The ECMContentEvent business object
The ECMContentEvent business object is included in the Content Management toolkit, which is used to gain access to Enterprise Content Management (ECM) types and services. The resources of the toolkit are required to allow a business process developed in Process Designer to work with an Enterprise Content Management system. The ECMContentEvent business object is used to pass generic ECM event data to an event subscription service and Content UCA. The business object is passed unchanged as BPMN event data into the process if it is not modified, mapped, or replaced by the service or UCA.
When an event subscription is triggered, an ECMContentEvent business object is passed to the service that is attached to the event subscription. In addition to the data included in the ECMContentEvent business object, you can use a content integration step in the service to retrieve more information about the object in the ECM server, such as additional properties for the specified document or folder.
The properties for the ECMContentEvent business object are described in the following list:
- String serverName: The name of the ECM server.
- ECMID repositoryId: The object ID of the repository.
- ECMEventClass eventClass: The class of the event, which is either "document" or "folder".
- ECMID objectTypeId: The object ID of the folder type or the document type.
- ECMEventType eventType: The type of event that occurred on the folder or document.
- ECMID objectId: The object ID of the folder or document on which the event occurred.
