History | Edit

Available in the Enterprise edition only.

To configure a Documentum (CMS) data source you need the Documentum Foundation Services Software Development Kit (DFS SDK) corresponding to your server version. The DFS SDK can be found in the Documentum (CMS) server installation kit or it can be downloaded from EMC Community Network.
Note: The DFS SDK can be found in the form of an archive named for Documentum (CMS) 6.5 (for example, emc-dfs-sdk-6.5.zip).

To configure a data source for Documentum (CMS), follow these steps:

  1. Open the Preferences dialog box (Options > Preferences) and go to Data Sources.
  2. In the Data Sources panel click the New button.
  3. Enter a unique name for the data source.
  4. Select Documentum (CMS) from the driver type combo box.
  5. Press the Choose DFS SDK Folder button.
  6. Select the folder where you have unpacked the DFS SDK archive file.

    If you have indicated the correct folder the following Java libraries (jar files) will be added to the list (some variation of the library names is possible in future versions of the DFS SDK):

    • lib/java/emc-bpm-services-remote.jar
    • lib/java/emc-ci-services-remote.jar
    • lib/java/emc-collaboration-services-remote.jar
    • lib/java/emc-dfs-rt-remote.jar
    • lib/java/emc-dfs-services-remote.jar
    • lib/java/emc-dfs-tools.jar
    • lib/java/emc-search-services-remote.jar
    • lib/java/ucf/client/ucf-installer.jar
    • lib/java/commons/*.jar (multiple jar files)
    • lib/java/jaxws/*.jar (multiple jar files)
    • lib/java/utils/*.jar (multiple jar files)
    Note: If for some reason the jar files are not found, you can add them manually by using the Add Files and Add Recursively buttons and navigating to the lib/java folder from the DFS SDK.
  7. Click the OK button to finish the data source configuration.
  8. Continue on to configure your Documentum connection.
