Repository Tab (Network File System)
This topic applies when you select Network File System for the File Repository field.
There are two data repositories (folders in which Unifier data is stored), which Unifier requires you to configure. There are additional repositories, such as the archive directory for project archiving, that are used with specific features, as described below. These can be located on a local but separate hard drive, or on a mapped drive on your network.
- File Repository: In this field, select Network File System from the drop-down list.
Notes:
- It is important to plan where these directories are located because they are where Unifier data is stored. Any subsequent upgrade installations need to point to these same two directories in order for Unifier to ‘see' data previously entered.
- These repositories, in addition to your database, should be backed up regularly.
- When naming the folders, be sure there are no spaces in the folder names.
File Directory: Enter (or Browse to) the path where uploaded or attached files are stored. This repository is for storing documents within the Document Manager, such as drawings, plans, Word documents, etc. These files will be available for viewing or attaching to business process forms within Unifier. It also stores imported schedule files.
Notes:
- These files must be on a shared drive that is accessible by other server machines that are operating in a clustering environment.
- Ensure that the user who has started the Unifier application is a network user and has access to network file system.
- Ensure that the File directory value is same in all the machines in the cluster. Use the repository machine name or IP address to specify the shared drive location.
- Ensure that enough disk space is available on the network file system.
Index Directory: This is the pathname to the location where the Search Index files are stored.
Log File Directory: The folder where the log files are stored.
