Features of the FileNet CS System Administration Tools
Features of FileNet CS System Admin Tools 5.4

Bulk Modify Admin Tool

The Bulk Modify Admin tool allows you to make substantial changes to multiple objects simultaneously. You use the Bulk Modify Admin tool to:

•	Change the values of various properties of CS objects.

•	Schedule bulk modifications to run during off-peak hours.

When compared to the multi-modify functionality in the CS Find application, the Bulk Modify Admin tool provides:

•	Performance enhancements.

•	Overcomes the limitation of modifying only 1000 objects at a time.

Replication Recovery

Replication Recovery utility augments the current backup/recovery strategy of replicating CS libraries. In case of a library crash, it allows the administrator to recover replicated data on the crashed library from a known library in the same administrative replication domain.

The Replication Recovery utility compares the replicating objects on the restored library system with a specified library system in administrative replication domain to identify the discrepancies. It then fixes these discrepancies to recover the restored library system and synchronize it with the current state of other member libraries participating in the administrative replication domain.

Automatic Management of Storage Repositories

Automatic Management of Storage Repositories brings automation to CS administration, leading to more effective disk space management and better performance. Administrators can now specify a threshold for the space allocated to, or the number of documents in, a storage repository. Once the maximum limit for the storage space or number of files is reached, the system switches to the specified overflow storage repository and also sends out a notification to the administrators.

Replication Home Server

Replication Home Server provides centralized management of specified replication trees in an administrative replication domain through the domain master (Home Server). Any subfolder or document that is added to a home server enabled replication folder will be sourced on Home Server, regardless of the library system where it was originally added. This functionality also ensures that the deletion of any subfolder/document under the home server enabled replication tree is only possible at the Home Server.
