Overview of Storing and Moving Data in Windchill Windchill offers several methods to increase the accessibility of data. The following brief summaries present the key features of these methods: • External File Vaulting -- File Vaulting allows you to store Windchill data outside the Windchill database in logical containers called vaults, each of which can refer to multiple physical memory locations called folders. Multiple hosts can work together in file vaulting to form sites or clusters. You can create rules to upload specified data into vaults and folders. File Vaulting reduces the time for uploading and downloading data, and allows Windchill data access control, indexing, and notification policies for Windchill domains, while providing a transparent interface for the user. This chapter provides detailed information about file vaulting. You can accomplish many of the operations explained in this chapter through a command line interface that is explained in another chapter, Configuring External File Vaulting or Replication With FvLoader. • Content Replication -- Windchill Content Replication allows you to compose rules that copy specified data from file vaults or Windchill databases to more rapidly accessible vaults known as replica vaults. Sites in Content Replication are of two types: replica sites to store data for rapid access and master sites which send data to replica sites. One site can play both roles. Security measures ensure that the data on replica sites is genuine. The data sent to replica sites does not include metadata. See the chapterAdministering Content Replication later in this guide for detailed information about Content Replication. • Export and Import -- Windchill Import and Export functions facilitate the exchange of content and metadata between Windchill sites and ProjectLink portals. Windchill Import and Export are available to software developers through an API. The Windchill user can access export functions to package in JAR files the data in the following top-level Windchill objects: folders, product structures, and documents. The Windchill user can import data from the JAR files produced by the export functions and place the data in local Windchill, free of change controls. See the chapter Windchill Import and Export later in this guide for detailed information about Windchill Export and Import. Overview of External File Vaults When a Windchill user creates information, such as a part or a document, content files can be associated with that object. Using file vaulting, you can specify that, for a particular type of object in a specific life cycle state, content files should be stored in a logical container called a vault on a system within your network, rather than in the Windchill database. Each file vault contains folders which correspond to physical storage locations (for example, directories) on the host system. Based on the vaulting policy you 3-2 Windchill System Administrator’s Guide
establish, an uploaded file is stored in the file system location represented by the vault and folder to which it is assigned. A Windchill site, or cluster, is a group of hosts with one URL. The hosts can be accessed individually or as a single unit. File vaults function as elements of sites. The following graphic summarizes the relationships between the entities that compose a site. The symbols in the preceding graphic are identified by letters and correspond to the following components: A. Windchill Method Server -- The Windchill Method Server that manages the Windchill database processes data and queries that pass between the Windchill database and the external file vaults. B. Windchill Database -- The Windchill Database provides an interface for an Oracle database. C. BLOB -- The Oracle database stores binary large objects (BLOBs). D. File Vault -- The file system consists of multiple folders. The folders are located in one or more file vaults, which are logical constructs unassociated with particular locations.
