Document Management Via Documentum

Hi All,

We have a scenario like we need to upload all the documents which are uploaded on the Appian screen into Documentum

I have couple of questions like,

1.How are we going to upload the documents to documentum.and what can be the maximum document size limit to push it into documentum.

2.do we need to have any integration layer between Appian and Documentum or can we connect directly the documentum and send the data.

TIA

    Harsha,

    You will need to configure an integration between Appian and Documentum to transfer the files. There are several ways this can be done based on your version of Documentum and what integration options are configured in your environment (e.g. Java APIs, Web Services, etc). You don't have to put middleware in place for the integration, but that architecture would work as well.

    I would suggest having a conversation with your Documentum administrator to help determine what configurations are available to you and if there are any size limited on the Documentum side. Once you have that, determining the Appian configuration options will be much more focused.
  • Thank you so much Eric for making me understand very clear about the documentum way of transferring files. however I have some couple of questions which I think it would be definitely known to you :)

    1.is there any size limit from Appian end to send the documents.... like if say the document is of size greater than X mb it will fail....
    2.according to you which is the best way to send the documents to documentum.
    3.Understanding that there is minimal need of the middleware in between, will there be any performance issue while fetching the data back .....
    4.we are thinking of the following options...
    a. SFTP smart services
    b. advanced call web services.
    c. consuming APIs from Documentum End and use integration Smart service.

    Could you please tell me if there are any options other than this.

    I would really appreciate the help you made and please provide me these inputs too...

    TIA :)
  • Hi,

    I agree with ericg,for uploading the documents you have to integrate using smart services,etc. As per my knowledge there is no other option to upload the documents into Appian Document system

  • I am not talking about Appian document system I am trying to integrate with Documentum system.
