Configuring Your Document Management System

The Documentum server (document database) must first be installed and accessible from the PeopleSoft NT server (UNIX is not supported). When accessing Documentum functions through a PeopleSoft Documentum-enabled internet page, the application server accessed using the PeopleSoft page must contain the appropriate Documentum runtime libraries and access to the Documentum server.

Important! The Documentum integration between PeopleSoft and Documentum may require customization as it is no longer a supported integration.

Note: If you have any questions regarding the compatibility of your Documentum system with PeopleSoft Engineering, please contact your account manager.

Prior to using PeopleSoft Engineering with Documentum:

  1. Verify that Documentum is installed and that specific Documentum library files (DLLs) are installed on the application servers.

  2. Define Documentum options by using the Set Up Financials/Supply Chain > Common Definitions navigation.

Before you use PeopleSoft Documentum integration for the first time, make sure that:

  • The Documentum Enterprise Document Management System (EDMS) is installed and accessible by way of Documentum client applications (namely, RightSite).

  • These DLL files exist in your PSTools/Bin/Server/Winx86 directory on your application server(s), which need to support Documentum.

    • DMCL40.DLL (Documentum API Library)

    • DMCLVB40.DLL (Documentum Visual Basic API)

  • The Documentum initialization file (DMCL.INI) is present in the WINNT directory (Windows NT environment) on your application servers, which need to support Documentum.

    Note: The Documentation files (DMCL40.DLL, DMCLVB40.DLL, and DMCL.INI) are delivered with the Documentum application. You can access and copy these files to the appropriate directories after installing Documentum client products such as WorkSpace and SmartSpace.

  • You have defined the URL paths for launching Documentum and viewing documents.

    Select PeopleTools > Utilities > URLs to update these URL identifiers:

    • DOCUMENTUM_LAUNCH: This one should be the http:// address used to launch Documentum's web interface.

      Example: http://machinename/rs-bin/RightSite.dll/SSI4 (SSI4 is the executable name for SmartSpace).

    • DOCUMENTUM_VIEW: This one should be the partial http:// address used to view documents.

      It's similar to the launch path, but without the SSI4 executable at the end. Example: http://machinename/rs-bin/RightSite.dll.
