Language used to develop CS10 2

[dhavalbakhda]

Hi,

I am quite new to opentext. I wanted to know that Content server 10 is developed on which language (i.e java , .Net).

OTCS ia a re branded product called livelink from OT .I believe livelink came into life in 1995(the search system even before that)

http://www.opentext.com/2/global/company/company-history-95-98.htm

I still have seen Odesta's product in 1999
The language available for developers is called Oscript. Its IDE is called builder.
Builder will soon be replaced by a Eclipse plugin dubbed Oclipse(in beta now)

Behind builder OT has adopted a C++ interfaces/code(which we cannot see) just like java's compiler
is written in C,C++ . Oscript also has the concept of a virtual machine long before JVM came to life.
The language looks like any other language you may have seen here's a snippet.It has things you may have not seen
like Assoc(assosh an associative array),Dynamic,RecArray.It is fun

function Assoc ClearClassification(Dynamic prgCtx, DAPINODE node, Integer classId)

	Assoc	retVal
	
	DAPINODE	classNode	= DAPI.GetNodeByID(prgCtx.DAPISess(), 0, classId)
	Object 		classLLNode	= $LLIApi.LLNodeSubsystem.GetItem( classNode.pSubType )
	
	Assoc		classifyInfo = Assoc.CreateAssoc()
	Integer 	nodeId = node.pId
	
	retVal = classLLNode.UnClassifyItem( prgCtx, classNode, node, classifyInfo, FALSE )

	return retVal

end

You also has API's with which you can use any .NET ,Java or even C,C+= to write integrations.These integartor's code will finally convert to
oscript for livelink to deliver

Also many Computer science pundits whom I have talked to thinks that Frame based languages such as Oscript had at one time a rightful place
so that is why OT adopted it over OOP langauges.Many things in oscript are very much like programming in a OOP lang.

BTW OT is a company there is no one product called OpenText
The flag ship products people use from the company is(at least to me)

Livelink- Core DMS,collboration,workflow,search,Records Management,Physical Objects (written in C,C++,Oscript)
Archive Server-A cheap and efficient way to keep stuff as in documents many SAP installations use this(primarily C,++)
with easy to use API's in java and other languages.many other solutions such as email exchange,Sharepoint etc use the easy
integration of this layer.

Increasingly OT is converting a lot of thir SAP/Archivelink customers into what they call Extended ECM
This will involve a middleware called RCS (Run Time & Core Services)

There are atleast 20 other well known solutions other than this from OT.

Simply put, for OpenText livelink/content server :

- Core application written in C++, which you can't edit
- most functionality implemented in OScript, which is a custom language similar to SmallTalk
- APIs exist at the traditional level for C++, .Net and Java
- WebService APIs are also available
