Installation
Warning
As part of the document handover to an audit-proof storage, the documents are usually stored with a "retention time" (retention period). The retention period is passed from d.3 or ecspand to d.ecs storage manager together with the document.
The configuration of the retention periods in d.3 or ecspand must correspond to those of the storage systems as errors can occur otherwise, which may lead to a document that cannot be stored. Usually a minimum, a maximum, and a default retention time must be configured on these systems.
Additional information can be found in the respective documentation for the system to be connected.
Warning
Some external storage systems with respective modules available for d.ecs storage manager only ensure non-editable/non-deletable document storage only then, if certain software options or licenses are installed on the respective system.
The supported storage systems are listed in the chapter d.ecs storage manager modules.
Furthermore, d.ecs storage manager features an interface which can be used to add additional storage drivers to the application.
Thus, different storage systems using different storage technologies can be added to an existing system later.

d.ecs storage manager has two possible interfaces for communication with the leading systems (d.3/ ecspand). d.3 and d.ecs storage manager use a combination of a directory structure and a database table for the communication, while ecspand uses the API interface provided by d.ecs storage manager.
