XCP 2.1 - Consistent Errors

It’s been a year now, I am working on XCP designer and the only consistent thing I have noticed in this product is with every new patch release EMC is coming up with some new issues.

Yes, we are never sure if our application will work fine whenever there is an upgrade.

Is EMC engineering team facing some issues in maintaining versions for the product they are releasing? How can fixes done is older patch found missing in later one? Well, in that case I will suggest EMC Engineering team to do some homework on basics of versioning. A very basic concept in Documentum :P

XCP Designer Object Types

well there are not many to list :) ....but definitely you should be knowing the one "xcp_artifact_bundle".

As the product gives you bundled installation for all the artifacts created, you can found all of them in a single object.

XCP Designer 2.1-Introduction

I am currently working on XCP Designer 2.1 POC.  I must say it's a wonderful learning experience.

Designer is an excellent product which gives you opportunity for rapid application development.  Create everything at one place and it gives you one step deployment. 

XCP Designer provides you an interface which is a combination of Composer(to create artifacts), Forms Builder(to create UI pages), Process Builder(to create workflow templates) along with facility to generate Reports. The only thing missing here is no way to write a DFC/Java code. You still need to use eclipse/composer for this.
hmm...I can guess now your reaction must be a wow :)

So here is the list of tasks you can do in XCP designer.
1) Object Model(Content and Folders)
2) Workflow Design -Stateful/ Stateless Design
3)  Define Roles, Permission Sets etc
4) Picklists (this is same as value assistance)
5) Action Flows
6) Page Fragments
7) Application UI Pages(This is with respect to content types/folders/processes)
8) Create real time and task queries
9) Create endpoints(To connect with repository/ FTP server/ Database/SMTP server etc)
10) Define Relationships between objects
