Hi Pankaj, ManifoldCF is not set up as a document pipeline. The model used presumes that any document modification is a downstream responsibility of whatever system the documents are output to. So you would want to think of the problem as simply getting all the necessary information to that system through ManifoldCF. Furthermore, updating systems that ManifoldCF crawls is expressly prohibited in most situations our users find themselves in.
What I would suggest is one of the following: (1) Configure the document extraction pipeline for whatever search engine is your target, to add a stage that does what you want. If it is Solr, you would modify the Tika pipeline, for instance. You won't be able to use any ManifoldCF code for this, except as perhaps an example. This plugin would modify documents back in Documentum. (2) If there is no such pipeline available, you can build a custom output connector that does essentially the same thing. There is a method that output connectors have which is called at the end of all jobs, called noteJobComplete(). In either case, DFC has such a massive (and outdated) dependency list that you probably cannot run it in the same JVM as either your search engine or ManifoldCF. That is why ManifoldCF communicates with Documentum only through the MCF Documentum server process, using RMI to invoke methods in that process. You will also need to make sure all the required information for the postprocessing is included as metadata in the RepositoryDocument object.
