The OpenText Content Server connector in SkySync DryvIQ allows you to analyze, migrate, copy, and synchronize files to your OpenText enterprise content management solution from cloud storage repositories and on-premise network file shares. The first step is to create the OpenText Content Server connection by providing the connection information required for SkySync DryvIQ to connect to the server. The connector can be created using any OpenText user account with permissions to access the content.

Features and Limitations

Platforms all have unique features and limitations. SkySync’s DryvIQ’s transfer engine manages these differences between platforms and allows you to configure actions based on Job Policies and Behaviors. The information below is platform specific. Use the Platform Comparison tool to see how your integration platforms may interact regarding features and limitations. 

Email Folders

OpenText supports email folders (subtype 751). SkySync DryvIQ cannot see the email folders and therefore, will not migrate content in these folders.

Invalid Characters and Spaces

SkySync DryvIQ verifies file and folder names to identify unsupported characters based on the platform. It then replaces invalid characters with an underscore (_) so the files and folders can be transferred. Similarly, SkySync DryvIQ will sanitize file names that contain combined Unicode characters by replacing the characters with an underscore (_).

The logic includes leading and trailing spaces in file and folder names. SkySync DryvIQ replaces the space rather than trimming it because trimming the space could cause duplicate file names. Adding the underscore ensures the name remains unique.
