OTIF version 1.3.5 - the Open Tool Integration Framework

How to use the package

After successfully installing the OTIF framework you will have an OTIF item in the Start Menu/Programs. There are couples of shortcuts in this folder which you may click on to start, manage or work with the framework.

Right after the first installation you could not do much with the framework because there are no paradigms and translators registered. So our next step is to register a workflow - a tool chain - which specifies some paradigms and translators.

You may create your own workflow model or if you installed any of the OTIF Extensions you may find some workflow files in the Workflows folder.

You may find more information about designing and interpreting workflows in the OTIF_Usage_Guide.pdf file in the Documents folder.

After successfully interpreting a workflow we are able to send, translate and fetch some documents.

If you would like to play with the framework you need one of the extension packages of the OTIF. These extension packages contain some translators, tool adaptors, samples and pre-defined workflow models to play with.


Other useful documentations

If you have installed any of the OTIF extensions you may find further Getting Started documentations about specific information of the extension module in your installation directory.
