As evidenced during EMC World and at our clients, the decision to upgrade to Documentum 6.5 has proven itself more difficult than previous upgrade decisions. While the back-end migration can be fairly straightforward, most users are struggling with the cost, effort and risk of upgrading the front-end Webtop application. As one client put it: “I feel like I am paying 100K in development and testing to give the users essentially the same system” Other factors that tie into a difficult Webtop ... [Continue Reading]

Documentum Versioning – Differences Between 5.3 and D6.x
During a recent Active Wizard development effort, we noticed that major versioning a Documentum object was acting differently in D6.5 vs. 5.3. No errors were thrown in the 6.5 environment, but it didn’t appear that the CURRENT label was being moved properly to the new major version. It turns out that the DFC in 6.x changed the way version labels are interpreted in the IDfSysObject#checkin method when you want to check in a major version. Before D6, the wizard did something like this ... [Continue Reading]
Active Wizard 3.9 Preview – Form Email Module
As part of the upcoming 3.9 release of the Active Wizard, we've added a new email module to the product. The email module provides a new ‘email form’ answer action in the wizard admin. This allows administrators to configure an email address that the form should be sent out to. Here’s what the admin screen looks like: The address source lets the admin configure where to send the email – it can be admin defined (just type an address in the box), or the address can be supplied by the user ...

Pharma Documentum Upgrade Challenges and How to Avoid Them
A majority of our Documentum pharma clients have yet to upgrade from the 5.x platform up to 6. Pharma clients have been long-time users of Documentum and as a result have robust (often highly customized) Documentum installations, causing upgrade costs to soar. In addition, a significant upgrade often means a complete system revalidation which in and of itself is expensive. Many are excited about the new user experience features and technology enhancements that are available with 6 (right-click ... [Continue Reading]
Testing on Multiple IE Versions and Other Browsers
During application development, it is often times necessary to test the application on multiple browser platforms and versions. This can be relatively straight forward when testing different browser platforms, such as IE vs. Firefox vs. Chrome, since all of these browsers can be installed on the same operating system. But what about testing different versions of IE? Many of our clients have users that are on different versions – some may be on IE7, while others are still on IE6. With the ... [Continue Reading]

Annotation Services

We built the application using TSG's OpenContent web services that it can run on a number of different platforms including ... [Continue Reading]

Active Wizard / SharePoint Integration
Many of our clients use SharePoint to collaborate on documents. These users may also use a Documentum repository to route, approve, and store controlled documents. When thinking about this scenario, we considered how the Active Wizard could be used route SharePoint documents using the Active Form module of the wizard. Thanks in part to the existing Webtop Connector, we were able to come up with a working prototype in no time! First, we added a menu item when selecting a document to allow a ... [Continue Reading]
