Chapter 1

Overview

This export connector copies document images, OCR text files, Kofax PDF documents,

eDocuments, and writes data from Kofax Capture or Kofax Express into IBM FileNet Content

Manager.

Features

This section contains information about features provided with Kofax Export Connector for

IBM FileNet Content Manager.

Kofax Values / IBM FileNet Content Manager Properties

You can link Kofax Values to IBM FileNet Content Manager document properties and folder

properties. Examples of Kofax Values include Document index fields, Folder index fields,

Batch fields, Kofax Values, and Text Constants. If you are using Kofax Capture, the names

of “required” IBM FileNet Content Manager properties within a document class or folder

class are marked with an asterisk (*), giving you a visual indicator that certain fields must be

linked.

Kofax Values {Document GUID}

The {Document GUID} is a value that can be used for index fields and export values. It

is a type of document ID that is unique across the central site and all remote sites that

comprise a Kofax Capture installation. This Document GUID is the concatenation of the Batch

GUID and the document ID number. For example, a Batch GUID of {D3C58EE2-5627-443b-

BBFA-EE7A5790482A} and a document ID of 123 will yield {D3C58EE2-5627-443b-BBFA-

EE7A5790482A} 123 as the Document GUID.

Document Storage

You can specify new or existing folders for storing documents in the IBM FileNet Content

Manager object store for export. You can use Kofax Values to specify a document name or

folder name.

Folder Creation

When exporting to user-defined folders, the export connector searches the IBM FileNet

Content Manager object store to locate a folder based on the Folder Name property and the

location of the object store.

If the folder is found, this folder is used for export. The existing properties of the folder do not

change, even if Kofax Values are linked to the properties for the folder.

If the folder is not found, a new folder is created in IBM FileNet Content Manager using the

values specified at export setup.
