using different Content Stores for documents and renditions

[p_kerspe]

We are running Alfresco Community - v3.4.0 (b 3262) (in Mult Tenancy mode) and need to store all documents in a WORM medium. So the Content Store will be configured to use a mapped network share on the WORM storage.
Since the space on the WORM is limited and expensive, only the Documents should be stored but NOT the renditions (and other files generated by Alfresco).
We saw that Alfresco always stores the renditions in the same content store as the original document, but we need to find a way to seperate Documents and renditions into two different content stores.

We got pointed to these links:
Content Store Selector:  http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Store_Selector
Content Store configuration: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Store_Configuration

But it is only described how to use different content Stores for Documents in general, but not how to store Documents and the generated renditions into two different content stores.

Any idea how to solve the issue with separation of the two types of files into separate stores?

Best regards
Paul

Hello,

the Content Store Selector would be one way to do this, but it is only available in the Enterprise version of Alfresco. With it, you could define a behavior that automatically assigns the ContentStoreSelector aspect to renditions with the name of the alternative store to use and Alfresco would use that store to persist the content.

In Alfresco Community you are basically forced to reimplement the functionality provided by the Content Store Selector with a own ContentStore.
