Overview
What is a Kit?
An kit is an add-on or a modification of an EMC2
Documentum xCelerated Composition Platform (xCP)
solution. This modification can be a new functionality,
an enhancement, a bug fix or a change in the presentation. These are considered
to be Xerox Emirates intellectual property. An example of an kit includes
but not limited to:
·
A code snippet or a
configuration batch
·
An add-on to a Documentum
client application
·
An application
·
A language pack to an
application with alignment handling
eInput
Arabic RTL Kit
eInput Arabic RTL
Kit is a reconstruction of eInput 2.1 web application. This release includes an
Arabic language pack of localized strings as well as a change in the alignment
of the interface. If the chosen language of the application at run time is
Arabic, the alignment will be set to RTL, otherwise LTR. This kit includes two
components: the “eInput” stand-alone Arabized project and a WDK component to
handle accessing the application.

The Kit will be
found in a zip file called “eInput_arabic_RTL.zip”. The compressed file will
contain the following:

Installation
Compatibility Issues
This release was developed for eInput 2.1 running on a
Captiva 6.5 Server. The WDK component can be used with any eInput version while
the release is specific for eInput 2.1 only. Deployment of the kit in other
contexts might succeed but has not been tested by the development team and therefore
won’t be supported.
Installation Scope
Depending on the functional requirements of the user, the
kit can be used partially or fully. The two main components of this kit are
scoped as follows:
|
Component
|
Scope
|
|
eInput_ar
|
The modified web application to give the
user the ability to set the language by accepting a parameter value.
|
|
eInput_wdk
|
A simple WDK component that will show the application inside a
Documentum client.

Note: The
second component is dependent on the first but not vice versa.
Deployment
In order to deploy the kit and have the Arabic language
functionality you need to do the following:
1. Deploy the eInput_ar
project on the application server.
a.
Extract the contents of the
zip file.
b.
Navigate through the web
applications of your application server.
c.
Copy and overwrite the
folder “eInput” with the folder provided from the extracted zip folder.
d.
Delete the application
server’s cached data (i.e “tomcat -> work -> catalina”)
e.
Restart the application server.
2. Deploy the WDK component
in your Documentum client application.
For further information on how to
deploy customized WDK components please refer to the document: EMC
Documentum Web Development Kit
Configuration
Configuring Language Manually
The modified web application expects a parameter of name
“lang” and value “en” or “ar” representing English language or Arabic language
respectively. So the address has been updated to meet the following syntax:
http://<dns>:<port>/eInput/scan.jsp?lang=<language>
Where language is “ar” or “en”.
In case the parameter “lang” was passed another value or
was not even passed at all, the application will use English as the default language
and will set the alignment to LTR.
WDK Component Configuration
You will need to provide the server address passed in the
iFrame and make it point to the application server at which eInput is deployed.
Known Issues
Open Issues
The user should not consider updating the software unless
there is a supported Arabic Kit to the newer version. In the case of updating
to a non-supported version, the language Kit will be lost but the WDK component
will be expected to work properly after proper configuration.
