Packer

Packers are joining multiple files stored in HSM into large ZIP archives. It is better to have several large files than a plenty of small ones – the disk space utilization is more efficient in this case, because it helps to avoid internal disk fragmentation. Packers can be created and managed on the Packer tab. Created packers can then be assigned to specific schema on the Stores tab.

f-packer

First select the store in Temporary store for packages dropdown. It will be the temporary store for archived files before they got packed. Then the packed files will be moved to the final store (it can be the same store as well).

To create a packer, click Create. The HSM Packer dialog pops-up. Configure the settings:

Name                        – enter packer name

Type                        – the file to be used by the packer

Max. package size        – if the specified limit is reached, new package will be created

Max. files in package – package starts to be created when the specified number of files is reached

Max single file size – if the file size is bigger than the specified value, the file will not be included in the package (otherwise it would be much time consuming)

File types & Action        – allow specifying file types to be included / excluded in/from the package

Max age of files – is files to be packed are waiting in the packer queue longer than the specified value, a new package will be created

Deactivate processing of files        – deactivate processing of files in the packer queue

g-create

Following table displays how archived files in HSM are handled during ‘Asynchronous packer’ task process:

Temporary store for packages

Source Store result

Target store result

Same as Source store (*)

Original archived files are deleted after they are compressed and stored in Temporary store for packages.

ZIP container with archived files

Different as Source store (*)

Original archived file remains at store after they are compressed and stored in Temporary store for packages.

ZIP container with archived files

Temporary store for packages: HSM store that is used by packer process to store compressed temporary files that are subsequently stored in ZIP container. Current version of HSM uses only GZ compression.

Source store: HSM store that is processed by ‘Asynchronous packer’ task.

Target store: HSM store where ZIP containers are stored as a result of ‘Asynchronous packer’ task

info

NOTE: Files archived into HSM with compress option activated at schema always remains at source store regardless settings of temporary store for packages. These files also do not use ‘Temporary store for packages’ since they are already compressed. This behavior is by HSM design.

 

Tasks

On this tab you can create asynchronous tasks for HSM. An asynchronous task can be performed at a later time and not immediately after its creation. Basic tasks are the following:

·Copy - copies archived items from a source store to a destination store.

·Move - moves archived items from a source store to a destination store.

·Encrypt - encrypts files in the specified store with a selected encryption key.

·Advanced - define multiple tasks or sequence tasks based on specific criteria.

h-tasks

Creating Move / Copy task

info

NOTE: Before creating any asynchronous task, stores must be created under the Stores tab.

1.Click Create > Move task (or Copy task). The Move files (or Copy files) window opens.

i-moveStore

Enter the configuration details as described below:

a.Source store dropdown menu select the store from which the files will be moved (copied).

b.Target store dropdown menu select the store to which the files will be moved (copied).

c.Name text box type the task display name or click Generate to fill in the text box with generic name.

d.Description - add a description about the task.

e.Resume at FILEID - select the check box if you want the task to “remember” the last processed file and resume at the next one when it starts again after a pause. (The textbox displays the file ID of the latest processed file.)

f.Activate - select the check box to activate the task.

g.Auto-deactivate - select the check box to deactivate the task when it completes. The check box is available only when Resume at FILEID is checked.

h.Scheduling - Sets the task run time. Besides the default perpetual unlimited scheduling, you can add your own start time and stop time by clicking Define. There can be several schedulers defined. Then select the actual scheduling time. The task will be started every day at the defined time.

info

NOTE: Task scheduling can be modified when you select the task from the list and click Modify. If anytime is selected the task starts whenever the MAM HSM Asynchronous Operations service starts.

2.Once the task is configured, click OK. The task displays in the Tasks list.

Creating Encryption Task

info

NOTE: Before creating any asynchronous task, stores must be created under the Stores tab.

1.Click Create > Encrypt task. In the Encryption Task window opens.
