The Google Enterprise Connector for EMC Documentum is software that enables the Google Search Appliance to index and search content files and metadata that are stored in an EMC Documentum content repository. The connector formats content and metadata from the repository and feeds it to the Google Search Appliance as a content feed. This section discusses how the Google Enterprise Connector for EMC Documentum works and the different software components in an installation.

For a general overview of how the connector manager and connectors work, see Introducing Connectors.

After you install and configure a Documentum connector repository, the connector traverses the Documentum connector repository and feeds Documentum connector documents and their metadata to the search appliance for indexing. Traversal begings with the earliest document modification date and works forward. After the initial traversal, the connector works in an incremental mode to index documents that are added or modified.

The Documentum connector connector provides query-time authentication and authorization using the available native security mechanisms.

Components in the Google Enterprise Connector Installation

A typical installation consists of these components:

• A content repository, which consists of the content management system server, the content files, and the supporting database in which metadata is stored, if anyA Google Search Appliance can index multiple repositories. You must configure one connector for each repository you index.
• The content management system web client, installed on any platform supported by the content management system
• The content management system’s native API, which is typically installed on the connector manager host
• Any other supporting software components of the content management system
• Java Development Kit (JDK) or Java Runtime Environment version 1.5
• Google Enterprise Connector installation, which consists of Apache Tomcat, the connector manager, and the connector for your content management system. These components are installed using a Google-provided installer
