Blob Files Are Grouped into Content Manager Resource Items

CA DataMinder does not store each blob as a single Content Manager resource item. It groups them, significantly reducing write times for event data migrated to Content Manager. Policy settings on the CMS determine the maximum number of blobs and bytes per resource item.

If multiple blobs are stored in Content Manager resource items, CA DataMinder blob files are concatenated into a single item and blob offset and length details are stored with the Content Manager resource ID in the CA DataMinder database to optimize data retrieval during event searches.

By default, blob files are compressed and encrypted when they are stored on the CMS. They are stored to Content Manager in the same format.

Note: CA DataMinder does not store blob files with differing trigger-defined Minimum Retention Periods in the same Content Manager resource item.
