Barrie,

You'll need to also uncomment the following section of your ~\BPM\Web\web.config:

<!-- <dms provider="Metastorm.Dms.ContentServer, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0fa3cc64eebf4c8b" type="Metastorm.Dms.ContentServer.CSDmsProvider">







</dms

Be sure to update the URLs to point to your Content Server.

Thanks for your reply ..... here's the relevant uncommented section form my my web.xml

      http://otserver.comanaco.local:8080/les-services/services" />

      http://otserver.comanaco.local/OTCS/livelink.exe" />
      http://otserver.comanaco.local:8080" />

What should be the vaue of the CWS Suffix?

In my environment (which is working...), the CWSSuffix value is left empty.

In the form designer (and on the relevant process action), have you set the CS-enabled attachment clip field properties to be something other than read-only (optional or required for example)? The behavior you describe sounds as if the field is defined as read-only.

Thanks Ari - setting CS-enabled attachment clip field properties to be required worked for me.

Another question now that I have the multi clip working - the two buttons at the top of my multi-clip are "ADD" and "SELECT"

"ADD" seems to only allow browsing the local file system for files to attach

"SELECT" allows browsing CS starting the defined Default Location ( which I set at "EnterpriseWS" - and that took me ages to realise the format for the default location !)

Are the buttons acting as designed i.e. ADD for file system, SELECT for DMS?

Thanks again

Barrie Smith · November 13, 2012

Forget that last question

Just realised that "ADD" uploads the document to CS ...

Hi Ari - and how does CS work with a single clip which ony has READ ONLY and HIDDEN for the DEfault Action Behaviour?

Hi Smith,

I am trying to connect the MBPM to the opentext content server (DMS) using "connection".

I have setup the "non-synchronised" user partition "otds.admin" in the Administration Client of the OTDS.

However, while test connection, I am getting OTDS error.

My question is, is it manditory to have "synchronised" user partition with "SSO" enabled in OTDS?

Please assist.

Thanks and regards,

Mukesh

no, it is not required to have a synchronized user partition in OTDS, in order for your connection to work in the Designer. for a production environment though, that is the supported configuration. but that isn't your issue right now...can you share a screenshot of your CS Connection settings? also the error message.

thanks,

Ari

Hi Ari,

Thanks for your assistance. I have resolved this issue now.

Earlier I used the Content Server resource id in connection parameter, that is why I was unable to connect.

Today I tried RCS resourceID and It works. Now I got to know that the issue was with resource id.

Thanks and regards,

Mukesh

Glad you got it working. I have made that same mistake before as well.
