Alfresco Data Storage

draxor

I would like to know where alfresco keeps the content of the folders.

To clearify: If I upload a document to an alfresco folder where is it stored? In his (mysql)database, in the alf_data folder, somewhere else??

http://forums.alfresco.com/viewtopic.php?t=975

but is there any information about the structure of it?
beside the map where i can figure out that its the year where the documents were added to alfresco

Here's the code that generates the URLs of new content (located in the AbstractContentStore class):

    public static String createNewUrl()
    {
        Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
        int year = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
        int month = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;  // 0-based
        int day = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
        int hour = calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
        int minute = calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
        // create the URL
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(20);
        sb.append(STORE_PROTOCOL)
          .append(year).append('/')
          .append(month).append('/')
          .append(day).append('/')
          .append(hour).append('/')
          .append(minute).append('/')
          .append(GUID.generate()).append(".bin");
        String newContentUrl = sb.toString();
        // done
        return newContentUrl;
    }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Since alfresco uses FileContentStore as its default implementation of ContentStore, the part after STORE_PROTOCOL is mapped to a regular directory structure under \alf_data\contentstore.

What about his metadata? like author etc?

frederick

The answer is in the topic you linked

The node resides in the database, as do most of its properties (including author, title, creation date etc).
Properties of the type "content" (i.e. binary data) are the exception: these are stored on the file system.
