Using Microsoft Office XML formats with IMiS/Storage Connector

Product:IMiS/Storage Connector .NET, IMiS/Storage Connector JAVA
Release:2.1.1108.9 (.NET), 3.1.1202.13 (Java)
Date:01/23/2014

Case: Current versions of IMiS/ARChive server have a limit of 64 characters on the length of object's content type (MIME). This poses an issue when dealing with the new Microsoft Office 2007 and above XML formats, since some of the formats have content types longer then supported. We have defined supplement content types for those formats. Shorter versions of content types should be used with IMiS/Storage Connector to create objects on IMiS/ARChive server.

Description:

Some of the content types (MIME) for the new XML formats in Microsoft Office 2007 and above are longer than IMiS/ARChive server can currently handle. Content type length limit on IMiS/ARChive server is 64 characters. We have defined supplement content types for formats that have longer content types than the length limit. These formats incude docx, dotx, ppsx, pptx and xlsx (see Translation table below). Translated content types should be used in IMiS/Storage Connector methods that use MIME parameter.
