Kofax Export Connector 7.6.0 for Documentum Content Server Release Notes

Viewing Documentum Documents Exported as Single Page TIFF Images

A document viewer is required to view documents that have been exported as single page

TIFF images. However, with some document viewers, only the first page of the multipage

TIFF image can be viewed. You can open and view the document in Windows 2000 plus, or

Visual Basic Demo. Alternatively, you can convert the document to a different format in order

to view the contents of the file. (SPR00023762)

Versioning Documents with Duplicate Names

If versioning is enabled and you attempt to export a document with the same name as one

that already exists in the Documentum repository, the document being exported may not be

versioned.

This is because Documentum allows duplicate document names within a folder, which may

cause problems when searching for documents with identical names. (SPR00009808)

For example, assume that the Documentum repository contains two documents named

Doc01. When exporting documents, the export connector searches the repository until it finds

the first occurrence of a document with the name Doc01. Then, the export connector uses the

document ID to search within the virtual document for an occurrence of the document. If the

document ID exists in the virtual document, the export connector will version the document.

However, if the document ID does not exist in the virtual document, the connector assumes

that the document being exported is a new document and creates a duplicate document

within the virtual document.

Workaround: To ensure uniqueness within a virtual document, define search fields that

determine if an exported document is a duplicate, or needs to be versioned. To define search

fields, click Search Fields on the Document Settings tab to select Documentum properties to

use as search fields. All Documentum properties associated with the selected object type will

be available.

For more information, click Help on the Document Settings tab.

Search Fields Fail With Repeating Attributes

When repeating attributes containing multiple values are used for search fields, documents

are not versioned properly at export time. Instead, duplicate documents are created without

generating an error. (SPR00009793)

Workaround: With search fields, use single values for repeating attributes.

Exporting to a Workflow Requires Input Port 0

Exported documents can be sent to a Documentum workflow, as long as the initial step of

the workflow accepts documents on input port 0. If this is not the case, the following error

occurs, export fails, and the batch is sent to the Kofax Capture Quality Control module.

(SPR00026786)

The package <package name> is not in the specified input port, Input: <port

number>.; ERRORCODE: 100; NEXT: null] Please update your workflow so the

initial step is set to input port 0, remove the released documents from 4i,

and run the batch again.
