DRD Processor is an application for batch operations dealing with a DMS environment.

DRD Processor can be used to perform all kind of batch operations against a DMS system (document and profile import/update and export). You can import or update document files, set profile fields, security and more - even batch exports with (or without) transfer to other systems and so on.

The application uses two standards introduced by MAY Computer based on many years of experience dealing with document management systems and projects - the DRD and DRS standard.

The DRD standard stands for Document Related Data and holds profile/meta-information for documents and the document files itself or links to them. DRD can be passed between applications by passing object references or using it as a file in simple text format, XML or ZIP. The standard is open and can be used by any third party application also.

The DRS standard stands for Document Related Script and is a simple scripting language. It consists of a common part that contains commands for reading system information, reading and writing files, launching other processes and so on - and it contains a part for dealing with DRD and DMS. The language is itself extensible with plugins as script enhancements. At this time there are more than 250 commands available. See DRS online help for more details.

DRD Processor combines both technologies in the way that it can walk through folders processing files and DRS scripts. Also Included is a monitoring tool that gives an overview about the running processes.

Not required but recommended is the use of Nudger3 which gives more flexible scheduling possibilities.

DRD Processor is DMS independent and offers a plugin interface that makes it possible to integrate any DMS system and then run the same scripts no matter which is the underlying DMS.

A sample of the look of a DRD file in simple text format - easy to create from whatever application:

BEGIN DRD
  BEGIN OPT
  ;Options
    Creator=Administrator
    CreatorsWS=WSTEST
    Editor=Administrator
    EditorsWS=WSTEST
    RouteInfo=[Administrator;WSTEST]
    Action=IMPORT
    DocFile=Import.tif
  END OPT
  BEGIN PRF
  ;Profile
    Title=Test %VAR.TestSeries% %NOWyyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss%
    Author=%DMSUSER%
    Typist=%DMSUSER%
    Application=IMAGING
    DocType=TEST
    Description=Test document at %DATE% %TIME% from %DMSUSER%
  END PRF
  BEGIN SEC
  ;Security
    usr.ADMINISTRATOR=ALL
    grp.OTHERUSERS=READONLY
  END SEC
  BEGIN HST
  ;History
    Act1=Imported
  END HST
END DRD

Here is a simple DRS sample script:

SUB MAIN
 ONERROR RESUMENEXT   
 DIM Loaded   
 DIM Processed   
 
 ;DEBUGMODE ON   
 USEDMS HUMMINGBIRD_DM   
 DMSINIT   
 USEDRD CurrentDRD   
 
 FILEOPENDLG DRDFile, "*.drd|*.drd", , "*.drd"   
 IF '%SCR.DRDFile%' = '' THEN   
 DMSDONE   
 EXIT SUB   
 END IF   
 READDRDFROMFILE Loaded, "%SCR.DRDFile%"   
 
 PROCESSDRD Processed   
 
 DMSMOVEERRORS2APPERRS   
 DMSMOVEWARNINGS2APPWRNS   
 IF %ERRORS% > 0 THEN   
 SHOWERRORS   
 ELSE   
 MSGBOX "DRD processed OK: %DRDDOCID%"   
 END IF
