Hi Brian,
I'm assuming you want Documentum integration, just no menu pick, in which
case the following won't help:
Disable Documentum integration by editing feature.cf. Obviously you don't
want users to have to do this, but you can use a batch file, different batch
files, really, to copy a Documentum enabled feature.cf into the local custom
folder of a given user or a Documentum disabled feature.cf depending on the
task/s they are performing. If you need to determine users by groups etc.,
it is still do-able, but obviously with lots more batch file coding or some
other tricks (which custom folder to use, for example).
More along the lines of what you are probably hoping for, removing the
Documentum menu only but leaving the functionality:
I have never done this so I don't know how it will work (for example, will
you have to find where Documentum is setting a menu callback or hook and
modify it since those menus are getting set and reset throughout a given
session), but I did run into conflicts with Documentum's menu setting code
while trying to load my own menus on Editor startup. I resolved this by
setting the environment variable APTRC and pointing it to an ACL stored in
the scripts subfolder of the custom menu. Doing this resolved the timing
issues. *Maybe* if you use this var and your menu_delete command, you'll be
able to prevent the menu from showing up on load. After that is anyone's
guess.
(But tell us if you succeed and what the ongoing behavior is. I'm curious!)
