Abstract

Systems and methods for sharing updates in two repositories in a content management system. The two repositories may be configured to have a number of integration points, and a message server may send integration point messages between the repositories at these integration points. The first integration point message may be creating an event in the RIM repository, the second integration point message may be reviewing an RIM impact assessment report, the third integration point message may be executing an approved change control implementation plan, and the fourth integration point message may be updating the approved change control implementation plan with refile activity lifecycle statuses from the RIM repository. The updates automatically shared between the repositories can provide users of one repository visibility on another repository, and can help users to avoid delays in the process, duplication of efforts, and errors.

A computer-implemented method for sharing updates between a first repository and a second repository in a content management system, wherein the content management system comprises a content management server, the method comprising:

receiving integration point configuration information at the content management server for integrating the first repository and the second repository, wherein the first repository is associated with a first group of multiple user accounts, a first application and data of the first application, and the second repository is associated with a second group of multiple user accounts, a second application and data of the second application, and wherein updates in the second repository are visible to the first group of multiple user accounts associated with the first repository, and wherein the first application is a quality management application;
creating a first record in the first repository for a first change, wherein the first record comprises information about the first change;
generating a plurality of impact assessments in the first repository for the first change;
assigning one impact assessment of the plurality of impact assessments relating to the second repository to the second repository;
generating a second record for the impact assessment relating to the second repository in the first repository, wherein the second record for the impact assessment relating to the second repository comprises information about a type of the impact assessment and a link to the one impact assessment;
sending the second record for the impact assessment relating to the second repository from the first repository to the second repository via a first integration point message;
and
providing, in response to a selection of the link by a user account of the second group of multiple user accounts, the impact assessment of the first repository to the user account of the second group of multiple user accounts associated with the second repository.
