Ok, then it musta been the ita-bot this morning messing things up.

I'll probably not hear anything

Probably true, but you might get a nutbag who gets angry at you for stopping them from stealing your bandwidth.

I'd say that no one's that dumb, but this is the internet....

ita, am I correct in remembering that your job is document and/or content management?

If so, do you know anything about a product called Documentum?

do you know anything about a product called Documentum?

Yes, yes I do. What do you need to know?

Um, basics? Is it a good app, is it difficult to pick up? Am I talking out of my ass if I say in a job interview, "Oh, I'm very confident that I can learn the application"?

Is it anything like ClearCase?

In what role will you be using it? Is it in place, and you'd need to use content in it, check stuff in and out, perhaps publish to the web, or will you be in any sort of design role?

I'm no ClearCase expert, but my reflexive answer is no. It'll be more like Sharepoint, or Livelink, or FileNet if you've used any of those.

In what role will you be using it?

Tech Writer. The job description says:

Acting as a Coordinator for Documentum eRoom; managing memberships, changing settings, and controlling access to eRoom items; generating eRoom usage reports; importing and exporting eRoom databases; adding, modifying, and deleting eRoom files and folders; providing eRoom user training and support.

Knowledge of Documentum eRoom software is a plus, preferably in using eRoom in a Coordinator role.

Is it in place, and you'd need to use content in it, check stuff in and out, perhaps publish to the web, or will you be in any sort of design role?

I would assume that the basic structure is in place, and they're looking for someone who can maintain it.

I'm no ClearCase expert, but my reflexive answer is no. It'll be more like Sharepoint, or Livelink, or FileNet if you've used any of those.

No, alas. Should I be worried prepared to talk fast?

eRoom's not that bad, actually. The core Documentum software is pretty much endless in its complexity, but eRoom is an add on (it's collaborative software). I've done some eRoom moderation myself, without training or manuals, and it wasn't bad.

Here's the product page, and you can register to use sample eRooms too.

Okay, thanks.

I've used Documentum! We were all very bitter having to learn how, but I liked it, in the end. Then I started at a new company, and they decided they didn't want to spend the money, and use some kinda homegrown crappy thing which is even MORE irritating, and which I...still havent' learned.
