Restrictions

XML Package Manager restrictions include:

  • Folders are not permitted as children of files.
  • There are no restrictions on depth of folder nesting.
  • Folders cannot be created or renamed when multiple parent targets are selected.
  • Renamed or new folders cannot have the same name as a pre-existing folder at the same tree level.
  • Folders cannot be created or renamed using a name inconsistent with the rules of the underlying computer file system.
  • The visual label roots of the client or server file trees. For example, My Computer or the host server cannot be selected as valid copy objects.
  • Before a paste is completed, a warning displays if the paste overwrites an existing file or folder.
  • Files are not permitted as direct children of the ... /xml/package root folder in the Server Package Viewer pane. Only folders may be pasted to this root.

    In the Client File Viewer pane, files can be pasted to the /HCIROOT/integrator/<site>/formats/xml/ directory if the client and host are installed on the same machine.

  • File system root deletion is not permitted (for example, users cannot delete a client drive designator or the .../formats/xml/ directory). The action is disabled for this selection.
  • You cannot rename file system roots. For example, you cannot rename a drive designator or the /HCIROOT/integrator/formats/xml/ directory in the Server Package Viewer pane.

    The Rename action is disabled for the /xml/package root directory in the Server Package Viewer pane.

    In the Client File Viewer pane, files can be renamed if the client and host are installed on the same machine.

  • Renaming a folder can have deleterious effects upon XML file relationships, especially when external references are present within package/folder member files. A notification and opportunity to abandon is given at each rename.
  • Security Server (advanced) package Rename requires both DELETE and WRITE permissions.
  • Security Server (advanced) requires these permissions:
    • Copy requires READ permission.
    • New package creation requires INSERT permission.
    • Other folder or sub-folder creation requires WRITE permission.
    • Cut requires READ, WRITE, INSERT, and DELETE permissions.
    • Deletion requires DELETE permission.
    • Within packages, Paste requires WRITE permission.
    • In the formats/XML/ directory at the package level, Paste requires INSERT permission.
