Documentum Renewal: Architecting Content Applications
Of all my posts in this series, this is the one that is probably the least needed. I say this because it looks like EMC is some of this now. It does need to be said though, just so EMC know that we still care, and in case I am guessing wrong. The themes for… Continue reading

Documentum Renewal: Focus on the Core
I just started writing a series on what EMC should do with their Documentum product as part of my Christmas gift to EMC. That part is key…this is a gift from the community because we want Documentum to be better and to stick around. Why do I say the community? Simple enough…because I hear these… Continue reading

Tip: Identifying Documentum Object Types
Last month, I ran into an error. You know the type, vague, irritating, and an r_object_id that I didn’t recognize. (Okay, I never “recognize” an id given the complexity, but usually I can figure things out from the first two digits.) The error basically said that the r_object_id “53…” did not exist. Anyway, a quick… Continue reading

Content-Enabled Applications in the Age of CMIS
Craig Randall recently posted how he was presenting on Building Content-Enabled Applications at EMC World, at least until he was downed by injury. Regardless of his injury, this is a topic of great interest to me and I had a few conversations over the past year with him on the topic. I wanted to chime… Continue reading

Answering James on CMIS
Back in December, James asked a few good questions regarding CMIS. I thought I would take a minute to answer them as best I could, with apologies for the delay. Any insight into making my answers more complete are welcome. I am only on the outside looking into the process. Continue reading

Tips: Watch the DFC Registry Mode
I know that I owe a post on SharePoint and EMC World. I just keep getting sidetracked with these simple, easy, yet relevant topics. As much as I may wish it, project work continues even as we are prepping for the future of the Documentum world. In addition, it has been a while since I… Continue reading

EMC World 2008: Documentum 6.5 Architecture Overview
Time for an update on the architecture. Victor Spivak is presenting. He knows his stuff, so hopefully it’ll be a good one. I know waaay too many people in this room. I’ll never get to say hello to all of them. This is by far the most crowded session. Continue reading

Tips: Dynamically Creating Users in the DFC
Earlier today, James McGovern asked how to create a user through code in Documentum using either the DFC or DFS. I responded to him directly as I didn’t want him to have to wait for me to write a blog post to get the answer. However, I decided to share my answer with everyone while… Continue reading

ECM Standards, SAML, and the DFC
Time for some more dialog with James McGovern. I love this kind of discussion because it raises awareness of the issues in the community. James replied to my last post on Standardizing Authentication. There is a problem with written communication sometimes. No matter how clearly you think you write or explain something, someone will always… Continue reading

Standardizing Authentication
Been a busy week on the ECM standards front. There has been a lot of discussions going around. I’ve been silent on the topic as I’ve been focusing on learning more about SAML and XACML so that I can respond to James’ question. Plus, the dialogs are going great and I haven’t needed to keep… Continue reading
