Personalizing federated documents
Portal Personalization provides the federated documents feature to retrieve metadata about documents stored in external content management systems or document repositories. Examples of these systems include IBM Content Manager, IBM FileNet Content Manager, and Microsoft Sharepoint. We can use a personalization component in IBM Web Content Manager to display metadata from federated documents and to create links to download or open the documents.
The federated documents feature can acquire metadata from remote systems that support the following methods:
- Document Services remote interfaces, as supported by IBM Content Manager and FileNet Content Manager
- Content Management Interoperability Services 1.0 (CMIS 1.0), as supported by IBM Connections, IBM Content Manager, IBM FileNet Content Manager, Microsoft Sharepoint, and others.
- Atom feeds
- Create a federated documents selection rule
Create a selection rule that selects metadata of documents that are contained in a specific folder of a remote content management system or document repository.
- How to use a federated documents rule in a personalization component
To access the information from a federated documents rule in the web content system, create a personalization component, associate it with the rule, and specify the design for displaying document information that is retrieved by the rule.
