Changing document storage provider during runtime 1

[smallredville]

Hi ALL,

How can we change the storage provider of the document to other storage provider during runtime?

So you have two storage providers and you wish to move it between them.I would imagine if the business rule to use the alaternate provider was met it would follow the same thing.Or is it something like you ahve content in some old share and you want to move it to a low cost storage something like that.Let the forum know some claer requirements...

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

thanks for the reply.

Basically as what u mentioned, we have 2 storage provider. The storage is based on the attribute values during document creation. We would like to automatic move the document to other storage provider based on the changed attribute value.

Thanks in advanced.

it is still unclear to me so I will ask again.
I add documentA there are no rules so default storageproviderA is used.StorageproviderB is used if documentB has categoryB attached to it.If I create documentB thru the webgui and pick categoryB as the category on document addition I will see that my document nows sits in storageproviderB.Are you saying if you programmatically do this this is not happening.

OR
You are trying to programmatically change the location of the provider something like objid 195234 on version 5 is sitting is storageproviderA.You wish that to move to storageproviderB.

If that is indeed the case you are trying to achive then look at what the "ContentMove" module does in livelink.I means you can trace the code or something like that.I am not sure if you can "pick" a storage provider on node creation.I would think that it would be the business rule that is the driver here...

You can't pick the Storage Provider that is used on Node creation, but you can use Storage Rules to define which provider is used based on things such as Size, Attributes etc - this can be configured on the Admin pages in the Storage Providers section its called Storage Rules.

Thanks for the reply.

My case is your 2 second scenario.

I will try to look at the "ContentMove' module.

Thank you very much.

that clearly is contentmove which is the method OT uses waterfalling data that is data starts out at expensive SAN/NAS as as time progresees it gets sent to cheaper storages.I used the same methodology on a filenet data ingestion project with OI.I created a storage provider using cheaper disks and called in 'FileNetOnly'.On each OI instruction node I put a category called 'FileNetFed'.When the OI started processing files it met the condition and content was placed in cheaper storage.Note this was data on creation.You are looking at moving existing data off one EFS to a second EFS.that is excatly what the contentmove is capable off .It probably will force you to use a archive or LEA I am not sure.
