Avoid storing files on default contentstore when using an alternate contentstore

fmstasi — Tue, 09 Dec 2014 12:45:09 GMT

I am using Alfresco Enterprise 4.2.2, and I have an issue with Content Store Selector. I asked the question to support, and they told me they have no issue with crossposting to the forums, so I am doing it now; to my advantage I may get faster response time, and to public advantage we may get a new

Hi,

To change the default store to your alternate store say storeA.

Change the defaultStoreName property value to StoreA in content-store-selector-context.xml as follows and Restart the server. Now, StoreA has become default store to all contents.


<bean id="storeSelectorContentStore" parent="storeSelectorContentStoreBase">
       <property name="defaultStoreName">
            <value>storeA</value>
       </property>
       <property name="storesByName">
           <map>
               <entry key="default">
                   <ref bean="fileContentStore" />
               </entry>
               <entry key="storeA">
                   <ref bean="firstSharedFileContentStore" />
               </entry>
               <entry key="storeB">
                   <ref bean="secondSharedFileContentStore" />
               </entry>
          </map>
       </property>
   </bean>

Hope this helps.

Cheers..

Thank you Deepak, but I knew that. As I said, inverting the store is the only solution i have so far, but I'd rather not use it, since it would involve a lot of unnecessary I/O; of course, if I have no other solution, I will be forced to use such a configuration.

Ok, we found it.

The problem is that a rule adds the storeSelector aspect and the storeName attribute after the content has been added; it is then correctly moved, but an orphaned content remains on the original store.

The solution is to add a behaviour which adds the aspect and the attribute on node creation; since the content is added after the node has been created, it is then directly written to the correct store.

I hope somebody else will benefit from our experience 🙂

Many thanks to David Ciamberlano, also present on the forum, who worked with me on this issue and after some brainstorming had the idea which solved the problem.

I am running out of space on my original store, so I'm trying to add a new default for my new docs. I followed the examples to add a new file share from http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/concepts/store-manage-content.html. but when I add a new document via Share or Explore the physical location of the .bin file is still on my original file share. Nothing is being added to the new location. Note that I tried with version 4.2.4 and 4.1.8 with the same results.

In the example, <property name="defaultStoreName"> <value>store2</value> is being used. Should the value be quoted? I tried it both ways and neither work, so I'm just guessing at this point.
