  27. What We Know • We know that lifecycles allow us to define different lifecycle states for our documents. • We know that the EntryRequirements, StateAction and PostProc procedures allow us to spell out what happens at each of those lifecycle states. • We know how to create a queue in our Docbase in which to place action requests. • We know how to place a job request in that queue. • We know how to build an external server that can: Communicate with the Docbase. Check a queue for job requests. Copy files out of Documentum on to a local hard drive. Place files back in the Docbase

  36. Creating The Queue • # • execquery,c,T,CREATE dm_user OBJECTS • SET user_name = 'xy_publish_win2000', • SET user_os_name = 'xy_publish_win2000', • SET home_docbase= 'XYDOCBASE', • SET user_address = 'xy_publish_win2000', • SET client_capability = 8,(8 = System Administrator) • SET user_privileges = 8,(8 = Sysadmin) • SET description = 'XY Publishing Account' • close,c,q0 • #

  37. Creating The User Account • execquery,c,T,CREATE dm_user OBJECTS • SET user_name = 'xy_communicate', • SET user_os_name ='dmacct123', • SET user_address = ‘dmacct123’, • SET home_docbase='MyDocbase', • SET default_folder = 'xy_communicate', • SET user_group_name = 'xy_creators', • SET client_capability = 4, • SET description = 'Our Publishing Account' • close,c,q0

  38. Our Agenda Gathering The Pieces Putting The Pieces Together (REVIEW STATE) Creating the User Accounts and Queue Creating the Lifecycle Procedures Creating the Lifecycle Building The External Server

  39. Creating The Procedures # First we create the entryrequirements procedure object create,c,dm_procedure set,c,l,object_name entryrequirements # And place it in the System/Procedures folder link,c,l,/System/Procedures # Next, we insert the code for the procedure from a text file setfile,c,l,entryrequirements.txt,text # And now we save it to the docbase save,c,l # Now we create our stateaction procedure object create,c,dm_procedure set,c,l,object_name stateaction # And place it in the System/Procedures folder link,c,l,/System/Procedures # Next, we insert the code for the procedure from a text file setfile,c,l,stateaction.txt,text # And now we save it to the docbase save,c,l # And finally we create our postprocessing procedure object create,c,dm_procedure set,c,l,object_name postproc # And place it in the System/Procedures folder link,c,l,/System/Procedures # Next, we insert the code for the procedure from a text file setfile,c,l,postproc.txt,text # And now we save it to the docbase save,c,l

  40. Creating The Lifecycle Procedures • 'EntryCriteria Function • ' • Const REMOVE_ALL_VALUES As Integer = -1 • Const ADD_TO_END As Integer = -2 • ' • Public Function EntryCriteria _ • (ByVal SessionId As String, _ • ByVal ObjectId As String, _ • ByVal UserName As String, _ • ByVal TargetState As String, _ • ByRef ErrorStack As String) As Boolean • EntryCriteria = False • sttus$ = dmAPISet("set," & SessionId & "," & ObjectId & ",title", "DRAFT") • mssg$ = dmAPIGet("getmessage," & SessionId & ",3") • If (mssg <> "") Then • ErrorStack = mssg • Else • EntryCriteria = True • End If • End Function

  41. Putting The PDF Request In Queue • 'Send a queue item to request that a • 'composite PDF be created • ErrorStack = "Send request for PDF Rendition" • rcs$ = dmAPIGet("queue," & SessionID & "," & • ObjectID & ",xy_publish_win2000, • CompositePDF,1,nulldate,null")
