OpenInterchange, now a module of OpenMigrate, is a highly-configurable lightweight solution to import documents into Documentum and Alfresco through any e-mail inbox. High-level OpenInterchange features include:
- Monitoring multiple e-mail inboxes
- Importing of e-mails as they are received by the inbox
- Creates individual objects in Documentum for the e-mail message body as well as and any attachments
- Ability to initiate a workflow for imported objects so that relevant tasks for these documents will be started without manual intervention
How It Works
OpenInterchange was designed to use leading edge technology according to the latest standards and best practices in industry.
- J2SE Standard – OpenInterchange is a Java stand-alone application, which allows for portability and the capability to run in any environment. Moreover, this allows OpenInterchange to be run as a scheduled task that can be run at any interval based on the user’s needs. OpenInterchange utilizes the JavaMail library to communicate with any type of e-mail inbox, whether it be POP3 or IMAP.
- OpenContent SOAP Web Services – All communication with Documentum is done through OpenContent. This isolates OpenInterchange from Documentum which eases maintenance.
- XML Driven – OpenInterchange is fully configured through XML. The XML configuration specifies the details on the e-mail inboxes to monitor, the Documentum repository to import to, and the workflows to kick off.
- Extensive E-mail Reporting – OpenInterchange was built with extensive e-mail reporting of its processing in mind. As e-mails are processed, the sender and recipients of the original e-mail are notified of newly created objects. Furthermore, OpenInterchange allows for an admin e-mail address to be notified of relevant processing actions.
