n= counter starting with 1 xx=SAP Repository ID yyyy= SAP Component-ID

(If yyyy isn't specified, the attributes are valid for all Components)

Attribute namens with special functionality (see EMC SDK): RetentionPeriod -> in Month (will be converted to seconds for EMC Centera) must be set with this parameter. e.g. CompClip-DescA_1-O1 = RetentionPeriod,10

n= counter starting with 1 xx=SAP Repository ID yyyy= SAP Component-ID

Additional Information

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

Every "document clip" contains all references to the "component Clip's".

None of the Clips may have a tag with a BLOB (datafile). All ClipIDs of corresponding components may be stored in the attributes tags.

CLIP-Name = SAP-ArchiveLink-Document.

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.
