Web Services for Document Storage
ActiveDocs Opus supports Document Storage into:
The ActiveDocs Opus database
The file system
SharePoint
WebDAV compliant applications
Web Services
The Web Services for Document Storage feature allows completed documents to be sent automatically to a nominated Web Service, from where they can also be retrieved.
Using a Web Service as a document repository offers extensive possibilities for post-creation handling of documents.
ActiveDocs provides a specification for the Web Service interface that allows the document bytes, metadata, and Answers to be sent. The Web Service, developed by the customer or a third-party integrator, typically interacts with another application such as a Document Management System, storage system, or workflow product, using the document information to make intelligent decisions about the onward handling of the document.
Other document storage options are explored in our Document Lifecycle and Document Storage pages. Web Services for Data SourcesData Views are ActiveDocs Opus Design Components which allow connections to any accessible ODBC- or OLE- compliant data source, from a spreadsheet to a corporate database.
ActiveDocs Opus Data Views can connect directly or via Web Services, for which ActiveDocs provides the interface specification. The use of such Web Services – written by the customer or by third-party integrators – offers extensive new possibilities for the use of data sources which may be remote (where keeping direct links open is not an option), or require auditing (the Web Service is told who is making the request), or not suited to ODBC/OLE representation (specialised services, legacy systems).
