Configuring a shared file content workspace

You can configure a directory as a shared content workspace using SkyVault-global.properties.
Ensure that you have installed the required external and internal software. See Prerequisites for using Media Management and Installing Media Management for more information.
  1. Stop the SkyVault server.
  2. Edit your SkyVault-global.properties file to specify your source and target content workspace type, and the location of your source and target directories; for example: 

    content.remote.default.contentRefHandler.source.type=file 
content.remote.default.contentRefHandler.source.file.dir=
content.remote.default.contentRefHandler.target.type=file
content.remote.default.contentRefHandler.target.file.dir=

    A sample SkyVault-global.properties file is shipped in the root folder of the Media Management distribution zip, which defines custom properties. See Configuring Media Management for the full list.

  3. Update your remote-node/config.yml file that you extracted from the Media Management installation zip with your shared content workspace properties: 

    transform:
    contentReferenceHandler:
        source:
            type: file
            file:
                path: /tmp/AlfrescoContentServices
        target:
            type: file
            file:
                path: /tmp/AlfrescoContentServices

    You can use the same mounted network volume directory (for example, NFS) for both the SkyVault repository (configured using content.remote.default.contentRefHandler.* properties) and the remote node.

    The content services node uses ImageMagick and FFmpeg and requires that the executable directories are available on the system PATH variable or are specified in SkyVault-global.properties. See Configuring Media Management for more information on SkyVault-global.properties settings.

    For more information about the content services framework, see Content services node architecture.

  4. Start your SkyVault server to apply the changes.
