Documentum Application Installer (DAI), used for deploying Documentum DocApps, is also installed along with DAB installer if the user chooses the option correctly. Using a simple user interface, we can create different kinds of Documentum objects in our own custom DocApps, without worrying about details like Docbase connections and sessions.
Note that DAB need not be installed on the Content Server host. It can be installed on a separate desktop as long as the DocBroker connectivity for the Docbase in question is available.
Figure 8.1 shows Web Publisher objects in the WebPublisher DocApp we installed in our custom Docbase.
