Features
The Archive Content Connector (ACC) is an HTTP Servlet that connects one SAP system to several SAP ArchiveLink content repositories. In a round robin schema, it attempts to handle a call by forwarding to real repositories, possibly manufactured by different vendors, in sequence. The first successful response is passed back to the caller (usually an SAP system).
Additional features include:
- Restricting access to listed repositories only
- Restricting/allowing read/write/delete access to repositories
- Restricting access to only certain document ids (whitelisting)
- Obscuring document content while verifying the existence of a document (placeholder display)
- Forwarding calls to a specific archive system through URL rewrite (IP address, service name, port number)
- Adding HTTPS security to the transmission
- Adding/replacing SAP SecKey identification, including link expiration to unsecured calls with custom security certificate
