Adding a Documentum eRoom data source

You add a Documentum eRoom data source to CAS Console by specifying connection information, seeds, filters that include or exclude files, and advanced settings.

To add a Documentum eRoom data source:

  1. On the Data Sources page, click Add Data Source....
  2. Select Documentum eRoom from the list and click Add. The Data Source tab displays.
  3. In Name, specify a unique name for the data source to distinguish it from other data sources in the CAS Console. You can create a data source name with alphanumeric characters, underscores, dashes, and periods. All other characters are invalid for a name.
  4. In User Name, specify a valid user account for the data source and then specify values for Password and Confirm Password.
  5. In eRoom Server, specify the DNS name of the eRoom server.
  6. In Facility Name, specify the name of the eRoom facility. In an eRoom page url, the facility name is the first item following eRoom.
  7. Click Show optional configuration.
  8. Optionally, in Protocol, select either HTTP or HTTPS protocol.
  9. Optionally, in Port Number, specify the network port to use. The default is 80 if you are using HTTP or 443 if you are using HTTPS.
  10. Optionally, in Web Context, specify the Web context of the eRoom Web services. The default is /eRoomXML/.
  11. Optionally, in Enable Cache, select true to enable caching for users and groups or false to disable caching. This is a per connector instance cache without any expiration time. The default value is true.
  12. Optionally, in Check SSL Certificate, specify whether all SSL certificates are accepted, including self-signed certificates. Select true to accept only trusted SSL certificates, or select false to accept all SSL certificates including self-signed certificates. The default value is false.
  13. Optionally, specify one or more seeds by clicking Add under Seeds. Specify everything in the path to the folder following My eRooms (as it appears at the top of your browser window when using eRoom), substituting each arrow (>) in the path with a forward slash (/). Seed names are case sensitive.
  14. Click Save or select the Filters or Advanced Settings tab to continue configuring the data source.

The data source displays Acquisition Steps where you can add manipulators, revise the data source configuration if necessary, or start acquiring data from the data source.

At this point, you can add manipulators, acquire data from the data source, and monitor its status.
