Connecting to Content Server and Sharepoint on same form

Barrie Smith · December 5, 2012

I have two multi-clip attachment tools on my form. I wish one to access Content Server and one to access Sharepoint.

I have edited the web.xml file and uncommented both Sharepoint and Content Server sections.

When I start my web browser and try to access tmy metastorm web site, I get the following error

Server Error in '/Metastorm' Application. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Configuration Error Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Sections must only appear once per config file. See the help topic for exceptions.

Source Error:

Line 102: Line 103: Line 104: Line 105: Line 106: http://otserver.comanaco.local:8080/les-services/services" />

Source File: C:\Program Files (x86)\Metastorm\BPM\Web\web.config Line: 104

From this I assume that I can only access ONE DMS per metastorm application?

Is this true?

Hi Barrie,

Unfortunately you are right, this is a limitation. You can only access one DMS per MBPM application.

We do have plans to allow for multiple DMS providers, but we haven't scheduled a date for this work yet.

Not sure if this will even apply.

But you can try to use SharePoint webservices to manage your SharePoint documents. One off our projects required us to be able to control view rights and versioning, we were able to do this through SharePoint webservices.

We had to create custom control using form segments (basically a multi-clip like control) and bind the control on form load.

I can "try" to post more detail if this will help.
