xPression Publish Document

Use the xPression Publish activity template to generate a new document from a Document Sciences xPression document template using data from the process and then map it to a package or an attachment. The variables are replaced with process data when the document is published.

xPression Publish Document – Advanced

Use the xPression Publish Document – Advanced activity template when there are many constant values that must be mapped to process data. Instead of using the data mapper to map each variable, you can type the XML that creates the mappings for constants and adds placeholders for dynamic data. Then use the data mapper to map only the placeholder values that are created by the XML.

Question:

A health organization uses EMC Document Sciences xPression to automate business communications across the enterprise. The process needs to pass a large amnount of stati text and serveral dynamic values to the publishing function to be inserted into the document.
Which Process Builder activity template should be used to meet these requirements?

  • xPression Publish Document – Mapping
  • xPression Publish Document – Outbound
  • xPression Publish Document – Advanced
  • xPression Publish Document

Answer: xPression Publish Document – Advanced
xPression Publish Document – Mapping and xPression Publish Document – Outbound does not exists as process activity.

xPression Publish Document has no XML functionality. xPression Publish Document – Advanced is correct, because you can use the Customer Data XML property to submit several dynamic values.

Understanding Data dictionary

What the data dictionary is

The data dictionary is a collection of information about object types and their properties.
The information is stored in internal data types and made visible to users and applications through the process of publishing the data.

EMC Documentum Content Server Version 6.5 Fundamentals

The data dictionary is the mechanism you can use to localize Content Server. The data dictionary supports multiple locales. A data dictionary locale represents a specific geographic region or linguistic group.

Publishing the data dictionary

Data dictionary information is stored in repository objects that are not visible or available to users or applications. To make the data dictionary information available, it must be published. Publishing the data dictionary copies the information in the internal objects
into three kinds of visible objects:

  • dmi_dd_attr_info
    Contains the published data dictionary information for a property.
  • dmi_dd_common_info
    Contains the published data dictionary information that an object type and property have in common.
  • dmi_dd_type_info
    Contains the published data dictionary information for an object type.

For example, if a site has two locales, German and English installed, there will be two dd_type_info objects for each object type—one for the German locale and one for the English locale. Similarly, there will be two dd_attr_info objects for each property—one for the German locale and one for the English locale. However, there will be only one dd_common_info object for each object type and property because that object stores the information that is common across all locales.

Retrieving data dictionary information

You can retrieve data dictionary information using DQL queries or a DFC method. Using DQL lets you obtain multiple data dictionary values in one query. However, the queries are run against the current dmi_dd_type_info, dmi_dd_attr_info, and dmi_dd_common_info objects. Consequently, a DQL query may not return the most current data dictionary information if there are unpublished changes in the information.
Neither DQL or DFC queries return data dictionary information about new object types or added properties until that information is published, through an explicit publishDataDictionary method (in the IDfSession interface) or through the scheduled execution of the Data Dictionary Publisher job.

Compliance Services for Documentum

Comliance Services provide capabilities for retaining and managing content.

These services are:

  • Retention Policy Services
    Determines the length of time a object (document or folder) is retained. For the duration of its applied retention policy the managed object can’t be modified or deleted, although a new version of the object may be created.
  • Federated Records Services
    Managed the content and objects of external repositories with one master repository and created proxy objects for any external objects without importing all content and property information.
  • Records Manager
    The Records Manager inludes discrete modules. The customer can add additional modules that meets their unique requirements.
  • Trusted Content Services
    Enhanced security options on the Content Server like Digital Shredding and Encrypted file store storage areas.

Documentum Records Manager

Documentum Records Manager

Records Manager

RM extends the core Documentum content management capabilities by adding features and functionality.
RM is split into discrete modules. Customers can shoose RM modules that meets their unique requirements.

  • Retention Policy Management: Using RPS as the underlying engine, RM enables users to create, manage, and use retention policies.
  • Security and Access Control: Enhances the security model by providing non-cumulative permissions and the ability to associate permissions with object types. Enhances access control by requiring membership of one or all of a set of designated groups.
  • File Plans: This is an automated control mechanism for permanent system-wide record classification. It specifies how to name, classify, organize, and retain/dispose records.
  • Containment Policies: Specify rules for using a folder hierarchy or a file plan in terms of how it can grow and what actions are permitted within portions of the hierarchy.
  • Naming Policies: Configure naming conventions and enforce them through validation and dynamic name generation.
  • Retention policies: Determines the length of time a document based on operational, legal, regulatory, fiscal or internal requirements.
