Setting Up File Attachment Storage on a File Server

12.3 Setting Up File Attachment Storage on a File Server

To store file attachments on a file server:

Verify that your server has adequate disk storage to store the project and activity documents.
Select PeopleTools, Utilities, Administration, Maintain URLs.
On the URLs search page, search for and select the URL PC_PROJECTS_DOC_ATTACHMENT.

Note:

PeopleSoft Project Costing delivers this URL.
On the URL Maintenance page, enter the URL path to the designated server in the following format:
```
sftp://<servername>/
```
Note:

Any acceptable PeopleTools URL definition can be used here including record:// and https://.

The following are examples of some valid storage location URLs:
```
record://MYAPP_ATT_CNTNT

ftps://ftp_user:usr_pwd@ftps.example.com:6000/images
```
If you create an optional directory for document storage on the server, include the directory name when you cite the path. You can also store attachments in the root directory of the server.
Enter the user ID and encrypted password using the URL Properties page.
Click Save.
On the Installation Options - Project Costing page, in the File Attachment Options section, select the File Server option and enter the home directory where you store the attachment files.
Click Save.
