Extensions for IBM CMIS for FileNet Content Manager

The OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) specification enables developers to extend the RESTful AtomPub bindings and Web Services bindings that are provided by the specification. IBM Content Management Interoperability Services for FileNet Content Manager (IBM ECM CMIS) includes several extensions that enable client applications to retrieve additional information from an IBM FileNet Content Manager system.

The IBM ECM CMIS extensions are extensions to the XML output from the server and are present on each response from the Content Engine server. The extensions are optional and do not interfere with client applications that are not designed to use the extensions.

Important: If you design your client application to use the IBM ECM CMIS extensions, it is recommended that you design the application to use the values that are provided by the extensions only if values are available.

In addition, if you design your client application to use the IBM ECM CMIS extensions, you should keep the following restrictions in mind:

The extensions are for an IBM FileNet Content Manager repository only.
If your client application is designed to require values for these extensions, your client application will not work with another CMIS-enabled repository.
