Documentum to Portal Consistency Checker – Proof of Concept

TSG has several clients using Documentum as a repository and a custom front end application for consumption of the records or renditions of records.  In most cases there is a mechanism in place such as SCS (Site Caching Services) or TSG’s OpenMigrate PUMA (See CIS Case Study for more details).  While a typical Documentum application (ex: Webtop) provides a “one stop shop” for authors and approvers, the interface can be challenging when “consumers” are just looking for quick search and retrieval.  This solution provides improved performance, business continuity, and ability to add documents from other systems.  One potential risk to using a cache of documents and metadata for search and retrieval is the integrity of data.  Publishing techniques are designed to accurately cache records; however there are uncontrollable circumstances that may result in a mismatch.
