Additional Information

For each SAP document one Centera file (CLIP) will be created with all administration data required by the document container.

Content handling

The data files are saved as BLOG in the tag compdata.

If the filesize is less than the specified size in the parameter EmbeddedDataThreshold no separare BLOG will be used for storing the data.

Instead of an external BLOB file the document data will be embedded in the CDF file. This is being handled by Centera internally.
