The archive location is configurable but by default is:

Code Block
./projectname/archivemediaArchive/typename/propertyname/objectid-epochdatetime-filename.ext
  • projectname: the name of the current application
  • typename: the specific content type in question, eg. dmFile
  • propertyname: the specific property name holding the file path information
  • objectid: the UUID of the file content item
  • epochtime: the number of seconds elapsed since midnight UTC of January 1, 1970
  • filename: the filename of the document

Typically typename/propertyname would be defined as part of the formtool metadata for file; ftDestination. A defacto standard for content types with a single file property is to simply use the typename value. For example, core content type dmfile uses ./mediaArchive/typename/*

Archived files are not readily retrievable or restorable by contributors in the system. The archive is generated primarily for archival and audit purposes.
Note: The archive feature assumes that the solution has been configured to archive media content. Archiving media assets is a server configurable option and is commonly deactivated.
