Reply To: Setting up content management

[Derek Read]

There is documentation for the “XMetaL Connector”.

As of yet, I don't believe we've given this to anyone except partners (mostly CMS vendors that have created “connectors” for XMetaL Author). I would suggest anyone interested in this contact the XMetaL sales team (the person you normally deal with for purchases). They can put you in touch with the manager that deals directly with partners.

For clients interested in a particular CMS connector, contacting sales is also the best route. There may already be something out there that supports your particular CMS (in case you don't already know for sure or for some reason cannot obtain that information from the vendor themselves), or a partner that could be contracted to do the work for CMS vendors that do not wish to do so.

The team we have here that maintains the “XMetaL Author Enterprise for Documentum Webtop” connector is pretty busy, particularly with each new release of Documentum's server. So, from what I see, creating and maintaining a connector is not a simple undertaking.
