CMIS Document Link

Document Link Grooper.CMIS

Defines a reference to a document in a CMIS Repository.

Remarks

The CMIS Document Link class enables Batch Folder objects in Grooper to reference, access, and manage documents stored in external CMIS-compliant repositories. Rather than duplicating file data in the Grooper repository, a CMIS Document Link stores the necessary connection and identification information to locate and interact with a document in a remote CMIS repository.

This approach is essential for scenarios where Grooper must ingest, process, or export documents that reside in enterprise content management systems, such as SharePoint, Alfresco, or OpenText, without breaking the chain of custody or duplicating content. CMIS Document Link objects are typically created during import or export operations, especially when using sparse import modes or when tracking exported content.

How It Works

  • A CMIS Document Link stores the repository ID and object ID of the target document, along with a reference to the CMIS Repository configuration.
  • When content or properties are needed, Grooper uses the link to connect to the repository and retrieve the latest data.
  • The link supports commands for loading content, updating properties, saving new versions, deleting, and moving the document within the repository.
  • Property mapping and content transfer are managed using Grooper's import/export definitions, allowing for flexible integration with external systems.

Configuration and Usage Guidance

  • Configure the 'CMIS Repository' and 'CMIS Object Id' properties to match the target document in your repository.
  • Use the provided commands to load content, update properties, or synchronize changes between Grooper and the CMIS repository.
  • CMIS Document Link is essential for workflows that require round-trip integration, auditability, or on-demand access to external documents.
  • When importing in link-only mode, use the Load command to bring content and properties into Grooper as needed.
  • When exporting, the link can be updated to track the new location or version in the external system.
