2.4 DocApp


A DocApp is nothing but a packaging unit for Documentum objects.

Typically all development work in Documentum projects happens on a development Docbase and the developed objects are released on a test Docbase for system testing before getting finally released over to the production Docbase.

A DocApp works as a deployable packaging unit to move objects across Docbases.

Within a DocApp one can include multiple Docbase objects like lifecycles, workflows, folders, etc. and create a DocApp archive from it. An archive is a file representation of a DocApp on the file system.

This archive is then installed over to another Docbase through a Documentum DocApp installer. We shall look further into this in Chapter 25.
