Discovering and selecting objects

After connecting to the CMIS server, you can browse the tree of discovered objects to select a Folder and select an object, such as Workflow Definition, CodeModule, and Email.

You can use the filtering mechanism to limit the number of objects to be displayed.

You must have successfully connected to the CMIS server.

You must have a clear understanding of the object for which you want to specify the configuration properties.

This task starts in the Find Objects in the Enterprise System window of the external service wizard.

Procedure

1. Select the required objects, Folder and Document Types, from the Discovered objects listing and click the > (Add) button to add that item to the Selected objects listing.

2. In the Metadata Configuration screen for the chosen native object, you must specify a unique value for the Subscription Name field.

   The subscription name must be unique across all the applications that are configured for a repository.

3. Click Add and select the required Event types to form a subscription.

   Subscriptions are created during run time. If the adapter detects the existence of a subscription with the same name, provided during the Enterprise Metadata Discovery in the target CMIS server, it adds the missing events to that subscription and reuses it.

4. Select the list of properties for the folder or document type. The optional properties are added along with the required properties.

   Required properties cannot be cleared.

5. Select the properties you want to be a part of the generated business object.

6. Click Select All to assign the list of configuration properties.

7. Click Deselect All to cancel your choice, and reassign the list of configuration properties.

Results

The wizard displays the selected object that you want to use with the Adapter for Enterprise Content Management.

What to do next

Continue working in the external service wizard. The next step is to select the objects you want to use in your module, configure each business object, and create a hierarchy for that business object.
