Specifying a rule to move content

You can define a rule to specify whether content is federated or moved.

About this task

A move content operation is applied differently depending on the state of the document.

New
The document is not federated. A move content operation that is applied to a document in this state causes the document to be federated and the content to be moved.
Existing with federated content
The document is federated and the content is in the source repository. A move content operation that is applied to a document in this state causes the document properties to be updated and the content to be moved.
Existing with moved content
The document is federated and the content was already moved to a local Content Platform Engine object store. The move content step is ignored but the property updates continue if necessary. The latter case is rare because move content causes the source version to be deleted so that it does not appear in future import requests.

Procedure

To specify the content behavior:

  1. In the Federation Administration application, select the Rule Builder tab.
  2. Select the FileNet® P8 target object store that is the destination for the content.
  3. Select the FileNet P8 target folder that is the destination for the content. To prevent the content from being filed in a specific folder, select the Do not file option.
  4. Select a content operation.
  5. If you selected Move as the content operation, select a destination storage area. Some storage areas have a default retention period that is associated with them. For these storage areas, the default retention period is displayed with the selected storage area so that Content Federation Service administrators can avoid unintentionally moving content to a storage area with retention periods that are not appropriate for the content.
