Add a SharePoint Server to Calyx RIM

You can add a SharePoint Server to Calyx RIM.

During configuration, keep in mind that the names used for connecting to SharePoint servers and repositories are case-sensitive. When the name is case-sensitive, the uppercase or lowercase spelling of the name must be correct for the SharePoint DMS to function correctly.

To add a SharePoint server to Calyx RIM:
  1. Log on to  Calyx RIM as an administrator.
  2. In the Calyx RIM menu, select: GoTo > Technical Administration.
    The Available Options for Technical Administration appear. 
  3. In the Available Options list, click DMS Server Management.
  4. In the Servers view, click Create .
  5. Open the Server Type list and select SharePoint.
  6. In the Server Name field, enter the name of the SharePoint server.
    The Active Flag default setting is Y, for active, so the server is active as soon as it is added to Calyx RIM. DMS servers can be deactivated or activated again at any time after configuration.
  7. In the Host Name field, enter the name of the SharePoint host.
  8. In the Port field, enter the port number of the SharePoint server.
  9. In the  Calyx RIM Webservice URL field, enter the complete URL of the Calyx RIM Webservice.
  10. In the Timeout field, leave this field blank to use the default timeout setting of 60,000 milliseconds (1 minute).
    If you encounter timeout issues (for example: when opening extraordinarily large documents for in-process linking), you can extend the timeout period by entering a greater number (in milliseconds) in the Timeout field.
  11. To save the new DMS server settings, click Save.
