Product Overview Process automation, services orchestration, human task management Data and content integration The Documentum Process Engine carries out the automation of all business processes defined by Process Builder in the applications. Process Engine deploys into the embedded JBoss application server that is provided as part of the Documentum Server. Certain aspects of the Process Engine also execute in the Documentum Content Server, specifically process runtime state management, which uses the Documentum Repository for state persistence. Process Integrator manages both inbound and outbound integration of data and content for the applications and provides mapping and transformation capabilities for both data and content integration. The integration configuration, including connector end-point definition and correlation mapping, is carried out with Process Builder. Process Integrator deploys its outbound integration services, data/content mapping, and correlation capabilities in the embedded JBoss application server. Inbound protocol connectors can be deployed into any Java application server, including the embedded JBoss application server. The following products are optionally available and provide additional integrated capabilities to Documentum xCP: Compliance Information capture and input Dynamic correspondence generation Retention Policy Services and Records Manager automate the entire content lifecycle to mitigate risk of non-compliance and leverage full audit control for retention policy management and records management. Captiva InputAccel provides intelligent capture for paper, fax, and electronic data sources Document Sciences xPression automatically generates and distributes customer communications via customer-preferred formats and channels (e-mail, web, print, and mobile). 16 EMC Documentum xCelerated Composition Platform Version 1.6 Best Practices Guide

Chapter 3 Planning and Designing the Application This chapter discusses the following: • Planning and designing the application overview • Project preparation • Business requirements phase • Roles and permissions • Setting up the Development Environment • System Design and Prototyping Phase • Planning the Deployment • Design Review Planning and designing the application overview Case management projects, like other xCP applications, are created in a series of phases. The following diagram illustrates a typical phase structure: Thorough planning and testing is important for process-based applications and can make a difference in whether a project succeeds or fails. What makes this possible is the extensive use of templates for creating processes, forms, reports, and user interfaces. Anticipating risks, aligning on requirements, and designing the solution carefully are critical to success. Another best practice recommendation is to use an agile methodology. Break up the full application into smaller modules and establish frequent cycles of design, implementation, and testing, as illustrated in the above diagram. This approach is considered a more successful alternative to the classic waterfall approach. EMC Documentum xCelerated Composition Platform Version 1.6 Best Practices Guide 17
