The federation server allows transparent access to external data from all SAPERION components. This docu-ment describes these components and their functionality for the IXOS integration with SAPERION. The goal of the integration is to access OpenText (IXOS) documents via SAPERION, without the use of the original Open-Text software.
To do this, the service analyzes the table data in the OpenText archive and through this is able to determine the access path in the actual Siemens OpenText archive structures. OpenText will be referred to as OT in the rest of this document.
