Synchronizing Data
When you want to share data between DocMgt and another application you can always leverage custom development. DocMgt has a full suite of REST APIs that can be used to communicate with DocMgt to synchronize data, send data or receive data. If you have the necessary development resources, that would give you the most options.
- REST API Documentation (demo site)
- Each site has its own API docs and testing page at http://<yoursite>/swagger.
However, if all you need is a simple way to send data to your application then the DocMgt Importer might be your simplest way to go.
DocMgt Importer is a Windows-based, command-line application for automated importing into a DocMgt server. It can be scheduled to run on a regular basis to look for data to import for a truly automated synchronization.
The format most commonly used is CSV where the data that needs to be sent to DocMgt is written out to a folder where Importer is monitoring. The CSV is then read and uploaded to the DocMgt server. Importer is usually configured to use a "match and merge" method which will look for an existing record to update. If found, that record is updated with the new values. If not found, the record is added as a new record.
Importer can also be configured to run custom scripts on the data before import to allow for flexible data formatting.
