Document versions in external repositories

[Former Member]

If I’m using an external document repository liked with the portal (DMS, File System, etc), can I still use document versioning control? Where are the versions stored (in KM or in the external system)?

Hi Guest,

I am quite sure that if you use an external document repository you can only use the features provided by the external repository. If the external repository provides document versioning and the repository manager used to integrate the repository in the KM repository framework does implement the functionality then you may be able to use document versioning.Otherwise, not.

Hope I could help!

Best regards,

Hi,

When you create an external (CM Repository), you have to define the "Root Directory" (Physical location of your files) and a 'Root Directory for versions".

This is where KM will stores the documents versions.

Please note that the "'Root Directory for versions" may not be a sub-directory of "Root Directory".

Then you have to activate the versionning on the rootfolder.

Hope this answers your question
