Understanding the FileNet P8 WebDAV Servlet
The FileNet P8 WebDAV Servlet does not support minor versions. When you save a document using a FileNet P8 WebDAV Servlet supported client, a major version of the document is created. View the documentation supplied by the various client vendors for specific details about version control with the client applications.
NOTE If version control is an issue for your environment, you should manage objects from FileNet P8 Enterprise Manager, Workplace, supported clients that allow versioning, or custom applications.
TIP When you try to delete a folder by dragging and dropping it in the Windows Recycle Bin using Windows Explorer, drag the folder from the left pane of Windows® Explorer. Dragging and dropping to the Recycle Bin does not work from the right pane due to a Windows Explorer anomaly. This is not a FileNet P8 WebDAV Servlet limitation.
Locking files using a WebDAV client
CAUTION Locks placed on documents by WebDAV clients are not honored by Workplace. Therefore, it is possible for a Workplace user to update a document which is currently locked by a WebDAV client application.
Locks between WebDAV clients are honored by other WebDAV clients and normal error messages will result when trying to check out or check in files that are locked by WebDAV clients. WebDAV users should not open documents using a vendor software-supported WebDAV application if that document is checked out in either Workplace or Enterprise Manager.
