URI Mapper Service

This service assigns URIs to GUIDs (globally unique identifiers). It is required to ensure that resources and relevant metadata can be retrieved correctly even if the resource URIs change, for example, when documents are moved to another folder.

Generally, resources in KM are identified and accessed on the basis of their URIs. To ensure that resources can still be identified and accessed when their URIs change, these URIs are mapped to GUIDs. The mappings are made in a database. For consistency purposes, the URI Mapper Service can be used only by one client (thread) at a time by blocking the access to all other clients (threads). The blocking time might be additionally tuned by the lock acquisition timeout property. By default, its value is 180 seconds. The possible values vary from 10 seconds to 600 seconds.

The URI mapper service is activated in the KM standard configuration. No further configuration is necessary.
