About basic authoring operations
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.
