Hi, I've searched a bit to find out how DFC handles aspect attributes. It seems like it is not straightforward to do this? Here's the link:
https://community.emc.com/thread/22573?start=0&tstart=0 One of the answers seems to imply that for aspects in DFC you need to find the aspect reference (somehow) and then get the attribute value directly from the aspect's object ID. If that turns out to be correct, then the Documentum Connector does not know how to do that, although it could be readily added if I could figure out how to look up the aspect object ID given the document's object ID. We would also need a way of using DQL to locate all the aspect IDs (and their attribute names) that are associated with a document. It sounds like that simply works? I don't know...
