CMIS Setup in FileNet

To enable CMIS with FileNet there are few mandatory classes and properties that must be defined in the object stores.

To enable CMIS functionality, the FileNet Object store MUST have these base document classes:

It is recommended the following naming be used. This naming can be altered but must then be reflected in the mapping section contentServer.cmis.documentColumns section in the INI configuation file (see CMIS Setup in Docuflow documentation node)

cmis:objectId cmis:baseTypeId cmis:objectTypeId cmis:secondaryObjectTypeIds cmis:name cmis:description cmis:createdBy cmis:creationDate cmis:lastModifiedBy cmis:lastModificationDate cmis:changeToken cmis:isImmutable cmis:isLatestVersion cmis:isMajorVersion cmis:isPrivateWorkingCopy cmis:versionLabel cmis:versionSeriesId cmis:isVersionSeriesCheckedOut cmis:versionSeriesCheckedOutBy cmis:versionSeriesCheckedOutId cmis:checkinComment cmis:contentStreamLength cmis:contentStreamMimeType cmis:contentStreamFileName cmis:contentStreamId

cmis:objectId cmis:baseTypeId cmis:objectTypeId cmis:secondaryObjectTypeIds cmis:name cmis:description cmis:createdBy cmis:creationDate cmis:lastModifiedBy cmis:lastModificationDate cmis:changeToken cmis:parentId cmis:path cmis:allowedChildObjectTypeIds

To enable archivelink document management, the document classes sapbo:basedocument and sapbo:Archivelink are required

sapbo:basedocument:synchronized sapbo:basedocument:Document sapbo:basedocument:DocumentComponentID

sapbo:ArchiveLink:ArchiveLinkDocument

To enable DMS document management, the document classes sapbo:basedocument and sapbo:KnowledgeProvider are required

sapbo:basedocument:synchronized sapbo:basedocument:Document (Index field for better retrieval performance) sapbo:basedocument:DocumentComponentID

sapbo:KnowledgeProvider:LogicalDocument

FileNet does not allow the metadata property internal (symbolic) name to have special characters. So map all the properties to the custom ones as explained in CMIS Setup in Docuflow middleware.

We have ACCE JScript to create CMIS properties. Please reach out if you would like to use the script.

The hierarchy of the cmis properties is as follows:

Depending on Docuflow configuration setting : If xxx.contentServer.cmis.enableSAPFolderFormat is enabled

This requires to add a new class sapbo:baseFolder



sapbo:basefolder:multiBoReference sapbo:basefolder:synchronized

if xxx.contentServer.cmis.enableSAPFolderFormat is disabled

The service account/technical user used by docuflow to connect to FileNet P8 requires:

If for compliance or other reasons "Full Control" cannot be granted certain actions will fail. E.g. if no 'Delete' rights granted and SAP request a delete of a document the request would fail (error code 500)
