This question should better have been created in the "Alfresco ECM" space. You may want to move it (if you can - I don't actually know if you do or if an admin needs to do this).

You haven't included which Alfresco version you are using. Please be aware that since Alfresco 5.0.b the Alfresco Web Service / CML API has been removed. There are no more web services in Alfresco apart from the CMIS web service bindings provded by the OpenCMIS server libraries. The documentation I could find for CMDBuild indicates that it wants to use the Legacy CMIS web services API for Alfresco 3.4. This no longer exists. If the CMIS client library in CMDBuild has been developed correctly, it should be able to use the OpenCMIS CMIS web services API. Try changing the configuration property server.url in the dms.properties of OpenMaint / CMDBuild to the http://hostort/alfresco/cmisws/cmis URL.

I do not expect the "File server path" to have anything to do with the CMIS / web service connection. Personally, I would also assume the "Host" in the "General" section should only be the server name - not the full URL. I don't see any configuration property that I would use to configure the web service URL. Since the software was built for Alfresco 3.4 where there was basically only one URL for CMIS web services, it makes sense that the UI does not provide an option for it. Unfortunately that would mean you can't use OpenMaint with Alfresco 5.x

So I need a downgrade to version 3.4.

or can two version of alfresco be installed at the same time (tomcat 7)

Downgrading is not really something that Alfresco supports. Two versions can be installed at the same time - they only need to use different databases. I personally would file an issue with OpenMaint that they should really, really look into updating support for Alfresco. 3.4 has been superseded for about 4 years now and CMIS has changed a lot since then (it was only a preview functionality of a yet-to-be-approved standard at that time).

Thanks for answers. I will trying to install a different version of Alfresco, still keeping 5.1.e version because we have some documents in that and using it.

I will put an issue to openmaint of that problem.

Thanks again for helping me to right track

Hello Krister,

Did you find a way to connect openmaint to alfresco to openmaint.

I'm also struggling.

Can you help me.
