Outbound interactions with Enterprise Content Management systems
You can implement queries and services that interact
with Enterprise Content Management servers.
Authentication scenarios IBM® Business
Process Manager provides three ways that you can grant access to an Enterprise Content
Management (ECM) server. You can set a user ID and password for the
process application that is recognized by the Enterprise Content Management
system. You can design a business process to use personal credentials
to control access to specific documents and folders on the ECM server.
Or, you can design a business process that uses each method of authentication
for different steps in the process.
How documents are stored and viewed
You can store or view documents from an Enterprise Content
Management (ECM) server by using functions that work with your search
results.
Working with a search result programmatically
Search results can be substantial. Instead of working with
a large search result in a user interface, you may want to parse the
search results programmatically.
Working with document content
To work with the content of documents, you can use the
ECMContentStream data type to wrap a content stream and return information
about the stream. A content stream is a stream of data that contains
the content of a document, such as a word processing document or an
image.
Data mapping in Enterprise Content Management operations
Each operation requires that variables be mapped to the
input and output fields. Using the auto-map function automatically
creates and assigns variables of the right type to each field.
