Main site accessible via CMIS, but how to access other sites and sub-sites?

Question

The main site can be accessed via CMIS URL http://server/_vti_bin/cmis/rest?getRepositories.

But the list of repositories at this address does not seem to include other sites and sub-sites.

How to access them?

• Does they have their own, different CMIS URLs?
• Are they accessible at the same CMIS URLs via any other trick?

Answer 1

It is important to activate CMIS for each site and sub-site:

Once this is done, CMIS can be accessed at this endpoint URL:

http://site/subsite/_vti_bin/cmis/rest?getRepositories

(There are various rumours about alternative URLs, for instance http://server/sub/site/_vti_bin/ListData.svc. And according to this blog, the CMIS URL syntax for sub-sites is http://server/sub/site/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/ListName)

Answer 2

From Technet I get the impression that in

http://web/_vti_bin/cmis/rest/[repositoryid]?command

the http://web should be the URL to the Web (site or sub-site) you want to get content from
