File Format for Importing Document Sequences

You can import document sequences to your application by creating separate text files containing document sequence categories, document sequences, and document sequence assignments. You can then upload these files to the Oracle WebCenter Content document repository.

Here are a few things that you need to keep in mind while creating these files:

  • Use a vertical bar or pipe ( | ) as a delimiter between fields for both the header and the value rows.
  • According to the Oracle WebCenter Content specification, set the file encoding to UTF-8 without the Byte Order Mark (BOM).
  • The first line in the file must be a header line, and the files must look exactly the same as shown in the sample file.

The following sections contain specific details about each file format.

Here's the supported file types for Document Sequence Data Loaders:

Artifact File Type
Document Sequence Data Loaders DOCUMENT_SEQUENCE_CATEGORY
DOCUMENT_SEQUENCE
DOCUMENT_SEQUENCE_ASSIGNMENT

Document Sequence Category

To create a file containing document sequence categories, include the headers specified in this table:
Header Data Type Data Size Description Required or Optional
ApplicationId Number - This value determines the application that your document sequence belongs to. Required
CategoryCode String 30 This value displays the category code associated with the document sequence type. Required
ModuleType String 60 This value displays the module type associated with the document sequence type. Required
ModuleKey String 60 This value displays the module key associated with the document sequence type. Required
TableName String 30 This value displays the name of the table. Required
CategoryName String 80 This value displays the category name associated with the document sequence type. Required
Description String 240 This value displays the description of the document sequence code. Required
