Creator Property

Indicates the name of the user assigned as the creator of the object.

Settability of this property is read-only for most users. For users who have been granted privileged write access (AccessRight.PRIVILEGED_WRITE), this property is settable only on create. After initial object creation, this property is read-only for all users.

DateCreated Property

Indicates the date and time the object was created. The Content Engine stores dates and times using Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Settability of this property is read-only for most users. For users who have been granted privileged write access (AccessRight.PRIVILEGED_WRITE), this property is settable only on create. After initial object creation, this property is read-only for all users.

Settability of this property is read-only for most users. For users who have been granted privileged write access (AccessRight.PRIVILEGED_WRITE), this property is read/write. (The read/write access for those users can only change if a change is made to the ACL on the object store that controls who has privileged write access to objects in that object store).

DisplayName Property

RequiresUniqueElements:  false
Settability:  READ_WRITE
TargetAccessRequired:  READ

Id Property

A representation of the Globally Unique Identifier (GUID), a unique 128-bit number, that is assigned to this Content Engine object when the object is created. When converted to a string, the Id property is typically depicted as 32 hexadecimal characters enclosed by brackets in the following format: {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}. For example, {3F2504E0-4F89-11D3-9A0C-0305E82C3301}.

For User and Group classes, the Id property takes the value of the Security Identifier (SID) rather than the 128-bit GUID. The string representation of the SID is in this example format: S-1-5-21-1559522492-2815155736-3711640725-55269. When Active Directory is used as the directory service for IBM FileNet P8, calls to User.get_Id() and Group.get_Id() always return the current SID for the principal, even if this user or group has only historical SIDs populating the Active Directory server.

For a given property representation, the Id property has the following characteristics:

For a newly created document object, you can override the Id property of its associated VersionSeries object before you save or check in the document for the first time.

LastModifier Property

Indicates the name of the user who last modified this object.

Settability of this property is read-only for most users. For users who have been granted privileged write access (AccessRight.PRIVILEGED_WRITE), this property is read/write. (The read/write access for those users could only change if a change is made to the ACL on the object store that controls who has privileged write access to objects in that object store).

MaxCollections Property

The maximum number of collections that can be created in this index area. If this number is exceeded, the server sets the IndexArea.ResourceStatus property to "closed", and for this same site and object store, changes to "open" the ResourceStatus value of the first index area found having a ResourceStatus value of "standby".

Name Property

The name for this object.

For most classes, this property is read-only and returns the value of the designated name property for the object, or its ID if there is no name property. If ClassDescription.NamePropertyIndex has a value, this property contains the value of the designated name property. If there is no designated name property value, and the object has an Id property, this property contains the string value of the Id property. If neither of these conditions is satisfied, this property contains an empty string.

For a ComponentRelationship object, this property is read/write and specifies the name of the object.

ResourceStatus Property

Contains a ResourceStatus object, which specifies the availability status of a storage or index area. The status value can be any one of the following:

Note: When the ResourceStatus value is UNAVAILABLE, the indexer creates a new collection and completes any pending index requests using the new collection.

The Content Engine supports the following automatic transitions between status values:

An area's status can also be changed manually as allowed by the following rules:
