26.3 Summary


In this chapter we introduced DQL (Document Query Language) queries and Server API commands as extremely handy tools for inspecting the Documentum Docbase. DQL queries and API commands can be issued from IDQL and IAPI utilities respectively or from within web clients such as Documentum Administrator and Web Publisher.

Using DQL queries and API commands, we saw examples of creating a document object, setting its attributes, associating a content file with it, linking it to a cabinet, and finally retrieving it and deleting it from the Docbase.

While API commands are issued one by one and can work on one object at a time, DQL queries can affect multiple objects in a single execution.
