Examining the Embedded Document Management System

Physical documents are always vaulted within Documentum. When a document becomes associated with a PeopleSoft page, only a minimal amount of information regarding that document is stored within PeopleSoft, such as document object ID, name, and title. PeopleSoft from Documentum, as required, retrieves all other information pertaining to the document, such as the author, checkout status, and version. In short, Documentum owns the documents, and the PeopleSoft system manages associations or references to them.
