Overview of other DOPiX modules
DOPiX/Dialog
DOPiX/Dialog provides an easily accessible user interface together with a rich set of features covering all aspects of document creation. It reveals the document's context by showing a list of recipients and details of the other addresses and sender data involved. DOPiX/Dialog is available as a FAT client as well as web client.
- Components are selected from within the built-in editor, and appear immediately in the document
- Restricted free text areas: multiple text areas and insertion of variable values in the normal flow of text
- Document manipulation may be restricted as required
- Alternative selection of components from groups
- Selection of recipients from additional addresses
- Dispatch control with many standard output channels may be flexibly adapted to meet customer requirements
DOPiX/Dialog can be run as a web or thin client application. The web or thin client may be easily embedded in existing browser or Java applications. The "look and feel" and the appearance of the content may be configured to suit the customer's requirements.
Thanks to Java applet technology, the web and thin client versions always enjoy the same functionality as the fat client, thus ensuring the integration of the user-friendly editor.
- Database-based clipboard for texts makes it easy to swap frequently used texts in individual agencies or departments
- Built-in Jadice viewer provides preview of PDF and AFP files
- Tree-based document selection with built-in search filter
- The content of the document tree can be controlled by the business application and by the logic underlying the document tree
- The tree selection can include links to document lists of documents held in intermediate storage, for example, or documents undergoing revision
- Selection of DOPiX/Designer-based attachments
- The add-on module DOPiX/Desktop allows users to attach archive documents, graphics, OpenOffice documents, and much more, to their new documents
DOPiX/Admin
DOPiX/Admin manages all DOPiX/Repository objects, the objects you need to work with documents, including text components, document templates, menus, rules of composition, fonts, images, signatures, overlays and more, as well as the objects used to configure and create test data and test drivers.
- Object structure display
- Full text search in component texts and in the logic
- Editor manages text content separately from the logic
- You work in the clearly structured user interface with conditions, commands and decision tables for the objects
- Form creation with the built-in DOPiX/Designer
- Management of all AFP, graphic and font resources
To make your daily work easier and help you maintain an overview, you can allocate objects to any category you like. The object structure display and the cross-reference display make it easier to deal with objects. Furthermore, using test drivers, you can run a variety of test scenarios to check the entire document creation process from the user's perspective.
- Text manual for components and document templates
- All objects can be unloaded, modified and reloaded in an XML format
- Most system settings can be configured in the repository
- The configurator makes it very easy to adjust a wide range of settings
DOPiX/SmartAdmin
Mit dem DOPiX/SmartAdmin makes document creation a more efficient process by enabling you to concentrate on the actual content of your documents. Documents may be authored in the relevant specialist department, as DOPiX/SmartAdmin will make sure that no changes are made to those components that are required for technical or administrative reasons.
- Tree view display of the part of the document template relevant to the user
- Direct preview of the document during administration
- Semi-automated object generation when creating new documents
- Significantly improved document administration efficiency
- Most of the authoring can be done in the relevant departments
- Reduction in time-to-market when creating new documents or revising existing ones
Der DOPiX/SmartAdmin is an extension of the DOPiX/Admin. It permits document-centric administration whilst ensuring that technical and organizational requirements such as naming conventions, document framework structures and user roles are observed.
By hiding technical and organizational complexities such as the control components, layout details and supporting documents (e.g. attachments), the administrator can focus on the essentials, the text content of a document. The default document framework is generated automatically, ensuring that naming conventions are observed.
- Test objects for the documents can be created and maintained
- When used in combination with DOPiX/Flow, many simultaneous changes to documents as well as newly written text can be organized and efficiently implemented
DOPiX/Server
DOPiX/Server is the central service for all DOPiX components and all interfaces to customer applications. It takes care of all batch processes, such as formatting and exporting finished documents from the document pool.
- XML-based interfaces including for HTTP(S), IP, Websphere MQ, JMS, Named Pipes and file system
- Communication via Websphere MQ
- XML-based callback interfaces for requesting business data during document creation
- Dispatch channels including for central printing, instant printing, email, fax
- Activation of downstream applications such as archiving via HTTP(S), Websphere MQ, JMS, FTP(S) and file system and others
- Creation of metadata for documents
- Includes the complete logic for the document creation processes
- Link to LDAP-based authentication systems
- User authentication and authorization
DOPiX/Server is based on Java Standard Edition as well as IBM zOS and therefore works in every customer environment.
- Other formats may be processed with the add-on module DOPiX/Connect
- Support for calls from IMS and CICS environments via IP or Websphere MQ
- Support for ASF-SIB interfaces in conjunction with DOPiX host modules
- Management and caching of versioned repository objects and users and/or roles
- Management of the document pool with DOPiX/Desktop attachments
- Various document creation processes can easily be modified for maximum efficiency or maximum flexibility
- OO interface for the direct integration of callbacks
- Logging and recording for monitoring and fault analysis
Other modules:
