Field

Description

Required

Display as

Enter the display name for the connection. If you will be creating multiple connections, ensure the name readily identifies the connection. The name displays in the application, and you can use it to search for the connection and filter lists.

If you do not add a display name, the connection will automatically be named using the CMIS URL. For example, Documentum (http://XX.XX.XX.XXX:XXXX/emc-cmis/resources). If it will be useful for you to reference the connection by the URL, you should use the default name. 

Optional

CMIS URL

Enter the URL for the Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) server.

Required

User name

Enter the username that should be used to log on to the server. This needs to be an account with permissions to access the content that will be processed.

Optional

Agent URL

Enter the URL for the computer where the Documentum agent is installed. The Documentum agent provides access to additional functionality. This is an optional entry, but SkySync uses the entry to determine if additional features should be turned on for the connection. If this field is populated, SkySync turns on the additional features; if it is blank, SkySync assumes the agent is not being used and doesn’t turn on the additional features. See Documentum Agent under Features and Limitations for more information about the features enabled through the Documentum agent.

Features and Limitations

Platforms all have unique features and limitations. SkySync’s transfer engine manages these differences between platforms and allows you to configure actions based on Job Policies and Behaviors. The information below is platform specific. Use the Platform Comparison tool to see how your integration platforms may interact regarding features and limitations. Additional information about Documentum can be found in on the EMC Documentum Help.

...

  • Audit Trail Support: This feature allows for the preservation of CreatedBy and ModifiedBy.

  • Author/Owner Preservation: If Documentum is the destination connection, this feature allows the reading and writing of the author for the file. Without the agent, the author can be read but now not applied.

  • Querying Accounts: This feature provides the ability to search for user accounts. This is used behind the scenes for Audit Trail Support and in the SkySync user interface for account mapping.

  • Querying Groups: allows the ability to search for groups. This is used behind the scenes for Audit Trail Support and in the SkySync user interface for group mapping.

  • Permissions: This features allows for getting and modifying the permissions of an item.
