Documentum filestore

ronni

Hello,

We had set our Documentum 6.6 Filestore to read only and created a new one. The new filestore we had set to the default store. Now we try to create renditions of documents located in the old (read only) filestore.

In this case we get an error message: Could not write to storage object store_01. Storage is marked Read-Only.

Did we missconfigured something or is Documentum always put a rendition to the same filestore ??

Could i change this behavior ?

THANKS

best regards,

Ronni

This is from the Content Server Admin Guide:

This algorithm examines three properties:
• a_storage_type for dm_sysobject
• default_storage for the object’s format
• default_storage for the object’s object type

The a_storage_type property is defined for dm_sysobject and inherited by all its
subtypes. Typically, a_storage_type is set if you want to store an object of a particular
type in a location that is different from the default area for its content format or object
type. You must set this property for an object before you save the object for the first time.

The default_storage property of a format object identifies a storage area by the storage
area’s object ID. By default, only the jpeg_th and jpeg_story format objects have a value
in the default_storage property. For those formats, the property is set to the object ID
of the thumbnail storage area. (You must have Documentum Media Transformation
Services installed to create and use thumbnails.) If you want to store content files in
locations specific to the file formats, set the default_storage property of the associated
format objects before saving objects with content files in those formats.

The default storage area for an object type is defined in the default_storage property of
the dmi_type_info object for the object type. The Content Server installation procedure
sets the default_storage property for the SysObject type to the filestore_01 storage area.
The value is inherited by all SysObject subtypes. You can change the default using the
DQL ALTER TYPE statement.

By setting (or not setting) these three properties appropriately, you can direct content to
desired storage areas when using the default storage algorithm. For example, suppose
you want all dm_documents except those in XML format to go to Storage_1 and you
want the XML documents to go to Storage_2. To obtain this behavior, you set the default
storage for the dm_document object type to Storage_1 and default storage for the XML
format to Storage_2.

So if you want to change the location of the rendition, you need to "set the default_storage property of the associated
format objects before saving objects with content files in those formats."
