IBM Connections


I would like to ask some of you smart guys :) if it is possible to have directory structure in IBM Connections files. There is also library but i can't map it via webdav/smdb maybe it is about my information gap, but what I can is install desktop plugin ( only MS win) and then map my structure. But only files, no communities. And within files there cant be create directory in directory structure ( may i be wrong but i tried much and nothing changed my mind ). So if someone has ever experienced this before.

Can you guys help me?


Solution

  • While not as obvious as a File Repository like you experience in Windows Explorer. IBM Connections does enable you to use files / folders

    You can find more information about the folders API at http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/appdevwiki.nsf/xpDocViewer.xsp?lookupName=IBM+Connections+4.5+API+Documentation#action=openDocument&res_title=Working_with_folders_ic45&content=pdcontent

    However, since you mentioned webdav, you may want to look at using CMIS and Apache Chemistry to access the CMIS APIs. That should give you the most flexibility in mapping your WebDav to Connections

    An example of what you can do with CMIS is http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/lcwiki.nsf/dx/Demo_Using_CMIS_Connectors_with_Lotus_Connections_Files
