Hi All,
Can you please let me know how to achieve archiving the documents into a third party storage device via doucmentum. Sharing any kind of input and documentation will be appreciated.
Cheers,
Sri
As long as you can create a mounted drive that the content server can see, you can create a new filestore and run the MIGRATE_CONTENT job to archive docs to that new filestore.
First of all, what is your understanding of "archive"? From your post i get the impression that you mean to move the content from the file system to some othe media (like DVD or some other WORM device).
If the media can be accessed as as file system, see at the previous post. If you need to access the media in a special way (e.g. by some third-party API), you can create a plugin for an external store. But as a warning, that is not an easy task to undertake. You have to know the Content Server and its architecture quiet well. And you have to know the limitations of such a plugin and its use within Documentum as well as the third-party API.
Maybe you can tell us which system you want to use. Maybe there are already some connectors available for your purpose (e.g. EMC Centera and NetApp Snaplock can be connected with plugins available from EMC).
Thanks for your responses guys. The file store would be IBM Tivoli storage manager. I am not aware of the integration part?
Are you using the backup/archive module or the HSM?
If you use HSM you can treat the staging area of it like any other file system, the HSM will take care about the restore if the file was moved. If you used the archive module to move the files to an other media, you have to "teach" the content server to retrieve it from there. You could try to implement a external storage plugin. I haven't done this for Tivoli and I am not aware of a existing implementation. Maybe someone else has done this and can give you directions.
Thanks Hartmut.
