Defining Content Categories |
This transaction allows you to change content categories for physical documents, and to create new ones.
Content categories identify logical storage locations. On the physical level, each content category is assigned to a content repository (see also
Content Repositories). You specify the physical storage location for documents by specifying content repositories.SAP provides at least one content category for individual applications. You can also create your own additional content categories.
Once your system has gone live, you should generally not make any changes to existing entries. This is because a document is identified by its ID and the category. Categories are mapped to the corresponding content repositories at runtime. If any changes are made after this point, the mapping is no longer valid and existing documents may no longer be accessible.
However, changes may sometimes be necessary; for example, if a repository or a content server is transferred in its entirety to a different computer.
When a document is created, the system always evaluates the category that is initially specified. If no category is specified when a document is created, the class default is used. If no class default is available, the previous version is used.
When the document is checked in, the data defined as part of the distribution is evaluated.
