Copy of documents to ARIS Business Publisher database

TR

Troels Ravn on June 18, 2009

We have a large number of models where we have Documented Knowledge Objects which have a link to a document that sits in a file share.

When creating a publisher export, I have noticed that the content of the documents always gets copied into a BLOB field in the database used by Business Publisher. Irrespective if I have set the "copy documents" property in the publisher profile to true or false.

Question 1: Is there any way of making sure documents are not copied. Many of the documents are very large (many high resolution pictures and detailed drawings), so it slows down the export and takes up unnecessary space in the database.

Question 2: In the case when the documents are copied to the publisher database, can I somehow configure the Business Publisher search engine to also search content in the documents (most documents are PDF format) rather than only searching the data sitting directly in model or object attributes?

Thanks for any input on these items.

To Question 1: If you export your database you can choose an export profile. In this profile you have the opportunity to exactly set up which and if files are copied. You can find this options at: view-options-BusinesspublisherExportProfiles.

To Question 2: In ABP 7.1 you are able to search inside your exported documents. Just switch to the search module and then on document search.

Question 1:

Thanks for the swift reply.

In "view-options-Publisher export profiles" I am only able to find a single check box: "Copy documents" for this purpose, or am I missing something? My findings are that all documents which are linked to objects in my models are copied to a BLOB field in the database, regardless of whether I tick this box or not...

Oh,

in this case I think I can't help you. Maybe you can contact the customer service, because this could be an issue.

Question 1:

This copying procedure was changed in SR2. So only if you check the button "Copy Document" the documents will be copied. Result is, that when you change this option during "Edit Export" the system has to transfer the documents so it is possible that this procedure will take longer as in former version.

Kind regards

Stefan

HIi,

Que 1:

If you want your documents needs to shown in Business Publisher, you need to check the option of " Copying Documents" in 'view-options-Publisher export profiles' then only you can access the documents in Business Publisher.

Que2:

You can search the documents in Business Publisher using the search option.
