Access to Alfresco Repository

soriaedu79 — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 16:35:53 GMT

Hello,I want to know what is the relationship between RM and Alfresco Repository. In particular,1) In RM, can I import files directly from the Alfresco Repository?2) If I import files in RM from the harddisk, can I see those files somewhere in the Alfresco Repository?Thank you in advance.

Hi,

The Alfresco Records Management AMP is an extension to the standard Alfresco repository. It is simply a Site that has a folder structure with security and retention schedules applied to it.

A record can be created within the site from another, non-RM area within the repository or from a file held on your hard drive. The location of the files in the repository is up to you.

I would suggest downloading the community version of Alfresco and trying the RM module out to get a feel for how it works with the rest of the repository.

Cheers,
Roy

Thank you, Roy.

I have Alfresco 3.3 with RM already installed.

When I create a record in the RM from the hard drive I can see that in Alfresco Repository Browser in Alfresco->Sites->rm folder

But for example, if I want to create a record in RM from the Alfresco->User Homes -> User1, how could I do that directly?

In other words, can I import in RM the files I have stored in Alfresco in other places that Alfresco->Sites->rm without using the hard drive???

Hi,

You just "move" or "copy" the document into a records folder. (within the RM site structure)

Whenever a document is created or added to a record folder behaviour to create a record from that document is automatically run.

Thank you Roy.

It works with files but it doesn't with folders.

If I try to copy a structure(spaces+content) under Sites-> rm -> MySerie -> MyCategory -> MyFolder I get the following exception

Caused by: org.alfresco.scripts.ScriptException: 10010141 Failed to execute script 'classpath*:alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/slingshot/documentlibrary/dod5015-doclist.get.js': 10010140 Node is not a records management node type.
Is there a way to reproduce a folder structure under Sites-> rm -> MySerieX -> MyCategory -> MyFolder ???

Hi,

Ahhh ok! … no .. we don't support the movement of folders into RM in that way at the moment.

Perhaps an improvement we could make in the future.

Cheers,
Roy
