Product Overview Documentum ECM platform The Documentum ECM platform provides a unified environment for capturing, storing, accessing, organizing, controlling, retrieving, delivering, and archiving any type of unstructured information across an extended enterprise. With support for Web 2.0 information requirements and high-volume transaction and archive environments, the Documentum content management platform can support global enterprise deployments. Based on an extensible, open, scalable, secure, and service-oriented architecture, Documentum comprises a set of integrated products and services that work together to provide comprehensive content-enabled solutions. Service-oriented architecture Service-oriented architecture (SOA) looks at IT assets as service components, establishing a software architectural approach to building business applications. The SOA approach is based on creating standalone, task-specific reusable software components that function and are made available as services. Content management and repository services The Documentum Content Server and Repository manage information and content with enterprise-grade security, scalability, and reliability, and a common set of policies for all content assets across an organization. Additionally, the Documentum Repository manages the application definition artifacts, configurations, and supporting models. Business process management Documentum xCP provides business process management capabilities and integrates fully with the ECM platform. Using a model-driven approach, combined with services orchestration capabilities, Documentum xCP provides the ability to configure applications without coding requirements. xCP also provides a complete range of tools for process and task modeling, data and content modeling, presentation modeling, and business-logic modeling. Changes to business solutions can be made declaratively in the appropriate model, without writing or modifying software code, providing a flexible and agile framework for building as well as maintaining and improving business solutions over time. The service-oriented architecture also allows for easy integration with existing line of business systems, applications, and external systems to gain additional value and leverage from those investments. As a composition platform, xCP provides reusable components, model-based configuration, a configurable user interface and dashboard tools, and reference applications to enable developers and IT architects to compose and maintain applications using graphical tools. Documentum xCP includes the following capabilities and products: 14 EMC Documentum xCelerated Composition Platform Version 1.6 Best Practices Guide
Product Overview Application presentation and composition Business process design and workflow configuration Application GUI design Reports Team collaboration Documentum TaskSpace provides a highly configurable user interface that unites process, content, and monitoring into a single user experience for transactional business applications. TaskSpace is deployed as a web application into a Java Application server. Process Builder is a business process design tool that allows non-programmers to configure how services, manual activities, and information are combined and orchestrated to accomplish specific business actions and logic. Process Builder allows the designer to configure process activities such as simple manual tasks, high-volume work queues, automated content management actions, and sophisticated system integration logic through easy-to-use visual design techniques. In addition, Process Builder supports the defining of process rules, priorities, and exception handling. Deployment of standard activity templates enables enterprises to maximize both productivity and standardization through reuse across multiple applications. The process models defined by Process Builder are deployed into Documentum repositories through the Documentum Content Server. The runtime execution of the process models is carried out by the Process Engine. Forms Builder is used to create web-based graphical user interfaces available through TaskSpace. Forms Builder also serves as the design tool for producing high-fidelity, paper-like electronic forms for data capture and presentation. Forms Builder produces XForms models that are stored in the Documentum Repository. At runtime, web-based user interfaces are generated by an embedded forms engine that interprets the XForms models and produces HTML. The forms engine deploys as part of TaskSpace in the same web application. Documentum Business Activity Monitor (BAM) and Process Reporting Services (PRS) provide detailed reporting and monitoring of solutions. BAM deploys in two parts, as a server-side engine (BAM Server) and as a TaskSpace component. The BAM Server continuously formats and aggregates events and data as the application runs. This engine deploys into any Java application server. The BAM TaskSpace component deploys as part of TaskSpace and generates the graphical dashboards that contain the reports around the data and events managed by the BAM Server. BAM typically uses a separate database from the Documentum Repository for managing its reporting data, although in some cases, it can share the same database instance using different tablespaces. The BAM data definitions (including both structured data types and content metadata) are synchronized by Process Builder through the BAM Server. PRS is a reports builder tool that enables users to configure graphical reports against the data in the BAM database. The reports are presented in the TaskSpace dashboards. Documentum Collaborative Services (DCS) provide team collaboration around artifacts and information. DCS is a set of services and objects supporting team collaboration exposed in the TaskSpace application environment. The primary capability includes ad-hoc discussion threads available on any item in TaskSpace. EMC Documentum xCelerated Composition Platform Version 1.6 Best Practices Guide 15
