IBM BPM supports ECM integration with Microsoft SharePoint 2010.
When you define the ECM server properties for a Microsoft SharePoint server, the default CMIS web service context path is "/_vti_bin/cmis/soap". Information about specifying the context path is found in the topic "Accessing the SharePoint CMIS provider from IBM BPM." You can contact your Microsoft SharePoint administrator for complete connection information.
Other integration considerations for Microsoft SharePoint are described in the following sections:
- Setup
- CMIS capabilities
- Deviations from the CMIS standard
- Reference
Setup
Your Microsoft SharePoint installation may use a URL convention for the CMIS web service endpoint that is not expected by IBM BPM. See the topic "Accessing the SharePoint CMIS provider from IBM BPM" for information on how to establish the addressability of the CMIS web service for IBM BPM.

Deviations from the CMIS standard
Microsoft SharePoint deviates from the OASIS CMIS standard in the following ways:
- When a document is being created, the content of the document must be provided.
- The IN and LIKE operators are not supported for WHERE clauses in queries.
