The FileNet® P8 WebDAV
Servlet supports the following basic authoring operations:
- Create new documents
- Version documents (major version only)
- Move documents
- Copy documents
- Delete documents
- View documents
- Create new folders
- Move folders
- Copy folders
- Delete folders
Additional copy information
- Users can copy and paste from a local directory to a FileNet P8 folder and from a FileNet P8 folder to a local directory using
a WebDAV client such as Windows Explorer.
- There is no support for copying and pasting across object stores.
The source and target FileNet P8
folders must reside within the same object store.
- Copying a document from one FileNet P8
folder to another creates a document with the same content in the
target folder. The following rules apply to the copy:
- Version information is not preserved. The new document is Version
1 even if the source contained multiple versions.
- Class, property, and security settings are not preserved. The
class, property and security settings of the target, or new, document
depend on whether there is an entry template associated with the target FileNet P8 folder.
- If the source document is a multi-content document, only the first
content element from the original document is copied to the target
document.
