CMIS Binding

A CMIS Binding provides connectivity to an external storage platform over CMIS.

Remarks

CmisBinding is the abstract base class for all CMIS+ bindings in Grooper, providing the foundation for connecting to a wide variety of external content platforms.

---

Overview

• Abstracts the connectivity and operations required to interact with external repositories using the CMIS (Content Management Interoperability Services) standard.
• Enables Grooper to connect to traditional CMIS servers, file systems, SFTP servers, mail servers, and various on-premises or cloud-based content storage platforms.
• Each derived binding (e.g., FTP, SFTP, OneDrive, SharePoint) implements protocol-specific logic for authentication, repository discovery, object management, and content transfer.

---

Usage Notes

• CmisBinding is not used directly; instead, select a specific binding type (such as SFTP, FTP, or OneDrive) when configuring a CMIS Connection in Grooper.
• After selecting a binding type, configure the connection settings appropriate for the target platform.
• Each binding exposes one or more logical repositories, which can be imported and used for document import/export, browsing, and automation.

Example

1. In Grooper, add a new CMIS Connection.
2. Select a binding type (e.g., SFTP, FTP, SharePoint).
3. Configure the connection settings for the selected binding.
4. Import repositories and use them for content integration.
