5.10.1 Creating the XDP MIME format in a Documentum repository

Before users can store and retrieve XDP files from a Documentum repository, you must do one of these tasks:

  • Create a corresponding XDP format in each repository where users will access XDP files.

  • Configure the Connector for EMC Documentum service to use a Documentum Administrator account when accessing the Documentum repository. In this case, the Connector for EMC Documentum service uses the XDP format whenever it is required.

Create the XDP format on Documentum Content Server using Documentum Administrator

  1. Log in to Documentum Administrator.

  2. Click Formats and then select File > New > Format.

  3. Type the following information in the corresponding fields:

    Name:xdp

    Default File Extension:xdp

    Mime Type: application/xdp

  4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for all other Documentum repositories where users will store XDP files.
