Role of WCM Libraries

Logical partitions for WCM content and components that can be Syndicated, Secured, and Managed independently

of one another.

WCM Library Syndication Control We’ll cover “Syndication and Libraries” in more depth in

another lunch byte. Libraries can help you manage WHAT gets syndicated, WHEN

items are syndicated, and WHERE they go in the syndication flow.

Role-based access (security)

Define the access of a user or group for a library to determine – Who has access to a library– Who has access to the different /items in the authoring portlet

• Authoring Templates, Components, Content, Presentation Templates, Sites and site areas, Taxonomy, Workflow and workflow elements

Library version management

You can restore a set of items within a library that either have the same label or were versioned at, or before, a specified date and time.

Labels let you “tag” the most recent versions of all items in a library.

WCM Library Capabilities

Exporting and Importing– This feature enables you to make a backup copy of a Web Content

library, and can also be used to move data between servers.– Limitations:

• Draft items are not exported. Only published items can be exported and imported.

• Saved versions of items are not exported. Only the current version of each item is exported.

• Children are only exported and imported when the parent is successfully exported and imported.

• If an item exists on the target server with the same path, name and ID, then the item is overwritten.

Disabling a Web content libraryWhen a Web content library is no longer required, you can

disable the library. Prevents the library from being accessed from an authoring

portlet. Preventing users from updating any items stored in the

library. Items referenced from this library will still be rendered.

Think of it like “freezing” a library. Nobody can work on it any more, but the content can be rendered for users.

the Web content API.– Create a library– Delete a library– Copy a library– Import a library– Export a library
