Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for determining available remote storages in a network to use to replicate a file based on a geographical requirement with respect the file. A determination is made as whether available remote storages satisfy constraints associated with a document class of the file. The constraints include a geographical location at which to replicate the file and a minimum number of replications to create for the file. At least one remote storage of the available remote storages is selected that satisfies the constraints to store at least one copy of the file. The file is replicated to the selected at least one remote storage.

A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product is provided for optimizing a document change or provenance scoring system by weighting sections of a document, scoring the changes for each section, and then combining the change scores for each section to generate an overall change score. An associated report may also be generated that catalogs all of the various scoring elements. The weighted score is stored in a document management system and provides a human document reviewer a level of detail to evaluate document changes. Accordingly, the weighted score reveals whether a document's changes require a brief or detailed review before the document's changes are approved for a next document version.

Document provenance scoring based on changes between document versions

A user annotation entered in association with a content document of a workflow process executed in association with a metadata context-driven processing system is detected. The user annotation entered in association with the content document is analyzed according to a process-level context associated with the content document within the workflow process. Process-level metadata of the workflow process is inferred based upon the analysis of the user annotation according to the process-level context. The inferred process-level metadata is stored as part of the process-level context of the workflow process.

Process-level metadata inference and mapping from document annotations

A method, a system, and a computer program product are provided. In various embodiments, an object is stored within a first data storage system resource indicating a dependency on a second data storage system resource, wherein the dependency requires collocation of the first data storage system resource and the second data storage system resource. An action applied to any one of the first data storage system resource and the second data storage system resource may be controlled based on the dependency.

Dependencies between site components across geographic locations

Creation of a new document-review annotation to a document in an enterprise content management system is detected. The annotation is stored as a separate workflow route selection element. It is determined that the new document-review annotation is of a particular type among sub-types that indicates a subsequent workflow process to be performed. The new document-review annotation is parsed and the particular type is extracted to be used in routing the subsequent workflow process to one of a plurality of possible subsequent workflow processes. The subsequent workflow process is launched.

Launching workflow processes based on annotations in a document

Provided are techniques for linked record declaration of related content items. A graph of nodes representing content items is generated with edges connecting the nodes and representing relationships between the content items. A content item represented by a node in the graph of nodes is selected. In response to selection of the content item, the edges of the graph of nodes are traversed starting from the selected content item to identify other content items. A record is declared in a records management system for the selected content item and the identified content items. A lifecycle policy is associated with the record. The lifecycle policy is applied to the selected content item and the identified content items when processing the record.

Linked record declaration of related content items

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for enhancing the security of content in a records management system. A document is received to be stored as a record in the records management system. A unique combination of an encryption key and encryption parameters is selected for the document. The encryption key and encryption parameters are stored on a server that is different from a server upon which the document is to be stored in the records management system. The document is encrypted using the selected unique combination of encryption key and encryption parameters. The encrypted document is stored in the records management system.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for launching a process based on annotations made to a document in an enterprise content management system. It is determined whether an annotation has been added to a document in the enterprise content management system, wherein the annotation is stored as a separate element and the separate element is associated with the document. It is determined whether the annotation is of a type indicating that a subsequent workflow process is to be performed. In response to determining that the annotation is of a type indicating that a subsequent workflow process is to be performed, the annotation is parsed to obtain information to be used in the subsequent workflow process. The subsequent workflow process is launched. The launch uses at least some of the information obtained from parsing the annotation as parameters in the subsequent workflow process.

A method, computer program product, and computer system for identifying a current amount of resources used by a computing device. A future amount of resources may be estimated for executing a trace for a subsystem of the computing device. One or more rules may be identified for executing the trace for the subsystem of the computing device, wherein the one or more rules may be based upon, at least in part, at least one of the current amount of resources used by the computing device and the future amount of resources for executing the trace for the subsystem of the computing device. It may be determined whether to execute the trace for the subsystem of the computing device based upon, at least in part, the one or more rules.
