PAW Content Store

[tm123]

Hey guys,

Does anyone here know where are the Views, Books and other Workspace Content stored physically? In IBM Documentation, they talk about Workspace Content Store, but I could not find any information about what this Content Store is. Is it in file system, or is it something buried into docker container.

Thanks

or is it something buried into docker container.

- Yes. PAW has 2 DB containers - MongoDB and CouchDB. I'm almost sure that the content store is on MongoDB

Thank you,

I have seen MongoDB in the list of PAW Services, but is there any client tool that can be used to read this type of Database?

I doubt you want this...

1. Select MongoDB client you like
2. Manage to connect to MongoDB located in Docker container. Just an example: https://forums.docker.com/t/how-mongodb ... b/44763/19
3. MongoDB is a NoSQL database. If you are not familiar with it, it could be a challenge
4. The database structure and it objects' names can be uninterpretable (like Cognos content store tables CMOBJPROPS16)
