Using External File Vaulting
Content files persisted in external vaults are retrieved faster than content files stored in Oracle as binary large objects (BLOBS). Although the use of file vaults can add complexity to backup and recovery operations, vault management can be simplified by using the xconfmanager to set the wt.property wt.fv.forceContentToVault = true. This causes all content to vault to the DefaultCacheVault, keeping it out of Oracle BLOBs, without requiring creation of a vaulting rule. In the event that multiple vaults must be implemented at your site, a vaulting rule applied to the User domain (where CAD documents are created) can direct content to vault appropriately.

Following a custom checkin, the user is able to see CAD documents to be vaulted only in the default cache folder until an explicit revaulting action (executed through the replication schedule set by the administrator) is executed.
