Understanding Content Management Image Setup

2.9.1 Understanding Content Management Image Setup

The PeopleSoft Portal Solutions can upload, access, and render image files by way of an FTP service. To render image files as actual images, the FTP service must exist in a web server directory in the peoplesoft domain. To accomplish this, you must complete the following tasks:

Extend the web server directory to include the folder path ps/images/portal_pa/.

See the task Extending the Web Folder Directory.
Create an FTP service on the web server machine with an absolute path to the web server directory extended folder path.
Set the FTP path in the EPPCM_IMAGE URL identifier definition to point to the created FTP service.
Update the Image Attachment URL Path field on the Portal Solutions Installation Options page (select Portal Administration, System Data, Installation Options) to contain the web server relative or absolute URL of the extended path that contains the image files from the FTP server.

Note:

The web server directory extension and the FTP service should only be installed on a single web server that is used by the PeopleSoft Portal Solutions database. For clustered web servers, all image attachments are rendered and stored on a single web server that you select.
