Not able to integrate with alfresco cloud due to lack of repository id.

[gaurav_jain]

Hi, 

We have enabled integration with alfresco on-premise and not able to do the same with the alfresco cloud.   The documentation is missing reference about a “repository id” in the alfresco cloud version but the same parameter when provided for the alfresco on-premise version works well.   We have tried various ids that we found after creating a custom repository in alfresco cloud but still not able to configure. 

Looking forward to your response. 

Thanks

Gaurav

What "repository ID" do you expect to be documented? If you are using CMIS, the repository ID will be returned as part of the initial repository discovery request to Alfresco Cloud.

Hi Axel,

Actually we are trying to integrate our platform's external storage capability with Alfresco. We are able to integrate it with a on-premise version of Alfresco, we are able to extract "Repository ID" from Repository Information - Current Install from "/alfresco/service/enterprise/admin/admin-repositoryinfo", which is required for integration. But in case of cloud instance we are not able to get Repository ID of current installed repository. Please let us know how we can extract repository info for cloud version.

Please find attached screen shot of Repository ID from our on-premise, which we are look for on cloud.

That is the same Repository ID you would get when establishing a connection via CMIS. There is no other way to determine the ID in Alfresco Cloud as you will simply not have any access to the repository info web script on that system (you are not a "real" administrator).

Also note that Cloud API requires use of OAuth2 which is significantly different from an integration with the on-premise Alfresco variant.

Hi Axel,

Thanks for your responses.

Is there some tenant capability that we need to ask Alfresco support team to turn on for us?

Is the Cloud API an extension of the CMIS protocols?

Thanks

With a little help from Google you can find the basic information about the Alfresco Cloud API.
