Setting a maximum size on libraries

Use FilesLibraryService commands to assign a policies to libraries. A library is a set of files owned by a person or community. A policy sets a maximum size for a library.

Before you begin

To use administrative commands, you must use the wsadmin client. See Starting the wsadmin client for details.

Procedure

  1. Start the wsadmin client.
  2. Start the Files Jython script interpreter using the following command:
    execfile("filesAdmin.py")
  3. Create a policy to specify the library size, using steps in the topic Working with policies.
  4. Run the following commands to set maximum sizes on libraries:
    FilesLibraryService.assignPolicy(string libraryId, string policyId)

    Assigns a policy to a library. A library is a set of files owned by a person or community. It includes all versions of the files, but does not include metadata such as comments. A policy sets a maximum size for a library.

    No message is printed if the task succeeds.

    Parameters:
    libraryId
    The library ID in the following standard Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) format: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.
    policyId
    The policy ID in the following standard Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) format: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.
    For example:
    FilesLibraryService.assignPolicy("f0d01111-9b21-4dd8-b8be-8825631cb84b",
   "2d93497d-065a-4022ae25-a4b52598d11a")
    FilesLibraryService.assignPolicyBatch(string filePath)

    Assigns policies to libraries as specified in a text file. The file must contain a list of library-policy ID pairs, one pair per line, values separated by a comma. For example: libraryId, policyId. Extra whitespace is ignored. You must create this text file and save it in a directory local to the server where you are running the wsadmin processor.

    A library is a set of files owned by a person or community. It includes all versions of the files, but does not include metadata such as comments. A policy sets a maximum size for a library.

    Parameters:
    filePath
    The full path to the text file, as a string.
    For example:
    FilesLibraryService.assignPolicyBatch("C:/connections/assign_policies.txt")
