File Archive
✓ Remote shortcutting job: The contentACCESS File Archive has been extended with a new job type to help companies having a central datacenter with several remote locations. The datacenter and the remote locations are synchronized. In this case contentACCESS is installed only in the datacenter, the files are archived here. With the remote shortcut job it is possible to create shortcuts for the archived files on the remote locations. In this solution it is enough to install contentACCESS centrally (only a single node) and then this new job of cares about the shortcut creation on remote locations. For detailed description see the contentACCESS manual.

If the company policy prescribes to archive all newly created or recently modified files, this filter enhancement solves this problem. To create a proper archiving policy take into consideration these rules:
