xSuite Archive Prism User Guide

The "ContentServer" configuration node

The xSuite Archive Prism content server runs as a web service and is set up during program setup. To set up a content repository in SAP, first create an archive. The archive must be located directly under /Archives.

In the configuration database, configuration for the interface can be found under the configuration node /ContentServer. There are two sub-nodes available there:

  • /Config: The default configuration is stored here.

  • /Custom: Various configurations can be stored here (e.g., to operate the interface in test mode or production mode and/or to enable clean separation of tenant data). This also enables the operation of different SAP systems with one xSuite archive server.

    If configuration data is not available under /Custom, the standard configuration from /Config will be used.

The /Config and /Custom sub-nodes have the following properties:

Property

Type

Description

SecKeyNeededForUpdateMode

Signature required for creating

SecKeyNeededForReadMode

DeletePreviousVersion

Yes/No

When a document is updated, the previous version will automatically be deleted.

TiffConversion

Yes/No

If this property is activated, the content server will convert a document containing TIFF images into a single PDF document each time it is loaded. This process is independent of whether the images are multi-page TIFF files or single-page TIFF files.

Notice

Activate these properties for migrated legacy archives to create PDF files instead of TIFF files.

Tenant

Text

Tenant in which the archives are stored

StorageParentPath

Text

Superordinate archive

By default, this field is empty and the root node (/Archives) is used.

Notice

You can create an archive (e.g., SAP or SAP_SERVER_1) that serves as a superordinate archive. If you operate different SAP systems with one archive server, this is mandatory. Otherwise, repositories with the same name will be mapped in the SAP systems with the same archives.

Certificate

Text

Name of a certificate

A configuration can be bound to a certificate (i.e., this configuration can only be accessed with this certificate). This is to avoid confusion. Specify the certificate name in this property. This setting should be made after the certificate has been published.

Syntax: {number}{unit}

The following units are available:

  • M = minutes

  • h = hours

  • d = days

  • m = months

  • y = years

Default value: 10d (10 days)

MaxIndexingRetries

Number

Maximum number of re-indexing attempts if no index data was found
