Identifies the name of the fixed content device that has been associated with the fixed storage area.
Staging Area Path
Identifies the dedicated file storage area associated with the fixed storage area. The staging area is created automatically when the fixed storage area is created
Default retention period

IBM Content Integrator

An IBM Content Integrator system is added to a P8 system as a federated component. By adding a Content Integrator system in a federated configuration you can access information that has been collected, managed, and stored on a different system. Use the Add a Fixed Content Device wizard from within EM to add these components to the system, even though federated components are very different functionally than traditional fixed content devices. For more information, see Content Federation Services overview.
