Using the Node Browser

Use Node Browser in the Admin Console or in Share Admin Tools as an debugging aid to browse the raw SkyVault repository structure. This feature is intended for developers responsible for customizing the application.
This is a read-only feature with basic search capability.
  1. Open the Admin Console.
  2. In the Support Tools section, click Node Browser. You see the Node Browser Console page.
  3. In the Store section, select the store of interest:

    • user://alfrescoUserStore
    • system://system
    • workspace://lightWeightVersionStore
    • workspace://version2Store
    • archive://SpacesStore
    • workspace://SpacesStore

    Each store is an area of the repository and within each store, the nodes of that store are organized hierarchically. The node displayed is the root node of the selected store.

  4. Click Root List.

    The Node Browser page displays details of the properties, aspects, children, parents, associations, source associations, and permissions for the selected node.

  5. Search the selected store, as needed:
    1. Select the search type: noderef, fts-SkyVault, lucene, xpath, selectnodes, cmis-strict, cmis-SkyVault, db-afts, db-cmis.
    2. Enter the search criteria in the field provided.
    3. Click Execute.
