How to test Documentum RESTful APIs

I'm successfully running the Documentum Developer Edition on a Virtual Machine as suggested by Documentum's Official Site. I have access to the admin page, and now i'd like to test the RESTful apis to check if it's corrently working, to get an idea on how Documentum works. Do you know how to do it? What URLs can i visit with the Virtual Machine's browser to test REST apis (possibly with the GET method)? Please note that i currently can't access the official ecm documentation for office reasons.

Solution

  • I am running Documentum xCP 2.1 Developer Edition. I doubt that REST services on Documentum 7.0/7.1 Developer Edition have different base URL address but check few usual ports at server with either dctm-rest or documentum-rest path.

    If by chance you are running xCP 2.1 DE try with

    http://demo-server:8080/dctm-rest/repositories/MyRepo

    It'll list you repository details. As you can assume 

    http://demo-server:8080/dctm-rest

    is the base URL for Documentum REST services. You can play from there. Best part is to create stateless process which you'll consume as REST services from your client. ;)
