https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/general/11969/migrating-documents-to-external-cmis-systemHi All, Our system is basically to send the files which are uploaded in the Appian screen by the end user has to be moved to a CMIS system for example documentum. Now my question is... Is there a way without saving the file in Appian document repositoryen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.appian.com/thread/52992?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 28 Feb 2018 21:06:04 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:e4cde09a-be0b-462e-b0a4-94b6bd292740aloks0189Yes, you must store the document in Appian knowledge center before uploading to any external system, and can delete the document once after receiving the success status.<br /> <br /> Now when we talk about uploading the document to external systems, there are some constraints which we need to take under consideration:<br /> <br /> There some external systems, which will not allow you to transfer bulk of files at anytime to their system, in order to maintain the performance of their System, and will provide some fixed hours, and we need to upload these bulk of documents during those hours only, hence transferring these documents immediately to an external system will not be the best choice always, and hence we have to upload these documents in appian knowledge center (which is nothing but mandatory as well) and then upload them to external system.<br /> <br /> Hope this will help<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/52985?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 28 Feb 2018 15:31:24 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:c6e8c4d7-09a4-44ff-a7f4-f1d8db525664Jim SchweitzerYou could add a step to the process model to delete the document after the push to the remote system.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/52984?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 28 Feb 2018 15:31:24 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:457b2989-c3e8-4f96-b097-910509dcfe1aJim SchweitzerYou could add a step to the process model to delete the document after the push to the remote system.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/52981?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 28 Feb 2018 12:43:43 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:35896a6d-f593-4ddd-b73e-b0f0a4ddac41harshavalright so we cannot use the Appian layer as a surfacing layer which will put my document directly in the destination location.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/52965?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:37:18 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:354c81d5-a410-4b0e-9fdd-4c0f9877299eJustin WattsNo, the document must first go into the Appian document repository.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
