Disabling metadata in a context (redeploy)

Before you redeploy, you must:

•	Stop all applications in the application domain.

•	Make sure the runtime repository contains no jobs related to affected document types. You can use Database Administration Tool to delete jobs.

•	If you disable metadata in Message context, make sure the runtime repository contains no Messages in Message storages affected by the changed metadata. You can use Database Administration Tool to expire and delete Messages.

•	If you disable metadata in Post-processing context, make sure the runtime repository contains no documents in Post-processing storages affected by the changed metadata. You can use Database Administration Tool to expire and delete documents.

•	If you disable metadata in Archive context, make sure there are no documents waiting to be archived. You can use Database Administration Tool to examine the archiving queue, and to retry to archive documents that failed to be archived.

•	Make sure the runtime repository does not contain any persistent resources related to affected document types. You can use Database Administration Tool to delete the resources.

•	If you disable metadata in Archive context, make sure there are no saved Collector searches that include the changed metadata. If there are, you must remove the changed metadata from all affected searches in Collector.

•	Make sure you have a complete backup of the runtime repository.

When you try to redeploy, you receive a message saying you cannot redeploy unless you force the update into the runtime repository. To do this you must have administrator privileges. See Forcing updates into the runtime repository.

Consequences in databases

Database	Consequences
Enterprise repository	• The revision number is updated for the document types that include the disabled metadata. • The metadata value for the context in the document type XML is changed to false.
Runtime repository	Message storages Metadata disabled in Message context can no longer be used. Post-processing storages Metadata disabled in Post-processing context can no longer be used.
Collector archive	Metadata disabled in Archive context is not removed from the Collector archive. It is still attached to already archived documents, but it cannot be used anymore in Collector searches.

 

Consequences in StreamStudio

Application	Consequences
Composer	There are no consequences for Composer since you cannot enable/disable metadata in this context.
Composition Center	There are no consequences for Composition Center since you cannot enable/disable metadata in this context.
Collector	Metadata disabled in Archive context cannot be used in Collector searches.
