The WebDAV URL typically has the following form: Oracle WebCenter Content Server instances require both a WebDAV URL and CGI URL. You cannot have two server connections on your computer that use the exact same WebDAV URL.
Please note that each defined content server connection must have its own, unique WebDAV URL. When creating a content server connection, you must provide the WebDAV URL for that server, and possibly its CGI URL (for Oracle WebCenter Content Server instances). If any required metadata is missing, the check-in operation will fail if no default folder metadata has been defined.
If any required metadata is missing, you may be prompted to provide it depending on the configuration settings for the folder.

You can open files directly from the server and save files to it, but you cannot search for files on the server using the Desktop client software. (Please note that the WebDAV DeltaV extension is not supported.) These servers offer some content management integration. WebDAV Server: This is a server that is not an Oracle WebCenter Content Server or Oracle Content Database server which supports the standardized Web Distributed Authoring And Versioning (WebDAV) enhancements to the HTTP protocol. These servers offer some content management integration. This server type was called 'UCM Content Server' in earlier Desktop releases.Ĭontent DB Server: This is an Oracle Content Database (Oracle Content DB) server. WebCenter Content Server: This is an Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance, which offers the broadest content management integration: opening files directly from the server (check-out), saving files to the server (check-in), file versioning, searching for files on the server, comparing Word documents on the server, and so on. The Desktop client can connect to these types of servers:
Also, when you uninstall the Desktop client software from your computer and reinstall it (for example, to upgrade to a newer version), all previously configured server connections will continue to be available after you reinstall the software. The server settings are stored on your own computer no other users are affected. If you add or remove a server connection, or change its display name, this only affects your own computer. Once you have defined a server connection, you can begin working with that server based on your server permissions. When you create a new server connection, that connection will be available to all supported applications on your computer that you use to interact with the content server. You only need to define a server connection once. You can define server connections in any of the integrated applications (Windows Explorer, Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Outlook, or Lotus Notes). Before you can integrate content management features into your desktop experience, you must establish a connection with a server, so you can access the files on it.
