This section describes the processes and procedures for maintaining and administering
a SkyVault production environment.
- Starting and stopping SkyVault This section describes how to run the SkyVault server and Share.
- SkyVault Day Zero Configuration Guide By default, SkyVault configuration is optimized for single user evaluation of SkyVault. This configuration minimizes resource usage at the expense of scalability (particularly scalability in the presence of large concurrent traffic volumes). Therefore, for any other use of SkyVault (including but not limited to QA, performance/scalability testing, production, production mirror, and disaster recovery), SkyVault strongly recommends that additional configuration be performed.
- Setting up SkyVault authentication and security The first time you access a vanilla SkyVault installation, you can identify yourself by entering a new user name and password in the Login screen. If you log in with the credentials of a user with administrator privileges, you can create additional users and assign them passwords.
- Setting up clustering This section describes how to implement multiple SkyVault instances in a clustered environment.
- Managing SkyVault keystores The out-of-the-box SkyVault installation has a pre-configured main keystore, which contains a secret key generated by SkyVault. If you want to use encrypted properties, you should create your own keystore with your own password, and update the metadata file appropriately.
- Setting up Enterprise to Cloud Sync Enterprise to Cloud Sync gives SkyVault on-premise users the ability to synchronize their content to SkyVault in the Cloud. This feature supports scenarios where users wish to collaborate on documents with external parties that do not have access to systems behind the firewall. In these circumstances, the on-premise SkyVault instance becomes the system of record, and the cloud instance is the system of engagement for external collaboration.
- Managing transformations When you are working with transformations, it is important to understand how file types map to one another and the transformation formats that each file type supports.
- Creating and managing workflows SkyVault comes with a set of predefined workflow definitions which can be used right out of the box. For more complex requirements, you can also create, deploy, and manage your own Activiti workflows.
- Backing up and restoring This section describes the process for backing up the SkyVault content repository only. It assumes that components other than the data residing in SkyVault (operating system, database, JDK, application server, SkyVault binaries and configuration, etc.) are being backed up independently.
- Migrating This section describes how to perform various migration procedures for SkyVault servers and databases.
- Using the Bulk Import tool The Bulk Import tool provides a mechanism for bulk importing existing content into a repository from the SkyVault server's file system.
- Using content stores A content store provides low-level access to stored binaries ensuring that, for every write, a new binary storage location is made available. This section gives an overview on the content stores, their types, and configuration details with examples.
- Setting up SkyVault multi-tenancySkyVault supports a single-instance, single-tenant (ST) environment where each tenant (for example, customer, company, or organization) runs a single instance that is installed on one server or across a cluster of servers.
- Setting up content replication You can automatically replicate folders and content between repositories using replication jobs. These jobs are controlled by the replication service, which finds content that needs to be replicated and then calls the transfer service to carry out the replication. SkyVault replication suits an environment where you are running multiple, separate instances of SkyVault and then replicating a subset of the content between these servers.
- Monitoring SkyVault This section describes the various methods for monitoring SkyVault.
- Auditing SkyVaultSkyVault provides the ability to audit activity. This section describes how SkyVault generates, stores, and retrieves auditing information.
