How to Integrate Ephesoft and Alfresco Enterprises possess and receive a whole lot of documents of various types in hard copies. It is a cumbersome task to add to your Alfresco system. By just scanning the documents and transferring to the document library serves an only limited purpose. If enterprises try to add the metadata or properties manually to each document, the time take may be irrational to this activity. To automate this process, Alfresco users can integrate Ephesoft which shortens the above time and cuts the cost of managing this process. This blog explains the easier way to integrate Ephesoft and Alfresco. This configuration is tested with Alfresco 5.x Community Edition. Integration of Ephesoft with Alfresco is done by configuring CMIS plugin in Ephesoft. This plugin, as the name itself suggests, can be used to push or pull data from CMIS compatible document repositories such as Alfresco. However, even before that, we have to first prepare Ephesoft by mapping attributes.

We want to fetch five properties from each invoice viz. part number, invoice total, invoice date, state, and city. The first step is to edit and configure the DLF-Attribute-mapping.properties file. This file can be found at location [EphesoftInstallationDirectory]SharedFolders[Batch-class-Folder]cmis-pluginmapping/DLF-Attribute-mapping.properties E.g., if Ephesoft is installed in E: drive, the location of a batch file would be E:EphesoftSharedFolders/BC12/cmis-plugin-mapping/DLF-Attributemapping.properties Ex. My configuration is(add in DLF-Attribute-mapping.properties ) Bill=D:ephesoft:document Bill.PartNumber=ephesoft:partNumber Bill.InvoiceTotal=ephesoft:invoiceTotal Bill.InvoiceDate=ephesoft:invoiceDate Bill.State=ephesoft:state Bill.City=ephesoft:city
