M3 CloudSuite - Integration To Alternative Document Processing Platforms - Enhancement Request
Hi All,
Recently I had the challenge to integrate with an alternative document processing platform than IDM. A customer wanted to retain their current document processing platform and only use IDM for the storage of documents (for incontext etc), but not use it for the PDF generation.
Has anyone else faced this challenge before? If so, how did you accomplish it?
I managed it but it was quite long winded. It's complex but a brief summary is:
- MNS216

- Event subscription to CCTLSF.
- MEC map to look up to CCTLSX to get file name.
- ION Dataflow to get file from M3 (foundation-rest-file-management/v1/file
- Post API to alternative document processor.
I investigated if MNS216 communication type 5 was a starter, however it's limited in that you can't define the port (443 always take precedence).
