autostore

We are integrating Autostore 7 with Alfresco 5, we had trouble connecting and found out supported Alfresco version is 4, I think it is because V5 doesn´t have explorer, but not sure, so we used Webdav method to transfer files, end usere wants to connect directly to Alfresco, Nuance says connector is developed by Alfresco not them, so my question is if there is an update on when this connector will be available or if it is even in the development road map.

I don't think that Alfresco is developing a connector for Nuance. In any way, in the official documentation Alfresco 5 is supported for Autostore 7: https://www.nuance.com/content/dam/nuance/en_us/collateral/imaging/data-sheet/ds-nuance-autostore-ro... 

Probably they are using a CMIS Connector, and you'll have to adjust the Alfresco URL endpoint.

Ups: http://dl.nsiautostore.com/swupdates/7.00/AutoStore%20Administration%20Guide.pdf

They are using Alfresco SOAP API, which was discontinued in Alfresco 4.2

So it looks like AutoStore 7 cannot be integrated with Alfresco 5 at all

Thanks Angel, I will check with Alfresco user, I was told by Nuance they don´t develop the connector, reason why I posted this question.

"Thank you for contacting Nuance Support.  The Alfresco connector is not developed by Nuance/eCopy, but is instead developed by Alfresco themselves.  I recommend contacting them for compatibility information."

I will check with user and run some tests according to your recomendation to adjust the URL, configuration of alfresco connector in Autostore prompts me to enter server address and URL which by default is /api/*, I am able to connect but unable to transfer AS output to Alfresco, using Webdav connector I can successfully publish in Alfresco.

You cannot use Autostore 7 with Alfresco 5, as SOAP WS API was removed in that version. It looks like Autostore 7 requires this removed API to work.
