5 Overview Chapter 1 Introduction Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) is an OASIS specification that defines a domain model and bindings that enable interoperability among enterprise content management (ECM) systems and applications. EMC Documentum CMIS is an implementation of CMIS 1.0 that works with the EMC Documentum repository. The need for CMIS arose from a recognition that many enterprises have production Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems from multiple vendors, and that the complexity of making these systems interoperable is a burden on IT departments and an impediment to developing enterprise-wide applications. The principal goal of CMIS is to reduce this burden by providing a standard domain model for ECM systems and expose this model through industry-standard web service (SOAP) and RESTful AtomPub bindings. CMIS enables enterprises to develop applications that are interoperable with various ECM systems and to access the content in those system in a uniform manner. CMIS also provides a way for independent software vendors to develop applications that can be marketed for use with any CMIS-enabled ECM system. Because the CMIS domain model is generic to ECM systems provided by different vendors, it is not a goal of CMIS to provide access to all the features of any one ECM system. Therefore the CMIS API is not appropriate for all types of ECM applications. For detailed information on CMIS, refer to the CMIS 1.0 specification. The EMC Documentum CMIS 6.7 SP1 Release Notes contains customer-reported bug fixes and platform compatibility updates. This document also includes a list of fixed problems, known problems and limitations.

11 Fixed Problems Chapter 4 This section lists the known problems fixed in Documentum CMIS 6.7 and 6.7 SP1. Fixed problems in CMIS 6.7 SP1 This section identifies problems that have been resolved, which were previously documented in the release notes as a known problem or limitation. The following table lists the defect numbers and a description of the problems fixed in CMIS 6.7 SP1: Defect # CMIS-1399 Description of fixed problems In the Atompub binding, you cannot specify the delete request s allversions parameter. Now, the allversions parameter can be specified as follows: TRUE (Default) All versions of the document object are deleted. FALSE CMIS-1388 Only the specified document with the specified version is deleted. This parameter is ignored when the object is a non-document object or non-versionable document object. For non-base types such as dm_cabinet objects, the display names for attributes are not displayed. The attribute display names should be the same as for dm_document objects. Fixed problems in CMIS 6.7 This section identifies problems that have been resolved, which were previously documented in the release notes as a known problem or limitation.

17 Chapter 7 Installation The instructions for installing and upgrading the product are provided in the EMC Documentum Content Management Interoperability Services 6.7 Deployment Guide. This section lists the upgrade paths for Documentum CMIS 6.7 SP1 and describes the steps necessary to perform a rolling upgrade from Documentum CMIS 6.7 and maintain continuous availability during the Documentum CMIS 6.7 SP1 upgrade. Ensure that your system meets the requirements listed in the Documentum 6.7 SP1 System and Environment Requirements Guide before installing or upgrading the software. The Documentum 6.7 SP1 Environment and System Requirements Guide and product documentation are available on the Powerlink website ( Upgrade paths for CMIS 6.7 SP1 CMIS 6.7 SP1 can be upgraded from the following versions: CMIS 6.7 Performing a rolling upgrade to CMIS 6.7 SP1 from CMIS 6.7 SP1 The rolling upgrade requires that components be installed in a specific sequence. Because CMIS is included with Content Server, you do not need to follow these upgrade instructions if you have already upgraded your Content Server. To upgrade to CMIS 6.7 SP1: 1. Re-archive the CMIS 6.7 SP1 web application archive with your existing CMIS 6.7 dfc.properties and cmis-runtime.properties files. 2. Undeploy your existing CMIS 6.7 web application. 3. Deploy your re-archived CMIS 6.7 SP1 web application archive. EMC Documentum Content Management Interoperability Services Version 6.7 SP1 Release Notes 17
