Hi,

We are planning to integrate PEGA with CMS which is CMIS complaint; When PEGA access files stored in CMS, it writes file at app server - default path is "file://default/CMIS_Documents/*" and sends file contents to browser using sendfile function.

Now, I'm trying to understand  what benefits we will have by keeping CMS in place, since PEGA is still writing file at app server folder.

Some of the benefits I can think of is,

- since attachments are bulkier and consume maximum space in DB, so by having CMS system, PEGA DB size won't be growing too much, and this will lead to improved performance, because DB operations operate on attachment table.

- Reduce in space requirement for the DB.

Apart from OOTB capability for CMIS, can we alter this design to retrieve only DOC link from CMS, and redirect to this link which opens items in a new browser window?

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Sadaan
