Oxygen Integration

The Oxygen integration enables you to navigate, view, and edit resources in both Heretto Content Editor and Oxygen XML. Heretto provides a plugin that you install to enable the Oxygen integration.

Supported Oxygen Products

You can integrate Heretto CCMS with the following Oxygen products:

Oxygen XML Author
Oxygen XML Editor

For information about the specific supported Oxygen versions, refer to https://github.com/Jorsek/oxygenxml-webdav/releases.

Operation

The Oxygen plugin keeps your resources in sync while you work in each system. When you have a resource that is open in one system, a lock icon appears in the other system to prevent others from editing it. Once you close the resource, the lock is removed and other users can access the resource again.

The Oxygen plugin uses the WebDAV protocol to communicate between Heretto CCMS and Oxygen.

Integrate Heretto CCMS and Oxygen

You integrate Heretto CCMS with Oxygen by establishing a connection through the WebDAV protocol and installing the appropriate Oxygen plugin.

Connect Oxygen with Heretto CCMS

Oxygen uses the WebDAV protocol to connect with Heretto CCMS.

If you use a Single-Sign On (SSO) solution to log on to your Heretto CCMS instance, generate a token for use in the password field. See Generate and Invalidate a Token.

In Oxygen, click Window > Show View > Data Source Explorer.

Figure 1. Data Source Explorer Pane
In the Data Source Explorer pane, click .

Figure 2. Preferences Window
Under Connections, click +.
The Connection pop-up screen opens.

Complete the following fields:


Field	Field Entry	Example
Name	A meaningful name to identify this connection	`Heretto Production Server`
WebDAV	Your Heretto CCMS repository URL	`https://companyName.heretto.com/webdav/db/organizations/companyName/repositories`

Password	Your Heretto CCMS password or, for SSO users, your generated token	`password`

Click OK to close the Connection window.
Click OK again to close the Data Resource Explorer window.

You can now access your Heretto CCMS resources in Oxygen. Use the Data Source Explorer pane to navigate the folders.

Generate and Invalidate a Token

You can generate a token and use it instead of your actual password for CURL requests or for establishing a WebDAV connection.

In a web-browser, navigate to https://your_organization.heretto.com/tools/token-management/tokens.xql
Where: your_organization is the name of your Heretto CCMS organization.
Note: If you want to generate a token for an organization that uses the old domain, for example, your-organization.easydita.com, use https://your_organization.easydita.com/tools/token-management/tokens.xql.
Fill-in the Token name field.
Click create token.
Copy the login and password (token) information and keep it in a secure place.

Your token is now active. You can use it for CURL requests or to establish a WebDAV connection.

Optional: To invalidate a token, complete 1 and click invalidate. Once your token is invalidated, your CURL requests and WebDAV connection will fail.
