About

This article is about the tia core proxy functionality.

Content

Introduction

In contrast to the OSGi plugin, tia Proxy is a real archive link protocol proxy. It is embeeded in tia embedded in tia core, proxies the archive link request and connects to content store backends.

The proxy plugin is used when a customer had a kgs classic content server in the past or uses a classic content server in parallel.

tia core is able to interact with storages formerly configured for kgs classic content server.

Let's outline the following scenario:

Historically, the customer has used a kgs Classic ContentServer in conjunction with a filesystem storage.

By switching to the latest kgs architecture "tia Core - saphttp", the new integrated proxy service has a decisive advantage.
The historical storage configuration of the former “kgsstore” is still used, which means that no data migration has to take place. At the same time, you address your new storage device (S3, Azure etc.) via tia Core.

It is also possible to access historical ArchiveLink documents via the new proxy service using the newly propagated CMIS interface.

A typical proxy scenario is designed in the picture above. The customer uses the tia Core CMIS interface, the proxy configuration uses e.g azure blob storage as primary and kgs store as secondary storage type.

That means you archive your data via the CMIS Interface in your new storage as your primary device and access legacy data (read only) via secondary and kgs store.

Availability

Please make sure you are using at least tia core version 2.4.2.

Configuration

The configuration is done within the already known repository.cfg

The content server type is now proxy.

Please keep in mind that for this configuration you need to setup the meta services.

Pay attention to the secondary meta type!

For performance reasons you van try to set usefallback = false, but then it can lead to documents that are no longer found. Examples are documents that are decoded only once (on storage like data%37), documents that contains a plus (a+b.pdf is stored as a b.pdf) or documents with wrong encoding (stored like � � �+�.pdf)

Configuration example - repository.cfg

# the repository list for the default repositoryfactory.class
repositoryfactory.repositorylist = T1
