Abstract

A method for file handling in a hierarchical storage environment includes initiating a new document notification process in response to receipt of a new document. The document notification process includes evaluating enhanced metadata of the new document via a relationship analyzing process to produce a priority list defining a likelihood of possible access, where the enhanced metadata includes a set of keywords and/or references from the new document. The method additionally includes storing the new document in a storage tier of a hierarchical storage environment according to the priority list.
