Setting EC folder structure message distribution
Archiving several files in a directory affects the I/O speed that results in limited throughput in EC. This happens when several Archive process steps are defined in Agreements. Use the procedures here to configure the archive properties in EC.
Folders are not automatically moved or deleted when you configure these properties. Processing may take a while for several archive files.
-
Configure the DocArchiver.Level property to be able to distribute archived files to 16{0...f} raised to n folders based on the message UUID, where "n" equals the
DocArchiver.Level
value. When a large number of files are expected in the archive, the 16 raised to n is used.Data: integer
For example:
flat/tree level 1="0"
,flat level 2="00"
,tree level 2="0"/"0"
The default value is 2.
-
Configure the DocArchiver.IsTree property. This is dependent on the value of the
DocArchiver.Level
property. The value indicates whether the folder structure is flat (00) or tree (0/0).Data: boolean
For example:
flat/tree level 1="0"
,flat level 2="00"
,tree level 2="0"/"0"
Use this procedure:
