Specifying the Content Server folder or content type

You can specify the Content Server Workspace folder that you want to store your documents in. You can also specify the content type of the documents that are stored and allow Content Server to store multiple documents with the same name.

•	Changing the default content type for documents

•	Allowing multiple versions of documents in Content Server

Specifying the Content Server folder for the documents

1	On the Repositories node, right-click the ELS repository connection, and then click Document Type Mapping.

2	In the Document Types area, in the StreamServe list, click your document type.

3	On the Tools menu, click Properties.

4	Beside the Store document in Content Server folder with ID box, click browse and select the folder where you want you store the documents or enter the folder ID.

5	Restart the StreamServer application.

You can also specify the folder ID in the filter or by using metadata. Settings in the filter and metadata values override the Control Center settings in the Document Type and Metadata Mapping dialog box.

Changing the default content type for documents

The content type of a document determines which viewer Content Server uses to display the document. You can set the default content type of a document type to any of the content types that Enterprise Library supports.

Note:

If you do not set the content type, the content type of the documents is determined from the Device Driver setting in the StreamServe output connector. For example, if you use a PDF driver in your StreamServe output connector, documents are stored as PDFs in Content Server.

To change the default content type for a document type

1	On the Repositories node, right-click the ELS repository connection, and then click Document Type Mapping.

2	In the Document Types area, in the StreamServe list, click your document type.

3	On the Tools menu, click Properties.

4	In the Store documents as content type list, click the content type for the documents.

5	Restart the StreamServer application that generates the documents.

You can also specify the content type in the filter or by using metadata. Settings in the filter and metadata values override the Control Center settings in the Document Type and Metadata Mapping dialog box.

Allowing multiple versions of documents in Content Server

Unless you change the default settings, StreamServer applications cannot store multiple documents with the same name in Content Server. This means, if a StreamServe application tries to store a document with the same name as a document that already exists in Content Server, the job fails.

To allow multiple versions of a document in Content Sever

1	On the Repositories node, right-click the ELS repository connection, and then click Document Type Mapping.

2	In the Document Types area, in the StreamServe list, click your document type.

3	On the Tools menu, click Properties.

4	Select Allow multiple versions of documents in Content Server.

5	Restart the StreamServer application that generates the documents.

You can also change this setting in the filter settings or by using metadata. Settings in the filter and metadata values override the Control Center settings in the Document Type and Metadata Mapping dialog box.
