Profile Creation API

The ProfileAPI object allows the creation of StoragePoint externalization profiles outside of the StoragePoint UI. This object is usable only from Microsoft .net code.

ProfileAPI Object Reference

Constructor Reference

The ProfileAPI object is created by one of three constructors. The first in the table below is the constructor to use to create a new profile. The other two are used only for loading existing profiles.

Constructor Signature

Description

ProfileAPI(ProfileType type, string scopeId)

 

Used to create a profile on a given site collection, content database or web application (or a no-scope profile). If type is SiteCollection, then scopeId should be the ID value of the SPSite object for the site collection. If type is WebApplication then scopeId should be the Id value of the SPWebApplication object for the web application. If type is NoScope, then scopeId should be null.

ProfileAPI(string ProfileId)

Used to load a profile given its unique ProfileId identifier. Cannot be used to create a new profile.

ProfileAPI(SPListItem listItem)

Used to load the profile for a given document (identified by its SPListItem object). Cannot be used to create a new profile.

Property Reference

The ProfileAPI object has many properties that can be set to enable various profile options. Most of these options correspond to items presented in the Add/Edit Profile page in StoragePoint’s management console.

Property Name

Data Type

Required

Description

IsActive

bool

Yes

Specifies whether the profile should externalize content or not. Should generally set to True.

AdapterName

string

Yes

The storage adapter to use for the profile. Possible values include FileSystem, Atmos, AmazonS3, Azure, EMCCentera and HcapRest (note that all but FileSystem require a separate purchase of the given adapter). FileSystem should be used to store content on file shares or most SAN devices.

Connection

string

Yes

The adapter specific connection string.

UseCompression

bool

No

Specifies whether compression is turned on for the profile. Set to true to turn on compression. Default is false.

UseEncryption

bool

No

Specifies whether encryption is turned on for the profile. Set to true to enable (default is false). By default, when enabling encryption, the profile will be automatically set to use 256-bit AES encryption. This can be overridden via the EncryptionProviderId property.

EncryptionPassphrase

string

No

(unless UseEncryption set)

A password that will be used to generate an encryption key. Must be set if UseEncryption property is set to true.

EncryptionProviderId

string

No

The guid-style identifier of the encryption profile to use. This does not need to be set if the default AES 256-bit provider is desired. This id value can be obtained by examining the EncryptionProviders table in the StoragePoint database.

ProfileId

string

No

The internal guid-style identifier of the profile. Will be NULL for any new profile (until Save is called).

Type

ProfileType

Yes – in constructor

The type of the profile. Can be:

  SiteCollection for site collection profiles.

  WebApplication for web app profiles.

  NoScope for scope-less profiles.

This property is read-only. The type of the profile being created is specified in the constructor of the ProfileAPI class.

SiteId

string

Yes – in constructor

The id of site collection that the profile is attached to (for SiteCollection type profiles). This is set in the constructor of the ProfileAPI class.

WebApplicationId

string

Yes – in constructor

The id of web application that the profile is attached to (for WebApplication type profiles). This is set in the constructor of the ProfileAPI class.

BlobRetentionDays

int

No

Number of days after a BLOB file has been orphaned that it should be kept.

Foldering

Bool

No

Specifies if content should be auto-foldered on the external file store (not in SharePoint – see CabinetOn for that). Default is true. Leaving this setting on true is highly recommended.

FolderingLevel

int

No

Specifies the format of the auto foldering scheme. Default value is 5. Possible values are:

    1 for YYYY

    2 for YYYY/MM

    3 for YYYY/MM/DD

    4 for YYYY/MM/DD/HH

    5 for YYYY/MM/DD/HH/MM

    6 for YYYY/MM/DD/HH/MM/SS

FileSizeOp

int

No

Specifies the operator to use if a file size filter is specified. Possible values are:

0 for less than or equal to (<=)

1 for greater than or equal to (>=)

FileSize

int

No

The file size in KB if a file size filter is specified.

-1 (negative one) means no file size filter is in place and is the default value.

FileTypeOp

int

No

Specifies the operator to use if a file type filter is specified. Possible values are:

0 for Exclude specified file types

1 for Include specified file types

FileTypes

string

No

A comma separated list of file types in the filter. The file type must be UPPER case and be the correct extension for the file type.

For example, TIF for TIFF files or PPTX for PowerPoint files.  Separate multiple file types by commas (,).

The value should be null (the default) if no file type filter is desired.

RMEnabled

bool

No

Specifies whether Records Management is enabled.

RMScope

string

No

Scope of the Records Management rules.

RMDeclaredRecord

bool

No

Whether declaring a record moves the BLOB.

RMDeclaredRecordEndpoint

EndpointAPI

No

The endpoint which stores the BLOB of a record.

RMUndeclaredRecord

bool

No

Whether undeclaring a record moves the BLOB.

RMUndeclaredRecordEndpoint

EndpointAPI

No

The endpoint which stores the BLOB that is no longer a record.

HMEnabled

bool

No

Specifies whether Holds Management is enabled.

HMScope

string

No

Scope of the Holds Management rules.

HMOnHold

bool

No

Whether putting an item in hold moves the BLOB.

HMOnHoldEndpoint

EndpointAPI

No

The endpoint which stores the BLOB of an item in hold.

HMRemovedFromHold

bool

No

Whether removing a file from hold moves the BLOB.

HMRemovedFromHoldEndpoint

EndpointAPI

No

The endpoint which stores the BLOB that is no longer in a hold.

Method Reference

There are a few methods provided in the ProfileAPI object to accomplish certain tasks. The following methods are available:

Method Name

Parameters

Description

Save

(none)

Saves the profile and activates if (if necessary) on the specified site collection or web application.

Test

(none)

Tests the profile by writing out a small test file and then deleting it. Will throw an exception if anything goes wrong.

Delete

int recallJobThreads -> Number of threads to allocate to the recall job that is scheduled by the delete.

 

string notificationEmailAddress -> Email address to send completion email to when delete and recall are complete..

Schedules a deletion of the profile. Deletion of a profile requires a recall job to run first. Thus, this method returns before the deletion is complete.

CreateOrphanBlobCleanupJob

SPSchedule schedule -> Specifies the schedule of when to run the job. Can be any of the SharePoint SPSchedule derived types such as SPDailySchedule or SPWeeklySchedule.

 

string emailNotificationAddress -> Specifies the email address to send the job completion email to. Pass null if no email is desired.

 

bool emailOnErrorOnly -> true to send completion email on error only and false to send always.

Creates an Orphan BLOB Cleanup Job (garbage collector) for the profile.

Profile Creation Code Examples

The following are examples in Microsoft C# of creating various types of StoragePoint profiles. A good strategy for creating Profile API code is to take one of these samples and customize it as needed. For example, to create a profile with encryption but not compression support, simply take the Creating a Profile with Encryption and Compression example and delete the line profile.UseCompression = true;.

info

NOTE: All examples assume the presence of an SPSite object named site (for site collection profile examples) or an SPWebApplication object named webapp (for web application examples). These are used solely to obtain the Id value of the given site or web application. The Id value may be obtained in other ways or even hard-coded if desired.

Creating a Site Collection Profile with No Encryption or Compression (C#)

 

This example creates a basic profile on a site collection. It uses the included FileSystem adapter and does not enable compression and encryption support.

 

    ProfileAPI profile =

  new ProfileAPI(ProfileAPI.ProfileType.SiteCollection,

                site.ID.ToString());

    profile.IsActive = true;       // Profile should externalize content

    profile.AdapterName = "FileSystem";

    profile.Connection = "path=e:\\ExternalFileStore";

    profile.Save();

 

Creating a Web Application Profile with No Encryption or Compression (C#)

 

This example creates a basic profile (similar to the last example) on a Web Application.

    ProfileAPI profile =

  new ProfileAPI(ProfileAPI.ProfileType.WebApplication,

                        webapp.Id.ToString());

    profile.IsActive = true;       // Profile should externalize content

    profile.AdapterName = "FileSystem";

    profile.Connection = "path=e:\\ExternalFileStore";

    profile.Save();

 

Creating a Profile with Encryption and Compression (C#)

 

This example builds on the previous examples to include compression and encryption support. This example may be used on a web application by modifying the first line to create a ProfileType.WebApplication type profile (see the last example).

    ProfileAPI profile =

  new ProfileAPI(ProfileAPI.ProfileType.SiteCollection,

                        site.ID.ToString());

    profile.IsActive = true;       // Profile should externalize ntent

    profile.AdapterName = "FileSystem";

    profile.Connection = "path=e:\\ExternalFileStore";

    profile.UseCompression = true;

    profile.UseEncryption = true;

    profile.EncryptionPassphrase = "your_unique_passphrase_here";

    profile.Save();

 

Creating a Web Application Profile with a File Type and File Size Filter (C#)

 

This example creates a basic profile (similar to the last example) on a Web Application.

    ProfileAPI profile =

  new ProfileAPI(ProfileAPI.ProfileType.WebApplication,

                        webapp.Id.ToString());

    profile.IsActive = true;       // Profile should externalize content

    profile.AdapterName = "FileSystem";

    profile.Connection = "path=e:\\ExternalFileStore";

    profile.FileSizeOp = 1;         // >=

    profile.FileSize = 40;         // 40k

    profile.FileTypeOp = 1;         // Include

    profile.FileTypes = "TIF,PPTX"; // TIFF and powerpoint files

    profile.Save();

 

Creating a Scope-less Profile with No Encryption or Compression (C#)

 

This example creates a scope-less profile that stores externalized content on an EMC Atmos cloud account (requires the Atmos cloud adapter for StoragePoint and an EMC Atmos online account). A scope-less profile can only be used to externalize content from a workflow or other custom code (like a custom event receiver).

 

    ProfileAPI profile = new ProfileAPI(ProfileAPI.ProfileType.NoScope,null);

    profile.IsActive = true;

    profile.AdapterName = "Atmos";

    profile.Connection ="UID=atmos user id;Key=atmos secret key;";

    profile.UseCompression = true;

    profile.UseEncryption = true;

    profile.EncryptionPassphrase = "your_unique_passphrase_here";

   profile.Save();

 

Deleting a Profile (C#)

 

This example loads an existing profile and schedules it for deletion.

 

    ProfileAPI p =

               new ProfileAPI("81d2fa85-365d-4e56-8820-295f9cdd1aa5");

    p.Delete(4, "admin@storagepoint.local");

 

Archive API

The ArchiveAPI object allows the creation of StoragePoint archiving rules to existing StoragePoint profiles. This object is usable only from Microsoft .net code.
