Prerequisites

eDOCS DM 16 with a MS SQL backend is set as the default eDOCS DM connector version. If your eDOCS DM installation is version 10 or 5 or Oracle a few steps are required before setting up a connection:

  1. Stop the ViaWorks Edocs DM Fetch Service on all servers.
  2. For all Locator servers, open File Explorer and go to the eDOCS DM Fetch folder: <<Program Files>>\VirtualWorks\ViaWorks\edocsdm
  3. The connector uses the files 'ConnectorDefinition.xml' and 'IdentificationDefinition.xml'. Select the file matching version and database backend and rename to 'ConnectorDefinition.xml' and 'IdentificationDefinition.xml.
    1. The 'ConnectorDefinition.xml' options are:
      1. ConnectorDefinition.xml - Default with support for eDOCS DM 16.x+ with MSSQL database backend.
      2. ConnectorDefinition_edocsdm5 - eDOCS DM 5.x+ with MSSQL database backend.
      3. ConnectorDefinition_edocsdm10 - eDOCS DM 10.x+ with MSSQL database backend.
      4. ConnectorDefinition_oracle.xml - eDOCS DM 16.x+ with Oracle database backend.
      5. ConnectorDefinition_oracle_edocsdm5.xml - eDOCS DM 5.x+ with Oracle database backend.
      6. ConnectorDefinition_oracle_edocsdm10.xml - eDOCS DM 10.x+ with Oracle database backend.
    2. The 'IdentificationDefinition.xml' options are:
      1. IdentificationDefinition.xml - Default with support for all versions with MSSQL database backend.
      2. ConnectorDefinition_oracle.xml - All versions with Oracle database backend.
  4. Repeat step 2. and 3. for all Locator servers with the connector installed.
  5. Start the ViaWorks Edocs DM Fetch Service on all the servers.
