Working with the SkyVault EMC Centera Connector module

Test that the SkyVault EMC Centera Connector module is working correctly with SkyVault.
  1. Enable DEBUG logging for the Centera components.

    For example:

    log4j.logger.org.alfresco.enterprise.repo.content.centera=DEBUG
    log4j.logger.org.alfresco.enterprise.repo.centera=DEBUG
  2. Add the xam:archived aspect to the share-config-custom.xml file.

    For example:

    <alfresco-config>
    
       <config evaluator="node-type" condition="cm:content">
    
          <forms>
             <form>
                <!-- 2 column template -->
    
                <edit-form />
     
                <field-visibility>
    
                <!-- aspect: cm:storeSelector -->
    
                <show id="cm:storeName" />
    
                <!-- aspect: xam:archive -->
                <show id="xam:dateArchived" for-mode="view" />
                <show id="xam:retainUntil" for-mode="view" />
                <show id="cm:content" for-mode="view" />
                </field-visibility>
    
                <appearance>
                   <!-- Store Selector -->
                   <field id="cm:storeName" label="Store Name" description="Content Store Name" />
                   <set id="xam-archive" appearance="bordered-panel" label="XAM Archived" />
                   <field id="xam:dateArchived" label="XAM Date Archived" set="xam-archive" />
                   <field id="xam:retainUntil" label="XAM Retain Until Date" set="xam-archive" />
                </appearance>
             </form>
          </forms>
       </config>
    
    <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary">
       <aspects>
             <visible>
                <aspect name="xam:archive" label="XAM Archive" />
             </visible>
       </aspects>
    </config>
    </alfresco-config>
  3. View the metadata for the document.

    The new store is shown as xamArchive and the retainedUntil date is set.

  4. Copy the ClipID, and then open the C-Clip using the JCASScript tool.

    For example:

    CASScript>clipopen EQM2GC012MC77e72B24N2MMFU59G418ACSAIE70BAS340TN3E1JJL
    
    Clip Properties:
    
      Name:                untitled
      Creation Date:       2013.11.27 01:35:09 GMT
      Size:                13474
      Number of Tags:      1
      Number of Blobs:     1

      Modified:            False
      EBR Enabled :        False
      Retention Hold:      False
    1. Check that the retention period was set.

    2. Check that the node and application properties have been copied over.

      Select the first tag of the opened C-Clip. For example:

      CASScript>tagfirst
      
      CASTag Properties:
      
       Name:                com.alfresco.content
       Has Blob:            True
       Blob Size:           13474

       Has Parent:          False
       Has Next Sibling:    False
       Has Child:           False

      Display all the attributes. For example:

      CASScript>tagattribs
      
      Number of attributes: 10

    3. Type tagClose to close curent tag.
    4. Type clipClose to close current C-Clip.
    5. Type poolClose to close current connection to the EMC Centera pool.
  5. Test the folder hierarchy.
    1. Create a folder containing several files and folders,
    2. Apply the xam:archived aspect to the top-level folder.
    3. Check that the aspect has been applied to the entire hierarchy.
    4. Choose one of the files in the hierarchy and check through for a single file from step 1.
