Within the content folder structure of the same server: When you copy a file
from a content folder on a server in the integration hierarchy to a different folder on the same server, then a new content item is checked in to the server with a new
content ID. This means that the server now stores two copies of the same file in two different locations. Please note that these files are in no way connected; they
are completely separate entities. Any changes to one file do not affect the other, and vice versa. The new content item keeps all the metadata from the original file,
including the security group. However, if the folder you copy the file into has the Force Folder Security property set to True, then the copied file has its security
group changed to match that of the destination folder see
Section A.8, Hierarchical Folder Information Page
.
■
Between two different content servers: In addition to copying a file within the
same content server, you can also copy a file between different servers in the integration hierarchy. When you copy and paste between servers, the file you
paste to the new location is checked in to that content server as a new, separate content item with a new content ID, unless a content item with the same file name
and extension already exist in the folder. In that event, the copied file is checked in to the content server as a new revision to the existing file.
When a new content item is checked in to the folder on the target server, you may be prompted to provide metadata for the new item. This happens if the target
server is an Oracle Content Server 11g instance and metadata prompting has been enabled for the folder see
Section A.8, Hierarchical Folder Information Page .
You are also prompted for metadata if any required metadata is missing. The default metadata values in the check-in form will be the ones specified for the
content folder that the file was copied into.
8.14 Moving Content Folders and Files
You can move items to a content server in much the same way as other files on your computer. After selecting the folders or files to be moved, you can use all standard
Windows methods of moving items:
■
Right-click and choose Cut. Then, at the target location, right-click and choose Paste
.
■
Press Ctrl+X on your keyboard. Then, at the target location, press Ctrl+V.
■
Choose Cut from the Edit menu. Then, at the target location, choose Paste from the Edit menu. Please note that this is supported only in Windows Explorer, not
in e-mail applications.
■
Drag and drop the selected folders andor files to the target location within the integration hierarchy.
Please note the following:
■
If Universal Records Management Oracle URM is installed on Oracle Content Server with its DoD compliance features enabled, then you may not be able to
check in files by cutting and pasting them into contribution folders. This is because the DoD compliance features make the Category or Folder field required, which
means an item cannot be checked in if this field is empty. Since cutting and pasting a file into a contribution folder often does not require any further user
intervention, the check-in cannot complete successfully unless the content server administrator configured Oracle URM to enable such check-ins.
Working With Content Folders and Files 8-33
Moving Multiple Items You can select multiple items folders or files or a combination of both using the
standard methods in Windows and move them all at the same time. If multiple files are to be checked in to the content server as a result of the move action, a dialog may
be displayed where you can provide metadata for the files before checking them in. This happens if the target server is an Oracle Content Server 11g instance and
metadata prompting has been enabled for the folder. You are also prompted for metadata if any required metadata is missing. For more information, see
Section A.13, Check In Content Dialog Metadata Prompt.
Move Sources and Targets You can move items from unmanaged locations to a content server or between folders
on the same server; you cannot move content items from a server to somewhere else outside of that server.
When you move a file from an unmanaged location for example, a folder on your local computer outside the integration hierarchy or a shared network location to a
content folder on a server in the integration hierarchy, then this file is checked in to that server. This turns the file into a managed content item on the server and makes it
accessible to other users on that server. Depending on how the content server is set up, you may be prompted to provide metadata for the copied file before it is checked in.
If you move a folder, then all files in that folder including subfolders are checked in to the server as separate content items with their own content IDs. The folder is
included in the integration hierarchy for everyone with the appropriate access privileges to see.
