    Hello,

    coming from FileNet P8 world and new in Datacap domain (not in capture), I'm a litte bit surprised that the P8 connector in Datacap integrates only store and index API. So we cannot, using the connector, leverage Datacap functionnalities taking advantage of the IBM world ?

    I fetched a roadmap describing the potential API integration but without success.

    Do you have an idea about this integration ?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    (I've already replied yesterday but writing once more as I cannot see my earlier reply to you here.)

     

    May I kindly ask you to describe what feature(s) you are missing in the current FilenetP8 connector. So I can communicate your identified gap(s) back to our lab development.

     

    The current build in FilenetP8 connector provides a number of capabilities for Upload, Search, Update, Redact and for setting properties and upload/update specifics for a document like: Upload, UploadDir(ectory), UpdateContent, UpdateProperties, CreateFolder, SetProperty, SetDestinationFolder, SetDocClassId, SetFileMimeType, SetMultiValueProperty etc.
     

    In addition to the FilenetP8 connector a CMIS export or WebServices action library can be leveraged as well for this task.

    Hi Stephan,

    as I read the documentation about the FileNet P8 Connector, in the "Data export" chapter, the description says upload and index:


    Because of your previous answer, I parse the detail of the documentation (Connector actions), which is more complete.

    Remark: the new documentation site is not practical, slow and the only search function includes whole IBM documentation.

    Thanks

    Thank you for your feedback. I'll report your performance critics to our documentation team.

    Here is the direct link to the relevant Datacap 9.1.8 FilenetP8 connector action library details for a quicker access: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/datacap/9.1.8?topic=actions-filenet-p8 .

    And sorry for the performance issues you have observed on our new doc site !
