OpenText Content Server Information

OpenText Content Server (OpenText CS) is an enterprise content management (ECM) system designed to manage the lifecycle of an organization's content, including documents, images, videos, and other types of digital assets.

System Specifications and Terminology​

Here are some key OpenText CS terminology and concepts.

Workspace​

A workspace is a virtual area within the Content Server where users collaborate on specific projects, tasks, or initiatives. Workspaces can contain folders, documents, discussions, and other collaborative tools.

Node​

A node is a logical grouping of content within the Content Server. Nodes can represent different entities such as folders, workspaces, projects, or documents.

Folder​

A folder is a container used to organize and store documents and other content within the Content Server. Folders can be nested within each other to create a hierarchical structure.

Document​

A document refers to any digital file or content stored within the Content Server. Documents can include text files, images, videos, spreadsheets, presentations, etc.

Category​

Categories are used to classify and categorize content within the Content Server. They help organize content based on attributes (metadata fields) such as document type, project, department, etc.

OpenText CS REST API​

The OpenText CS REST API has several endpoints which can be used to perform CRUD operations in OpenText CS.

Migration pitfalls​

The migration pitfalls are related to the OpenText CS features.

Case Sensitivity​

OpenText CS, by default, is case-insensitive when it comes to folder and file names. This means that OpenText CS treats uppercase and lowercase characters as the same. For example, "Document.docx" and "document.docx" will refer to the same file.

Versions with Different Extensions​

OpenText CS allows file versions to have different extensions. When migrating to a system that does not support this, this will have to be dealt with.
