Hello,
I'm having some trouble figuring out a Stellent IBPM 7.6 installation at one of our customers' sites.
I must admit that I am completely new to IBPM, but since our customer was unable to find anyone who still supported this software,
they have asked me to find out whether it is possible to make a small change.
They are using it to archive tiff files + metadata (in text files) exported by Kofax.
I was unable to find any documentation on version 7.6, but I was able to find an administrator's guide of Oracle Imaging and Process Management 7.7, which I have been using so far.
So here's the thing;
I've largely been able to figure out how the whole Filer Server works, how it's configured, how applications are defined in the Application Definition editor,
how meta data and image files get stored based on the defined indexes/fields and storage classes,
how galleries are made, how users are linked to them and how searches can be built using the Search Builder.
So far so good. I understand how the current setup is functioning.
But what I haven't been able to find in the documentation that I posses,
is how the system deals with any changes made to this setup.
More specifically: changes made to the definition of indexes and fields.
The main questions I have at this moment are:
- How does the database, specified under "output" in the application definition editor, get constructed?
Does this have to be done manually? And do you just have to name tables and columns exactly as you specify them in the Application Definition?
Or will a new table automatically be created when I define a new application?
I assume it will, because I noticed that the names of the tables in the database are <Application Name>+<Index Name>.
But I haven't been able to find any piece of information on this, and I don't want to base any actions on assumptions.
- Is it possible to add a field to an application that has already been online and filed?
And also in this case; what happens to the output database? Do columns get added automatically or is this a manual step?
I hope that despite the age of this software, someone will still be able to answer these question or point me to some documentation that I have missed.
Kind regards,
Wouter
