Using IMiS/Scan with IBM Domino Document Manager Enabler ver. 7.0.0.0
| Product: | IMiS/Scan, Domino.Doc |
| Release: | 4.x, 5.x |
| Date: | 03/14/2006 |
Case:
With introduction of IBM Domino Document Manager Enabler version 7.0.0.0, IMiS/Scan has issues handling TIF and/or PDF documents stored on IBM Domino Document Manager Server (formally Domino.Doc) due to architectural change in Enabler. All edits of documents stored on IBM Domino Document Manager Server are checked-in as .tmp and are from there on unreadable by IMiS/Scan.
Its is currently suggested to continue using Domino.Doc Desktop Enabler rel. 6.5.1 on the client side if you're using IMiS/Scan. Release of the Server side software is irrelevant and can be either 6.x or 7.x.
The issue was categorized as a BUG in IBM Domino Document Manager Enabler by IBM Quality Assurance and is pending a resolution (IBM SPR: GFLY6PLUCU).
Description:
Initial check-in procedure works OK on either TIF or PDF documents. Any latter edits by IMiS/Scan break the file type of the checked-in document which becomes .tmp document.
This has to do with architectural change in IBM Domino Document Manager Enabler rel. 7.0.0.0 which relies on registered and predefined ODMA applications (MS Word, MS PowerPoint, Lotus WordPro, Lotus 123, ...). These have their default file type extension registered in Windows Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lotus\Domino.Doc Desktop Enabler\ODMA and these extensions are then used to determine the checked-out and check-in file type. In Domino.Doc Desktop Enabler versions 6.51 and earlier the Document Type was used to determine the file extension.
Workaround:
With the patch described below you'll be able to use IMiS/Scan for TIF file type only! There is currently no way to handle both TIFs and PDFs at the same time with IBM Domino Document Manager rel 7.0.
