Selecting a Storage Mode

Before using the API, developers need to define a persistence data storage strategy. This decision involves the following considerations:

>Selecting a Storage Mode

>Deciding the Persistence Device Storage Strategy

>Configuring the Custom Persistence Device

>Implementing the Callback Functions

>Using the Diagnostic Information

>Implementing Custom Persistence Device for License Managers

Developer needs to select an appropriate storage mode for the persistence data storage. The following image provides a detailed description on the available storage modes and corresponding storage devices.

>Default mode: The persistence data storage is controlled by Sentinel RMS. The developer cannot use or store the persistence data.

>No Device mode: Do not store the persistence data.

>Custom Persistence Device mode: Use a user specified external storage device or location for storing the persistence data.

If you have decided to use the custom persistence device (CPD) mode, let’s move to the next step in the process of planning the strategy for storing the persistence data using a custom persistence device.
