Before attaching documents to a Heritage Coach, you need
to establish the type of documents that you want to display and upload
using the Document Attachment control.
Before you begin
The Document Attachment control works with IBM® Business Process Manager documents
or documents stored in an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) repository. IBM BPM documents
are any documents that your users can access by browsing their file
system or via a URL. To use the Document Attachment control to access
documents from an ECM repository, you can configure the control to
work with IBM Content Integrator
Enterprise Edition, enabling users to access documents from FileNet® P8 Content Manager and IBM Content Manager.
Before
you can access documents from an ECM repository using the Document
Attachment control, IBM Content
Integrator SOA web services must be deployed on an application server.
The IBM Content Integrator Information
Center provides information about the WAR file that you can use for
deployment and instructions for configuring the WAR file. See in the IBM Content
Integrator Information Center.
Procedure
The following steps describe how to establish which type
of documents you want to display and upload using the Document Attachment
control:
- Open the service that contains the Heritage Coach that
you want to work with, and then click the Coaches tab.
- Drag a Document Attachment control from the palette onto
the design area.
- While the Document Attachment control is selected, click
the Document Attachment option in the properties if not already selected.
- In the Behavior section, select a Connection
Type from the drop-down list:
- IBM BPM documents
- IBM Content Integrator
- If you selected IBM Content Integrator for
the Connection Type, complete the following
steps:
- Click the Connection option in the properties.
- Provide the following information:
Table 1. Input required for connection properties| Property |

Select the environment variable
that contains the name of the IBM Content
Integrator connector that you want to use to access the ECM repository.
The name of this environment variable is the name of the target IBM Content Integrator server configuration
