About storing StreamServe documents Content Server and Archive Server

StreamServer applications use OpenText Enterprise Library Services to store documents in Content Server and Archive Server. Enterprise Library Services provide an interface to Content Server and Archive Server, and manage the document types, metadata and content types of content stored in these repositories.

Document types in StreamServe and Enterprise Library

StreamServe applications that store documents via Enterprise Library must use document types. For each document type used by a StreamServer application, a corresponding document type (called a document model) must exist in Enterprise Library. The document types in both systems must contain corresponding metadata (called properties in Enterprise Library).

Enterprise Library properties for storing StreamServe documents

Two Enterprise Library properties are required for StreamServe documents that are stored – the Enterprise Library folder ID and document name. These are global properties in Enterprise Library. Global properties are available for all document models in Enterprise Library.

You can use other global Enterprise Library properties to store StreamServe documents. For example, if you want to specify the content type of a document, which controls the viewer used in Content Server.
