The CIB documentServer described in this document serves to optimize the use of the CIB office modules (CoMod) especially when used on servers (document and print services).

The required high flexibility for integration into the respective customer environment is achieved by the realisation as a modular system of components. With the standard package, a quick realisation - even of complex document requirements - is possible in the respective customer system. In addition, the customer can realize individual or application-specific subcomponents using the customizing options provided.

Calling and using the CIB documentServer liberates the programmers of the calling application from the details of the respective technical connection of the CIB docgen modules. Calling the document generation is done by a standardized job description.

This means that a textual job description in XML format is transferred via the corresponding technical interfaces (e.g. Java, Socket, MQSeries), in which the inputs, outputs, options and even data are specified formally.

Therefore the job description is independent of the technical environment and can be generated very flexibly.

The generated document is returned directly in the desired output format or also in XML format.
