Enterprise Document Capture

Solutions: Documentum Caching

Caching content from Docuemntum onto a shared file system can be used in many ways including:
  • Allowing users to access files more quickly at a remote site that has a slow network connection.
  • Allowing applications (such as publishing) to access large numbers of files quickly and without using a Documentum API.
  • Export content to an external web site.
  • Archiving content to another site for backup, for writing to permanent media, or for retiring a system.
 
The following configuration is a common way to cache Documentum content with CWS:

  1. Content Workspace is configured to run periodically.  It logs into Documentum, queries for new content, then copies the content and attributes to a shared file system.
  2. Attributes can be used to specify where files are saved.  They can be exported to databases or excel spreadsheets.
  3. Content can be specified to be all renditions, just PDF, or just the original rendition.
Other key features of the Documentum Caching Solution:
  • Scheduling can be configured to transfer content during off-peak hours
  • Content is set to read-only to prevent users from updating cached content
  • Documentum WebTop can be customized to look locally first for content, then remotely
  • CWS has a sample web site that can be used as a starting point.  It allows navigation and searching.
