Reference Locations
You can use reference locations to open an assembly from within a document management system (DMS) or repository.
The reference location is an HTML file that contains all the assembly attributes and a link that enables you to open the assembly automatically. When you click the reference location in the DMS, it opens a browse window with the attributes of the assembly, including a link to the assembly. Clicking this link takes you to the Calyx RIM login page. After you enter your login information, Calyx RIM opens the assembly.
The reference location name is the name you assign to the reference location.
Keep in mind the following:
- Calyx RIM maintains only one reference location for an assembly version. If a reference location exists in Documentum or the file system and it is moved or renamed, the original reference location is not deleted. Instead, another reference location is created for the same assembly version.
- You can create a reference location when the assembly is created by editing the assembly properties. Once an assembly exists, you must use the Set Reference Location action button to change it.
- When a reference location is created from the current active view, launching the reference location takes you to the first sequence assembly in the lifecycle. From there, you have to switch to the current active view.
- Calyx RIM References to DMS elements can go to documents only; they cannot reference a compound document, virtual document, or link.
- For an assembly with a reference location defined in Documentum, to avoid having multiple versions of the assembly showing as Current, you must not change the reference location for any of the assembly versions to a different directory in Documentum.
