Content Manager for iSeries – New with V5R1
• Capture, Audit, and Storage Management Usability improvements include:
– Import options provide the capability on the iSeries server to import and index an
object into VI/400
– Object Staging provides the capability to selectively retrieve items from secondary
storage to DASD
– Storage Location Indicator provides the capability to have the storage location
indicator selectable as a system attribute
– Activity Logging: The VI/400 server logs user activity
• Improved folder options:
Recursive Auto-folder: Currently, auto-folder is a VI/400 client application function and is
supported for a single level of indexing. With this enhancement, auto-folder will be a
server function and will be recursive.
• Multiple workflow enhancements:
– Workflow Decision Point: VI/400 will support workflow variables of the following four
categories: Workflow system variables, Workflow user-defined variables, Library
variables, External application variables
– Library variables support: The library variables are read-only and are not explicitly
maintained within the work package variable file, EKD0756.
– Workflow - Collection Point: Provide the ability to obtain collection point criteria
during run-time.
– Workflow - Multiple Suspend Criteria: Provide the capability to specify multiple
pending requests for an item.

•
