WebCenter Content is a SOA-based application. Actions (such as checkin, checkout, search, etc.) can be triggered by calling services. This blog post lists some example SOAP requests and related information.

Scripts

• Checkout
• Checkin
• Delete content item
• Add folder (folders_g)
• Delete folder (folders_g)

URLs

• WSDL: https://host/idcws/GenericSoapPort?Wsdl
• Endpoint: https://host/idcws/GenericSoapPort

Metadata

• dDocName
  • the uniquely generated ID for a content item (including all revisions)
• dID
  • the uniquely generated ID for an individual revision
• dCreateDate / dDocCreatedDate / dInDate
  • the date an individual revision was created/checked-in
• Example date format
  • 4/2/13 11:16 AM
• Example Groups format (xClbraAliasList)
  • @Accounting(R),@Executive(RWD),@Legal(RW),@IT(R)
• Example Users format (xClbraUserList)
  • &jhult(R),&hsimpson(RW),&pgriffin(RWD)

Notes

• A content item must always be checked-out before a check-in can occur
• Revisions should be checked-in in the proper order starting with the oldest revision first and ending with the latest revision
• If a service call returns a StatusCode, this means that something did not go correctly and there is an issue that needs to be examined
