CMIS

This module adds a new configuration screen where you store the details of an external document management server that speaks CMIS. It is the base layer other connector modules build on; on its own it does not move any documents.

Where it appears in Odoo: - A new 'CMIS' menu under Settings, containing a 'Backends' entry. - A list and a form to create, edit and search CMIS backends.

What users can do: - Record a backend name, the server location (URL), a username, a password and an 'Initial directory for writing' (default '/'). - Press a 'Test Directory' button on the form to check that Odoo can actually write into the configured folder on the server.

Business rules and automatic behaviour: - The backend name must be unique; Odoo refuses duplicates. - Name, location, username, password and initial directory are mandatory. - The test button tries to create a small test document in the target folder and reports success or a clear error, for example if the test file already exists or if access rights are missing. - Folder paths are created on the server when needed, and file names used in queries are escaped to avoid injection.

Who can use it: - All internal users can view backends; only Settings administrators can create, change or delete them.

It touches the cmis.backend model and requires the external Python library cmislib to be installed.
