File Storage Configuration for Object Storage

In order for the system to connect to Object Storage a File Storage Extendable Lookup has to be created with the following information:

  • The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure tenancy details – which can be obtained from the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console(available to customers who purchased Object Storage).

  • The API Key that is used by the system to connect to that Object Storage.

Refer to product documentation on “File Storage” for more details.

Note:

  • Each File Storage Location configuration refers to a combination of Object Storage Tenancy, Compartment and User ID.Since customers can choose to create many Compartments in their Object Storage, access to each such Compartment will require a separate File Storage configuration.

  • It is also recommended that each File Location configuration will reference a different Cloud Infrastructure User ID.This can limit, for example, the system’s access to production files from a non-production environment.

  • API Keys are managed using Key Rings. Key Rings can be shared between File Storage Extendable Lookups but the Keys in these Key Rings cannot be shared across system environments. For example, keys generated for the Development environment cannot be used for the Testing or Production environments.Refer to the following topics in the Framework Administrative User Guide:
