Object store (General tab)

The General tab on the object store's property sheet describes the basic properties of an object store.

Name
The name of the object store. The name can contain any 64 characters (upper- or lowercase letters, numbers, spaces, and symbols). The Object Store wizard ensures that the name is unique to the FileNet P8 domain.
Symbolic Name
The symbolic name of the object store. The symbolic name can be used as a programmatic identifier. The symbolic name is created by the Object Store wizard by removing any spaces from the name and ensuring that the first character is alphabetic. You can change the symbolic name, but you must also change any code that is using this value. The symbolic name must be unique to the FileNet P8 domain.
Description
Any needed or useful information. The maximum length is 255 characters.
ID
The Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) of the object store. Each object has a universally unique ID that is assigned by the system and cannot be changed.
Domain
The FileNet P8 domain where the object store resides.
Content Access Recording Level
The object store-wide default for how the Date Content Last Accessed property is recorded.
Support Table Overflow
(IBM® DB2® only) Determines whether table overflow support is enabled for the object stores. If this option is selected, Content Engine creates an overflow table when the object store database tables exceed the row size limit set by Content Engine. The Content Engine limit is less than the row size limit set by most databases and allows for additional system properties on the base table in future releases. If you disable table overflow support any overflow tables that have been created remain in use. For more information about determining the database row size, see Determine database row size.
Auditing Enabled?
Determines whether auditing is enabled for the object store. Auditing must be configured separately.
Default Checkout Type
Sets a default value for the entire object store for how checkouts will be marked if the application enabling the checkout does not specify the checkout type:
