Agenda

• Overview of .Net• Overview of Documentum .Net• Documentum ASP.Net Case Study• Demonstration of Expanded .Net Sample• Technical Review of Expanded .Net

Sample• Q/A


What is .Net?

• Latest technology set from Microsoft• Object Oriented (even VB.Net!)• Common Language Runtime (CLR)• Common Language Specification (CLS)


CLR

• Common Language Runtime• Provides core services

– Memory management (Garbage Collection)– Thread management– Remoting– Manage Code Execution

• “Like” Java Runtime Environment (JRE)• Code is NOT interpreted by CLR, but

managed


CLS

• Common Language Specification• Common language features• Compliance vs. non-compliance• .Net Framework library is mostly

compliant


Benefits of .Net

• Rich UI Toolkit, even for the web (ASP.Net)

• Language independence (VB.Net, C#, J#, C++, COBOL, and others)

• Standard based (XML, SOAP, HTTP)• Interoperability with COM• .Net Framework Library

– Rich set of classes


ASP.Net• Programming model for web solutions• Support for all .Net languages (VB.Net, C#,

etc)• Separation of Presentation from Business

Logic• Provided UI components for fast web

development– DataGrid– DataList– Charts– …More


Windows Forms

• Unified programming model for Windows applications

• Web Service Integration• Power of C++, ease of VB• Robust database integration (ADO.Net)


Documentum .Net Benefits

• Rapid Application Development (RAD)• Leverage existing Microsoft investment• Simplified deployment• Interoperability with Microsoft Products


Documentum .Net Troubleshooting

• Folder Security• DFC Cache File Locations


DFC Primary Interop Assembly

• .Net wrapper for DFC• Support for Visual

Studio .Net• Maintains single

implementation source of DFC


ASP.Net Implementation

• Client– Insurance Organization– Office locations in nearly 100 countries– Research ways to reduce risk



• Challenge– Underwriting standards constantly

changing– Common text– Approval Process– Microsoft implementation required



• Solution– ASP.Net Underwriting solution– Content as XML fragments


Demo

• Demonstration of the extended Documentum ASP.Net Sample


Technical Review

• Cancel Checkout• Delete• New Folder• View Properties• Search• Windows Query Tool


Cancel Checkout

• Cancels the checkout of a document• Control:

– CancelCheckoutControl


Cancel Checkout Sequence Diagram


Delete

• Deletes selected, unused, or all versions of a document

• Uses IDfDeleteOperation• Control:

– DeleteObjectControl• Support class:

– OperationHelper


Delete Sequence DiagramDeleteObjectControl

DeleteButton_Click(sender, e)

processDelete()

clientX deleteOperation

deleteOperation:=getDeleteOperation()

OperationHelper

setVersionDeletionPolicy(policy)

add(objToDelete)

executeOperation(deleteOperation, this)

refreshTree()

toggleControlVisibility(false)


New Folder

• Creates a new dm_folder• Control:

– NewFolderControl• No support classes


New Folder Sequence DiagramNewFolderControl

CreateFolderButton_Click(sender, e)

processCreateFolder()

newFolder:=newObject(getFolderType())

dmSession newFolder

setObjectName(folderName)

link(parentFolderId.getId())

save()

refreshTree()

toggleControlVisibility(false)


View Properties

• Control to view document properties• Uses data dictionary

– dm_scope_config– dm_display_config– dmi_dd_attr_info

• Uses DataSet and DataGrid


View Properties (cont.)

• Control:– PropertiesControl

• Support classes:– DDDisplayConfig– DocbaseDisplayConfig– DDAttribute– QueryHelper


View Properties Sequence Diagram

PropertiesControl

Page_Load(sender, e)

initProperties()

showProperties()

displayConfig

displayConfig:=getDisplayConfig(sysObj.getTypeName(), dmSession)

dataSet:=createDataSetForAttributes(displayConfig.Attributes, "primaryattrs")


Search

• Simple search facility• Uses a DataSet

– Query run using DQL– Results parsed into a DataSet

• DataSet is bound to a DataGrid


Search (cont.)

• Two main controls:– SearchControl– ResultsView

• Support classes:– QueryHelper– DMAttributeInfo– DMAttributeInfoList


Search Sequence Diagram


Results Sequence DiagramResultsView

Page_Load(sender, e)

populateResults()

QueryHelper

attrsToDisplay:=getAttributesToDisplay()

dataSet:=executeQueryForDataSet(dqlQuery, dmSession, attrsToDisplay)

Session

dqlQuery:=get("query")

Remove("query")


Query Tool

• Built using Windows Forms• Uses Documentum ADO.Net• Uses DataGrid to display results• Integrates PIA with Documentum

ADO.Net


Query Tool (cont)

• Forms:– LoginForm– QueryToolForm

• Support classes from ASP.Net sample:– DmContext– LoginHelper

• Custom support class:– DQLQueryManager


ADO.Net Connection String

• All of the following fields are required– Repository=<docbase>– User Name=<os name>– Password=<password or ticket>– Domain=<domain>
