Control Concurrent Access

[alex.lau@ballard.com]

I am in search of a solution to control the number of concurrent access to some licensed documents. We have single license of some publications so that each time there should be only one person accessing it. We planned to publish these documents onto our intranet so we are in need of some knid of control mechanism to control concurrent access to these documents. Does anyone know if this can be done with OpenKM?

I also want to know if FlexPaper can be integrated with OpenKM?


Thanks for any advise!

Flexpaper is integrated to OpenKM and can be integrated in your intranet too.

About accessing documents by one single user, could be done some extension for doing it. Really if you want to integrate via ws with your website seems could be and easy implementation:
1- List documents ( or search ) from your website
2- Minimal extension to get access to some user ( mark into dbms ) and unmark

Obviously there's some authentication on your website, depending how do you have implemented it, etc... for what I'm thinking you want only one user previewing document at same time. With a more deep problem explanation i could image with more detail the solution.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I figured that a custom Web application can achieve this particular requirement. I want to see if this can be done in OpenKM OTB, because OpenKM looks promising being part of our Knowledge Management strategy.

Thanks,

Alex
