Settings

mongoConnection

The Mongo connection string including the database name to connect to.

OTCSDBConnectionString

The connection string to the OpenText CS database.

Example: mssql://USERNAME:PASSWORD@otcs.yourcompany.com:1433/otcs

OTCSDBEngine

The engine of the OpenText CS database. Currently, only MSSQL and Oracle are supported.

OTCSDBOwner

The owner of the OpenText CS database schema. Only required for Oracle databases. Example: DMS.

providerDataMapping

Specifies the mapping of the provider data. The provider data of an object contains the reference to the file on the file system. As the provider data itself only contains a relative path, the absolute path is constructed by combining the provider data with an UNC path based on the storage provider name and sub provider name.

A list of logical providers can be obtained by running the following query on the OpenText CS database:

SELECT * FROM <OTCSDBOwner>.KINI WHERE inisection = 'Livelink.LogicalProviders'

Example of provider data:

A<1,?,'providerInfo'='0000\\003\\3193.dat','storageProviderName'='ExtShared','subProviderName'='Default'>

Example of provider data mapping:

{
"ExtShared" : {
"Default" : "\\\\otcs\\data01"
}
}

pageSize

Specifies the page size number that is used when paginating.

Example: 250
