Understanding Storage of Resource Resume Attachments

PeopleSoft Resource Management enables you to attach a resume document to a resource profile to provide more information about a resource's skills and background. The resume attachments are indexed so that they can be evaluated by Resource Matching. Staffing coordinators and managers can also view and print the resume document for a resource when evaluating candidates, and they can attach the resume to an email and send it to a prospective customer.

PeopleSoft supports SFTP (secure FTP) for attachments and indexing by Search Framework.

Use the URL Maintenance page for the RS_RESUMES URL identifier and enter the URL in the format ftp://<machinename>/directory name. The <machinename> is the physical name by which the FTP server is identified on the network. You can include the directory name on the server where the resume attachments are stored, or you can store the resume attachments in the root directory of the FTP server. If you store the resume attachments anywhere but the root of the FTP server, it is necessary to append the directory name to the URL.

The RS_RESUMES URL must have a proper userid and encrypted password defined via the URL Properties link on the URL Maintenance page. Also, RS_RESUMES much be added to the Search Framework Attachment URLID list.
