The storage management criteria that you specify determines where and when Content Manager OnDemand stores reports and how it maintains them.
An administrator creates a Content Manager OnDemand application for each report that is to be stored on the system. Applications with similar indexing requirements can be placed into a collection called an application group.
When you load a report into Content Manager OnDemand, you assign it to an application group. The application group identifies a storage set which points to an associated migration policy. A migration policy identifies location(s) on which data is stored. Content Manager OnDemand will automatically store a copy of the report on disk, unless you specify otherwise. If a migration policy also identifies archive storage locations, then Content Manager OnDemand automatically stores a copy of the report in archive storage.
One or more application groups can specify the same storage set. All of the data that is associated with a particular storage set (and corresponding migration policy) will be maintained using the same type of media, devices, length of time to maintain data on the system, and so forth.
For more information on migrating documents and recommendations for storage management criteria defined in your application groups, storage sets, and migration policies, see the IBM® Content Manager OnDemand for i: Common Server Administration Guide.
