Repository Configuration

Defines a file system directory to be mounted as a repository.

Remarks

RepositoryConfiguration specifies the settings for a single Windows file system directory to be exposed as a CMIS repository within Grooper.

---

Overview

Each instance of this class defines a logical repository, mapping a directory (and its subfolders/files) to a Grooper CMIS repository.

---

Usage

1. Set BasePath
   Specify the UNC path of the directory to expose (e.g. \\Server\Share\Path).
2. Set RepositoryName and Description (optional)
   Provide a display name and description for clarity.
3. Set ReadOnly
   Enable to prevent write operations through Grooper.
4. Set EnableSearch
   Enable to allow full-text and metadata search via Windows Search (directory must be indexed).

---

Notes

• UNC paths are recommended for compatibility.
• Enabling search requires Windows Search to be running and the directory to be indexed.
• ReadOnly restricts Grooper operations only; it does not affect NTFS permissions.
