eRoom Server Access API

The Server Access API contains high level, easily programmed objects, which provide the ability to programmatically manipulate eRoom objects such as documents, folders, notes, web links and so on. It is a COM automation API. Developers can use applications such as Visual Basic and Visual C++ to create applications that call the Server Access API. Each object, for example a folder, has methods associated with it, such as adding a file. These methods cause an action to occur on the eRoom server.

Using the Server Access API, a developer can write applications that perform many of the actions a user might perform in an eRoom. For example, the developer can create applications that can:

• Create and delete objects

• Create and modify members

• Navigate through facilities, eRooms and folders

• Search eRooms

• Add or edit attachments

• Import documents into eRoom from a server
