Default Values

 

Configure Farm-wide Storage Endpoint and Storage Profile Defaults

In lieu of re-entering common settings into new storage profiles, farm-wide default values can be created. These values will be pre-populated in newly-created profiles and endpoints.

1.Click the Default Values link on the Application Management page in SharePoint Central Administration.
menu-default values

2.The Default Values page is displayed.
Default_values

3.Change the value for properties that should be defaulted. Descriptions for each property are provided in the chart below.

Setting

Value/Options

Default Notification Contacts

Enter the email addresses of administrators or any other personnel that should be notified of Metalogix StoragePoint events such as Timer Jobs. The email addresses should be separated by semi-colons.

Default Endpoint Storage Settings

These settings will be the defaults when creating new storage endpoints, but can be edited.

default_waning_threshhold

A warning email can be sent if a Storage Endpoint encounters errors or is nearing capacity. The default is no warnings.

default_offline_threshhold

An online Storage Endpoint can be automatically taken offline if it encounters errors or is nearing capacity. The default is to never take the endpoint offline.

default_extra_email_addresses

Default email addresses for system error and offline notification can be entered. Check the box to include the list of Default Notification Contacts specified on this same page.

default_adapter_settings

Select the default adapter type. The FileSystem adapter is installed with the core product by default.

 

If a default adapter is selected, default connection string information can also be entered. Complete the adapter-specific connection fields, per the Administration Guide for the adapter.

default_adapter_connection_string

 

Please see the File System Adapter Guide for File System Adapter Connection String Options.

Click the Show Connection string to edit the connection string directly.

 

The FileSystem adapter is installed as part of the core installation.

 

For the FileSystem adapter, the format is:

 

path=blob store location

 

Where blob store location is drive:\folder or \\server\share or \\domain\share

default_folder_content

For Asynchronous Endpoints, see Creating a New Storage Profile for using SharePoint foldering in the BLOB store.

info

NOTE: If asynchronous externalization is used with SharePoint folder options selected, this scheme will not be used.

No – Externalized content BLOBs are not placed in folders (Default).

Yes – Externalized content BLOBs are placed in folders.

 

If Folder Content in BLOB Store is Yes then a date/time folder scheme from the dropdown can be selected.

YYYY/MM/DD/HH/MM is the default.

default_work_device

If the default endpoint is on a WORM (Write Once, Read Many) device, Unused BLOB Cleanup will ignore this endpoint.

default_compression_encryption

No – Externalized content BLOBs are not compressed (default).

Yes – Externalized content BLOBs are compressed.

 

None – Encryption will not be applied to externalized BLOBs (default).

AES (128 bit) – 128 bit AES encryption will be applied to externalized BLOBs.

AES (256 bit) – 256 bit AES encryption will be applied to externalized BLOBs.

 

Unused BLOB Handling

default_unused_blob_retention

info

NOTE: The default value is 30 days. This value synchronizes well with many backup/restore cycles but may need adjustment. See the section Unused BLOB Cleanup Job Considerations for more information.

This setting indicates how long the Unused BLOB Cleanup Job should retain BLOBs whose parent list items or documents have been removed from SharePoint (i.e. purged from recycle bin, deleted, etc.).

If the value is 0 then the orphaned BLOBs will be removed during the next run of the Unused BLOB Cleanup Job. If a value of greater than 0 is specified, then the BLOB will be deleted that many days after being orphaned. For example, specifying 30 will cause orphaned BLOB files to be removed at least 30 days after being orphaned.

4.Click Save at the bottom of the page to save the default settings. Newly created storage profiles or endpoints will inherit these values.

Notification Email

If the Unused BLOB Cleanup, Externalization, Migration or Recall jobs are configured to send a completion notification email to one or more recipients, the email will provide summary information similar to the following:
METALO~1_img31

And one similar to this for the Unused BLOB Cleanup job:
METALO~1_img32
