I am new to Documentum, I have to upgrade one code from Documentum foundation class to Documentum Foundation Services. Can someone provide the pros and cons of each, and good source of information to get started with it.
btw, I am writing code in Java to get information from documentum.
DFS is an abstraction layer on top of DFC.
SourceRebels is partially right, except for the detail that EMC is now treating DFS as a primary model of integration for external applications (API). You no longer need to use a compiled language (Java or .Net), since you can do everything via SOAP webservice calls. DFC remains available for low-level interaction, but with every Documentum release there are more services added to DFS.
One of the key differences is the object model. In DFS, you can create a batch of operations to send to the server for execution (for instance, create 10 objects). There are also some complex operations in DFS that would take much more code to accomplish using DFC. DFS also allows you to deploy your code to machines without the DFC installed.
