For example, a storage set can be used to maintain data from different application groups that 
must retain documents for the same length of time and require the data to be kept on the 
same type of media. Different storage sets can be created to handle different data retention 
requirements. One storage set can be set up to maintain data on cache-only storage, and 
another storage set can be set up to point to an archive storage to maintain data for three 
years on optical media. Business practices and legal requirements determine the storage 
management design that is required. 
For most implementations of Content Manager OnDemand for i, a storage set is created by 
creating a migration policy.
Figure 3-2 shows the window where you add a storage set. When you define a storage set, 
you must specify the report load type. For our example, we create a storage set, 
StatementStorage. It stores credit card statements from the customers. The load type is 
Fixed.

on page 89. 
3.1.2  Application groups
After you create a storage set, the next object to create is an application group. We create an 
application group that is called Credit Card Statements. An application group represents the 
data that you store in Content Manager OnDemand. It contains a collection of one or more 
applications that contain common indexing and storage management requirements. The 
application group contains the database information that is used to load, search for, and 
retrieve reports. The application group also defines the data that will be loaded into the 
database. 
Figure 3-3 on page 48 shows the Add an Application Group window. For our example, we 
create an application group that is called Credit Card Statements. All applications that are 
related to credit card statements are under this application group.
