TIMETOWEB CMS Enterprise Integration Modules

The TIMETOWEB CMS Datasource Technology supports the integration of different content or information sources. It supports the integration of information from Notes databases, from SAP, ODBC, from other websites, form XML or from a FTP server.



The most trivial data source is the content from within the TIMETOWEB CMS. Examples are news, events, items, graphics or links. These may be arranged in lists. The lists may sorted ascending or descending or by a formula. The lists can be navigated using categorization or paging or a combination of both. A single information item can then be displayed using an conventional template.

Embedding of external data can be set up in a same way. A very interesting alternative to displaying an data source pointing to an information item (using an conventional template) is a data source pointing to another data source. The latter data source is called a conditional data source, i.e. a data source that is called with a certain condition, such as a URI to retrieve.
