dg hyparchive Business Adapter

The business adapter for dg hyparchive enables you to use the dataglobal Enterprise Content Management solution dg hyparchive, hereafter called hyparchive, as the location for files that are normally saved in Intrexx data groups on the local file system. In addition to the saving of files, a document’s stamp fields can be edited and maintained. And with that it’s irrelevant for the portal user, whether the file, which is available in the portal, is stored locally or in hyparchive.

The following diagram demonstrates the role of the adapter and the related components.

A data field of an Intrexx data group, which is linked to hyparchive, corresponds to a document or document folder in hyparchive. One or multiple documents can be saved per data field. This depends on whether the object in hyparchive corresponds to a single file or an archive.

Files can not only be saved in hyparchive, but also opened (or actually downloaded) directly from hyparchive in an Intrexx portal. The access to hyparchive takes place with a specific hyparchive user, whereby all of the permissions in hyparchive are taken into consideration. Depending on the authentication method, Intrexx portal users can either directly log in to hyparchive or the access takes place with a so-called static user, which is setup in the file field’s Configuration.

Intrexx is fundamentally viewed as the leading system in the interaction with hyparchive. This means that files are uploaded and their stamp information is created in Intrexx and then transferred to hyparchive. With that, stamp data is saved in hyparchive and additionally in the Intrexx data fields; files are only saved in hyparchive though.

A full-text search of the contents of the documents is not possible in the portal search function, because the files only exist in hyparchive. Searching in hyparchive can be made possible via Intrexx filters or the research function of the hyparchive web client.

In the Intrexx module Processes, the same actions are available to hyparchive, as to the normal Intrexx data groups. This allows files to be transferred via a process from Intrexx to hyparchive and vice versa.

dg hyparchive configuration in the Integration Center
