12.6 Summary


In this chapter we discussed Documentum Alias Sets, Permission Sets (ACL), and Lifecycles in detail. We mentioned the detailed steps for creating an Alias Set for a Lifecycle, Permission Sets for the various states of the Lifecycle, and a custom Lifecycle object.

We also saw how Documentum resolved the alias value for an alias in the Lifecycle scope, Workflow scope, Session scope, User scope, and System scope.

The custom Lifecycle created in this chapter comprised four states: Start, WIP, Staging, and Approved and had dm_document as the primary object type linked to it. We added the News Article object type as an acceptable subtype in the Lifecycle, allowing objects created from News Article object type to be attached to this custom Lifecycle.

Finally we saw the various mechanisms to promote, power-promote, and demote objects in the different states of Lifecycles and some means to expire content from the website.
