Catalog
Content Catalog
The catalog provides comprehensive control and traceability of all files managed by Nodeum within workflow orchestration. It includes files from primary storage added to the inventory, which is crucial for using the TCO Calculator prior to workflow management.
Access and Storage Interface
Through a user-friendly interface, users can access data across various storage spaces:
Cache Storage
Nearline Archive: Data archiving on tapes.
Cold Archive: Data protection on tapes.
Cloud and S3 Object Storage
Fast search capabilities are enabled by utilizing both embedded file metadata and business metadata.
Secure and Flexible Access
The system offers a secure method for external users to access the infrastructure, using access rights or as part of a more advanced access portal. This feature can be configured as a self-service option or with stricter controls, facilitating data sharing directly from within the Nodeum infrastructure.
Indexed Content
The indexation engine offers native capabilities for indexing all metadata related to contents, tasks, reports, and data management statistics. By creating an index, it enables fast searching throughout the solution rather than searching through text.
The solution includes both a Solr-indexed engine and a Nodeum indexation engine service. The latter is designed to export all defined information from SQL and NoSQL databases to Solr, facilitating index creation.
The engine runs automatically.
Sometimes, it's required to index the catalog.
User Management
The catalog uses the end user access rights to provide an easy and secure self-service portal. Any end user is allowed to manage their data straight through the Nodeum Ecosystem.
Data Lifecycle Information
When opening a tile, all details about the file is available including its lifecycle. This display the different processed copies.
Information Description
Path
Path of the folder or file
Creation Date
Creation date of Files or Folder
Place of Store (Primary Storage and its name)
Last Modification Date
Last modification date of files or folfer and its size
Type of Task (Offline , active Copy/move)
Ex. : it is the date of last offline copy done
You can see the following details :
Target where the data are stored for NAS/Cloud backup
Volume if the file/Folder is store on Tape
Pool Name
Rule : name of task runned
In cache
The file or folder are save in Active archive workflows.
The data is in cache save on a specfic container. The user can open the files/Folder directly and bring modification.
Search bar integration
The search bar is integrated into the catalog and some reports, including the Data Lifecycle and metadata reports. It helps you find data quickly and easily. You can use multiple filters to refine your search.
Keywords
From File x size to x size
From Change Date xx to
From Modification Date xx to
From Access Date xx to
Container
Choose a Container from the list
Primary Storage and if needed apply some filters to affine the selection (type of storage, pool..)
Scanned represents the files inventoried but not used by workflow manager
Workflow represents the files managed by workflow into Nodeum
Secondary Storage and if needed apply some filters to affine the selection (type of storage, pool..)
Path
complete the full path of the file
all levels
Only for the path, you see all files and folders
But you can also search data with special command :
file_id_l
It is the internal file identifier
file_parent_id_l
file_name_s
file_parent_path_s
file_base_name_s
file_extension_s
file_size_l
file_type_i
file_change_dt
file_modification_dt
file_access_dt
file_extern_b
file_in_cache_b
file_in_cache_dt

prim_cloud_bucket_id_l
prim_cloud_bucket_price_d
prim_cloud_connector_name_s
prim_cloud_connector_id_l
prim_cloud_connector_type_i
This information create command in the search that you can complete manually after choosing filter(s).
Example of Command to afine the keysearch :
* file_name:test
* to get only folder : file_type:0
* to get only files : file_type:1 to get only files
* Checking if file or folder are in cache : file_in_cache:1
* Checking if files or folder are not in cache : file_in_cache:0
Basket
End-Users can initiate Data Archiving or Data Protection workflows directly from the Catalog using the basket. This accelerates operations by utilizing the Catalog's search and filtering capabilities.
Authorization to User Admin
It is possible to grant the admin account permission to view all items in the catalog.
Administrator see everything
if it is enable : allow all "administrator accounts" to see all contents which are in the catalog.
If it is disable, the "administrator accounts" will not see the files they are not granted to see.
Default Filter
to hide in the catalog the hidden files (.*)
-file_name:(.*)
Force an indexation
Navigate to the System menu and select Settings to initiate an indexation.
