You work with content managed on a content server in much the same way you do with other folders and files on your computer. You can copy files, drag and drop files
into folders, right-click objects to open context menus see Section 6.7, Context
Menus , and so on. However, some tasks typically performed on files or folders on
your local computer may have a somewhat different effect when performed on files and folders managed by a content server. For example, copying a file or saving an
e-mail message to a contribution folder does not put it on your local computer, but rather uploads and saves it on the content server. In addition, the context menus of
files may include items specific to content management, such as Check In, Check Out, Copy Links, and so on. For more information, see
Chapter 8, Working With Content Folders and Files.
The user logins and security controls on a content server also apply to files and folders that are managed through the integration hierarchy. For example, if you have only
read permission for a content item, you will be able to open a copy of the native file, but you will not be able to check a new revision of the file in to the content server
which requires write permission. Similarly, when you create a new folder in the folder hierarchy on the server, each person who has the rights to view that folder will
see it on their local computer. The files you add to the folder will also be available to each user on the content server, again according to their security permissions.
6.2 Top-Level Node Oracle Content Servers
The top-level node in the integration hierarchy is always called Oracle Content Servers. You cannot modify its name, nor can you delete this node. You may need to
enable its display in your e-mail application as it is not displayed by default see Section 5.6, Showing or Hiding the Oracle Content Servers Hierarchy
.
Understanding the Integration Hierarchy 6-3
Figure 6–2 Oracle Content Servers in Integration Hierarchy Windows Explorer
Content Pane With the top-level Oracle Content Servers node in the integration hierarchy selected,
the content pane shows all defined content server connections. How this information is displayed depends on the current view mode see
Section 3.5, Content Pane View Modes
. The icon of each server denotes its type see Section 7.2, Content Server
Types .
Preview Pane If a server is selected in the content pane, the preview pane shows the URL of the
selected server connection, as well as general help information about working with content servers. If you do not see the preview pane, you may enable it see
Section 6.8, Showing or Hiding the Preview Pane
.
6.3 Content Server Nodes
The content server nodes are immediately below the top-level Oracle Content Servers node in the integration hierarchy. They represent the defined server connections. You
can select a content server to connect and log in to that server. Depending on the configuration and current login status, you may be prompted to provide your login
credentials for that server that is, your user name and password.
The display name of each server in the integration hierarchy is the name as provided in the Add Server dialog when the server connection was created see
Section A.1, Add Server Dialog
. The icon in front of each server in the integration hierarchy denotes its type see
Section 7.2, Content Server Types .

Content Pane With a content server node in the integration hierarchy selected, the content pane
shows all main nodes and folders for that server. The available server nodes and folders depend on the server type:
