Copying network locations

To save time retyping existing information, you can copy a network location file using the Save As option. To copy a network location, you must be connected to the repository known to DFC on the Documentum Administrator host as a global registry and you must be logged in as a user with superuser privileges.

To copy a network location:

  1. Connect with superuser privileges to the global registry repository.

  2. Select Administration > Distributed Content Configuration > Network Locations.

    The Network Locations page appears.

    Note

    Click Global Registry Login and connect to the correct repository if you see the following warning message instead of the Network Locations list page:

    Network locations can only be created in repositories that are designated as global registries. The current repository is not a global registry. Click the link below to log in to the global registry repository known to DFC on the Documentum Administrator host. You must have superuser privileges to create network locations.

  3. Select a network location and then select File > Save As.

    The Network Location Properties page appears. The fields display the values copied from the selected network location; however, the Network Location Identifier and Network Location Name fields display Copy [x] of [name]/[display name] to keep the network location and display names unique.

  4. Modify the properties on Info tab of the Network Location Properties page.

  5. Click OK to save the changes or Cancel to exit without saving.
