Documents in an enterprise progress through a well-defined authoring-review process.
Let us take an example of such a process:
Content Server provides lifecycles to automate these various stages in the life of a document.
Simply speaking, a lifecycle is a sequence of states that describe the various stages in the life of an object. Documentum stores lifecycles in the form of a policy object (dm_policy
) in the Docbase.
Figure 2.13 shows a sample lifecycle as it is seen in Documentum Application Builder.
We will delve deeper into lifecycles in Chapter 12.
