Our company is trying to avoid using JDE as a document management tool.
We think that using JDE for large attachments can be a detrimental to performance and storage.
Besides, there are better document management tools out there and JDE was not designed for that.
Which solutions have you guys provided to your companies/clients on this topic?
We are thinking to allow only text as attachment and this includes the URL to a particular document type: .pdf, .doc, .xls, .csv, .cad, .jpg, etc.
The server in charge of that would have to be able to run all the related applications for the document types supported.
We have encounter several issues with this approach. One of the problems is security. How to transfer the security matrix from JDE to that tool?
The purpose is that these document can only be accessed via JDE by users. Direct access to the document manager server is for admin only.
Also, the link between URL in JDE and the current location for the server can never be changed/compromised by any transfer or purge, etc.
Please criticize this solution, weaknesses and strengths.
If you have a better model that has been implemented, I am all ears.
Thanks!
