TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Everything I work on (webs, Word files, PDFs, and
Robohelp files) are housed on Documentum. I've written
test documents and Functional Requirement
Specifications (FRSs) for Documentum applications.
This afternoon, I'm upgrading to Workspace 3.2.10. and
in a couple of months we're supposed to upgrade to 4i.
My department's intranet Knowledgeweb that I maintain
accesses Documentum-stored material through something
Documentum refers to as RightSite.
Our applications are integrated with Oracle to a very
large extent.
What questions do you have? I'm not a programmer and
am not involved in writing DQL (Documentum Query
language, similar to SQL) statements for searching for
material, but i can answer questions from a user's
POV.
