Configuration (Store) - EMC CENTERA (1)

[COMMON SETTINGS]

In order to use EMC CENTERA without a database, please set in [COMMON SETTINGS] section the parameter StorageType = 1.

[EMC CENTERA]

Parameter

Value

Description

Defaults

ArchPath



Path for Filesystemindex for storing Center Clip-IDs

(One Clip-ID for each SAP-document).



CenteraPoolAddress

List of Centera-IP-Addresses

The pool addresses can be a comma-separated string of IP-addresses or DNS names of available Centera-nodes.

This example specifies a connection string with multiple IP-addresses which is a best practice that protects against the unavailability of one or more nodes within the cluster.

10.1.1.1,21.17.3.12,16.123.121.90

This example opens a pool using the specified PEA-file.

10.62.153?C:\EMC\RWE.pea

(Please confirm Centera documentation for details)

You can define one pool address per Repository ID by using Key "CenteraPoolAddress_xx" (xx = Repository-ID).



CompClip-DescA_n-xx-yyyy

Syntax: AttributeName,AttributValue





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



DocClip-DescA_n-xx

Syntax: AttributeName,AttributValue



Attribute names with special functionality (see EMC SDK)

Optional

n= counter starting with 1 xx=SAP Repository ID



EmbeddedDataThreshold

Integer

The maximum data size in bytes for data to be embedded in the CDF instead of being stored as separate blobs.

Max. value: 102400

102400

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.
