TREX, Portal and third party DMS

[former_member184588]

Hello,

I would like to have the possiblity to search for documents in the portal. The problem with it is that the documents are in a third party DMS called D3. The points I get stuck in the middle of nowhere are:

- How is it possible to connect the portal documents with the DMS (as content server). What do I have to configure?

- How to configure (if possible) TREX that he is indexing the documents in the DMS (there is not only the way from the portal to the DMS but also to put the documents in the DMS's normal way into the DMS.

- Where to start, what to read and how to make light in the black darkness?

I think at this point anything that helps me to understand the mechanismen behind TREX, portal content and content server will help me.

Thx in advance,

Vanessa

Hi Vanessa,

for the Portal to connect to D3, you'd have to develop a so-called "Repository Manager" for D3.

This is Java development against the "Repository Framework" (RF) API. You will find hints how to do this in the developer guide for enterprise knowledge management.

If you manage to achieve this, the connection for indexing and searching to TREX is taken care of for you by the RF.

Best,

Karsten

Has really nobody an idea about this or is the question not detailed enough?
