IBM Content Manager OnDemand Web Enablement Kit functions
ODWEK provides an interface to implement functions to do tasks like change a user’s password, retrieve a document, or delete an annotation. You can implement these functions and many others using the ODWEK Java API.
The following functions are a sample of the Content Manager OnDemand functions supported by ODWEK.
- Add Annotation
- The Add Annotation function enables users to add an annotation to the specified document. To add an annotation, the user must be given the Add permission under Annotation in the Content Manager OnDemand application group. (A user is automatically given the Add permission when they are given permission to access an application group.)
- Change Password
- The Change Password function allows users to change their Content Manager OnDemand passwords.
- Delete Annotations
- The Delete Annotations function enables users to delete the annotations attached to a specified document.
- Logoff
- The Logoff function allows users to log off of a Content Manager OnDemand server.
- Logon
- The Logon function allows the users to log on to a Content Manager OnDemand server.
- Retrieve
- The Retrieve function retrieves a document from Content Manager OnDemand. The data returned from the server includes the document, and depending on the data type, the resources required to view the document. The returned data must not be modified in any way. The browser, along with the viewer, interprets and decodes the data stream and displays the document. If the document is stored in Content Manager OnDemand as a large object, then only the first segment of the document is returned. Subsequent segments of the document are retrieved and displayed as needed.
- Search
- The Search function returns a collection of items that match the search criteria. Each item that matches the search is returned as an ODHit object that can be used to call the Retrieve function.
- Search Criteria
- The user can accept the default search criteria or enter search criteria to search for specific documents.
- Server Print Document
- The Server Print Document function sends copies of documents to a Content Manager OnDemand server printer. To use server print, the user must be given the Print permission under Document in the Content Manager OnDemand application group. (A user is automatically given the Print permission when they are given permission to access an application group.) At least one server printer must be defined on the Content Manager OnDemand server.
- Update Document
- The Update Document function allows users to update the database. The Update Document function updates one or more database fields for a specific document. To update a document, the user must be given the Update permission under Document in the Content Manager OnDemand application group.
- View Annotations
- The View Annotations function enables users to view the annotations attached to the specified document. To view annotations, the user must be given the View permission under Annotation in the Content Manager OnDemand each application group. (A user is automatically given the View permission when they are given permission to access an application group.)
