Configuration Parameters (Hitachi Content Platform)
Attribute Name Attribute Value
Confirm Password String
The same value as the HCP Password parameter. Content Engine uses this parameter and the HCP Password parameter to confirm that the entered value is the intended value.

Directory Structure Integer
Default=Large
The size of the content storage directory structure based on the number of directory levels. The directories at the lowest level store the content. The number of these content directories equals (23)n where n is the number of levels as determined by your selected size:
  • SMALL: Two levels
    Content is stored in 529 directories.
  • LARGE: Three levels
    Content is stored in 12, 167 directories.

Directories in the directory tree are named FN0 through FN22 (other than the root directory).

The directory structure size can be set only when initially registering the fixed content device with Content Engine.

FCP Pool Idle Timeout Seconds Integer
Default=600
The number of seconds an idle connection can remain in the pool before becoming eligible to be closed and removed from the pool. A value of less than zero for this parameter is treated as zero.

FCP Pool Max In Use Integer
Default=200
The maximum number of concurrent connections to the fixed content device.

FCP Pool Max Wait Seconds Integer
Default=5
The maximum number of seconds to wait for a connection to become available before refusing a request for a connection. No connection is available when the limit on the number of concurrent connections as specified by the FCP Pool Max In Use parameter has been reached.

FCP Pool Preferred Size Integer
Default=5
The minimum size for the pool. A value of less than zero for this parameter is treated as zero.

HCP Password String
The password for the user account. The user account is specified by the HCP User parameter.

HCP User String
The name of the HCP user account that Content Engine uses to access the HCP namespace. The user account must have read, write, delete, and purge privileges. The namespace is specified by the Namespace URL parameter.

Max Connections Integer
Default=200
The maximum number of concurrent connections to the fixed content device for the Java virtual machine (JVM). The value of the JVM http.maxConnections system parameter is set to the value of this parameter.

Typically, you set the value of this parameter in accordance with the following formula: parameter value = FCP Pool Max In Use parameter value * the number of Content Engine registrations for the Hitachi fixed content device (FCD). For example, suppose that you create two FCD objects in Content Engine to represent the Hitachi FCD. For both FCD objects, this parameter value must be 400 if the FCP Pool Max In Use value is 200.

Namespace URL String
The HTTP or HTTPS URL to the HCP server namespace. If an HTTPS URL is specified, the transport between Content Engine and HCP is encrypted via SSL, but HCP server certificates are not used.

Root Directory Path String
The fully qualified path to the directory tree in the HCP namespace where content is stored.
