OpenText Content Server : Livelink WorkFlows

Recently i was visiting a page on SharePoint Vs Livelink workflows on

And wanted to recorrect few things on CS Workflow capabilities though not going into much details of SharePoint WorkFlows, WWF and i liked the comments of "Anton" over the post

" If you are a consultant then you probably only see those who want a custom solution which is great for you and your continued employment. But you don’t see the thousands of people who are simply designing helpful workflows. It is also incorrect to say “there’s only very few of us in the country that are good with” Oscript. There are many independant consultants and Open Text partners who use it every day along with Open Text’s own Global Services organization. If you are really a professional programmer/consultant it is simply another scripting language to learn along with the Builder tool ".

Livelink goes deeper for a truely colloborative plateform of process\business management by handling the retention management process for documents and incorporating a seemless workflow approval chain along the organization tree completely automizing the Business Process and incorporating a true Collaboration.


 
Continuing the Development Languages and integretion ho-halla i would like to publish the capability OT has.
Open Text's solutions provide records and content life cycle management across multiple systems and applications, including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft SharePoint, e-mail, file systems, digital assets, and more.

Now coming to extending the LL (OT CS) Workflow capabilities --
Livelink Workflow Extensions Module is a compilation of commonly requested features for Livelink Workflow.
Upon module installation, the following new features is made available to Livelink users:
• Extended Variable Replacement Values for Workflow Email Process Step
• Workflow Monitor and Notifications etc
WebReports Extensions for Workflow from a firm "ResonateKT"  provides you still interesting features to dig out more.

I will be posting more and welcome your comments and feedback :)

Ad User Group & Sharepoint Groups..

Hi;
A small post for my self-appreciation over AD (Active Directory) users group and Sharepoint. Here is my link for one of user's help on Tech-Net.

There is two ways you can add users in SP.
1. Domain\Domain Users
2. NT Authority \Authenticated users : Includes all domains.

Windows SharePoint Services includes three groups by default
Owners (administrator)
Members (contributor) &
Visitors (reader).
Domain groups can be added to any of these three. Basically you need to add the AD group (local) to a SharePoint group.

MOSS Site settings >> People and Groups >> and click on >> "ADD Users".

If you have created sharepoint groups you have to take "Permissions' level into consideration. This link can give you some more help for Permission level consideration.

For Groups and permissions levels please go through http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointserver/HA101032221033.aspx

Thanks,
