Ephesoft metadata export

[juniorbl]

Hello,

I'm trying to integrate Alfresco and Ephesoft and it's working, I'm able to export a document to Alfresco but the metadata from Ephesoft doesn't appear on the document inside Alfresco. I'm following this example http://tpeelen.wordpress.com/2010/12/23/configuring-ephesoft-and-alfresco-for-cmis-integration but I'm missing something. These are my configurations files:

ephesoftModel.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!– Custom Model –>
<!– Note: This model is pre-configured to load at startup of the Repository. So, all custom –>
<!–       types and aspects added here will automatically be registered –>

<model name="ephesoft:demomodel" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">

<imports>
   <!– Import Alfresco Dictionary Definitions –>
   <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0" prefix="d"/>
   <!– Import Alfresco Content Domain Model Definitions –>
   <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0" prefix="cm"/>
</imports>

<!– Introduction of new namespaces defined by this model –>
<!– NOTE: The following namespace custom.model should be changed to reflect your own namespace –>
<namespaces>
   <namespace uri="http://com.ephesoft.demo/model/content/1.0" prefix="ephesoft"/></namespaces>
   <constraints />
   <types>
      <type name="ephesoft:document">
         <title>ephesoft_scan</title>
         <parent>cm:content</parent>
         <properties>
            <property name="ephesoft:invoiceTotal">
               <title>Invoice Total</title>
               <type>d:int</type>
            </property>
         </properties>
      </type>
   </types>
</model>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And custom-model-context.xml:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>

<!– Registration of new models –>
<beans>
   <bean id="extension.dictionaryBootstrap" parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">
      <property name="models">
         <list>
            <value>alfresco/extension/ephesoftModel.xml</value>
         </list>
      </property>
   </bean>
</beans>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Like I said, I can see the document but I cannot see the "invoiceTotal" metadata, is something wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Hello there,
Did you do your CMIS mapping  in the DLF-Attribute-mapping.properties file?  The file should be located in the batch class configuration in the cmis-plugin-mapping folder (e.g. C:\Ephesoft\SharedFolders\BCB\cmis-plugin-mapping).  Here you will map the Ephesoft content model to the Alfresco content model.  I am not sure what your Ephesoft document types are but will give an example per your Alfresco content model.

Invoice=D:ephesoft:document
Invoice.InvoiceTotal=ephesoft:invoiceTotal
‍‍‍‍

The first mapping (with the prefix on the right hand of "D") is the document type mapping where "Invoice" is the Ephesoft document type and "ephesoft:document" is your Alfresco document type.  The second mapping is the attribute mapping of "InvoiceTotal" field in Ephesoft to the "ephesoft:invoiceTotal" property in Alfresco.


Let me know if that works for you.

Hi,

Yes, I did the mapping just like that blog post. I tried to original way and then I changed the "D:ephesoft:document" to "cmis:document" but still nothing. Here's my mapping file:

Application-Checklist=D:ephesoft:document
Application-Checklist.InvoiceTotal=ephesoft:invoiceTotal
Application-Checklist.State=ephesoft:state
Application-Checklist.City=ephesoft:city
Workers-Comp-02=D:ephesoft:document
Workers-Comp-02.InvoiceTotal=ephesoft:invoiceTotal
Workers-Comp-02.State=ephesoft:state
Workers-Comp-02.City=ephesoft:city
US-invoice-Data=D:ephesoft:document
US-invoice-Data.InvoiceTotal=ephesoft:invoiceTotal
US-invoice-Data.State=ephesoft:state
US-invoice-Data.City=ephesoft:city
Invoice=D:ephesoft:document
Invoice.InvoiceTotal=ephesoft:invoiceTotal‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I removed the "partNumber" and "invoiceDate" to keep it simple and tried new types like you said. Do you see something wrong?

Thank you.

Hi,

I am having the exactly same issue. Have you solved this?

After switching to another Alfresco version everything works fine for me. It was probably related to this issue.

Hello,

My problem was a lower case "i", in the mapping file was "US-invoice-Data" and in "Document Types" was "US-Invoice-Data", is just a matter of change one of them.

Hope this helps.

hi, the configuration of ephesoft/alfresco it's done with the ephesoft community or entreprise ?
help please.

Hi,

enterprise but according to this post http://tpeelen.wordpress.com/2010/12/23/configuring-ephesoft-and-alfresco-for-cmis-integration the community version is capable of doing the same thing.

Regards.

Hi Im a complete noob here.

Im using Alfresco Community 4.2 on an Ubuntu Server VM and Im trying to integrate ephesoft community edition on another windows 7 VM for document scanning. I have followed the link that you all mention http://tpeelen.wordpress.com/2010/12/23/configuring-ephesoft-and-alfresco-for-cmis-integration/

I have created my ephesoftModel.xml.sample file and I edit the custom-model-context.xml.sample but I cannot find "D:ephesoft:document" on the CMIS browser….

By the way, what are the xml.sample files??? what is the ".sample"? I have also try saving the files without the ".sample" and I cannot acces the alfresco share with the admin username and password.

Please help!
