AppXtender is a connection option for cloud CMIS Connections. It allows Grooper to connect to the AppEnhancer (formerly ApplicationXtender) content management system for import and export operations.

ApplicationXtender is a content management system utilizing Microsoft.NET capabilities to store documents and associated metadata online.  It stores documents in file cabinets it calls "applications". Creating an AppXtender connection will allow you to access an existing AX file cabinet.  Once connected, you can import, export, search, and browse documents from Grooper.

Version Differences

Prior to 2.72, you would have used the old CMIS Import and CMIS Export Providers. The old CMIS Import still exists in Grooper as a deprecated component. CMIS Export has been split into Mapped and Unmapped Export providers (Mapped Export being similar to how CMIS Export formerly functioned). For increased functionality in 2.72, create an AppExtender Connection Type and utilize the new CMIS Import and CMIS Export capabilities.

In order to connect to ApplicationXtender in versions before 2.72, you had to create a Grooper Service to facilitate the connection.  You no longer have to do that utilizing the AppXtender CMIS binding.  Creating a new connection to AppXtender is now as simple as creating a new CMIS Connection and editing a few properties.
