WebDAV clients such as Microsoft Office
applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), Macromedia Dreamweaver, or Adobe GoLive can lock documents
in an object store. Since you might use both Workplace XT and WebDAV
clients to access files in the object store, be aware of the following:
- Workplace XT does not recognize locks by WebDAV clients.
- 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.
- Some documents cannot be copied and pasted from folders in Windows
Explorer with WebDAV. Documents with content and a file size over
0 bytes can be copied and pasted, and will appear in both the original
and copied-to destination folders. However, files with no content
or 0 byte size cannot. The 0 byte or no content files are not viewable
in Windows Explorer, and as such, cannot be copied to the destination
folder.
- WebDAV clients do not recognize the checkout status of files checked
out by Workplace XT.
Important: If you are checking out objects from both WebDAV
clients and Workplace XT, take care to ensure that files modified
by the other client are not overwritten during the checkin process.
The following items cannot be checked out by a WebDAV client:
- Entry templates for documents, folders, and custom objects
- Search templates and stored searches
- FileNet® P8 eForms form
data
- IBM® InfoSphere™ Enterprise Records records
