9.12 Configure Internal Service (Document Upload/ Download)

This step can be ignored if it has already been configured as part of any previous IR/ML installation.

The Document Upload /Download feature has changed and can now be configured to use Internal service for document upload/download instead of the earlier ExeWebService.

To facilitate internal service for document upload/ download, perform the following configurations:

  1. Create the directories download, upload, TempDocument, and Temp in the local path of the Web application server and provide Read/Write permission.
    • To find the exact location, execute the following query in the CONFIG schema:

      select localpath from web_server_info

    • To create directories with Read/Write permission, execute the command:

      mkdir -m 777 download upload TempDocument Temp

  2. Create DocStorage directory in the FTPSHARE location of APP tier and provide Read/Write permission.
    • To find the exact location, execute the query in the CONFIG schema:

      select ftpdrive from app_server_info

    • To create a directory with Read/Write permission, execute the command:

      mkdir -m 777 DocStorage

By default, the parameter DOCUMENT_SERVICE_TYPE_EXTERNAL value is set to FALSE in the Configuration table in CONFIG schema and hence the application “ExeWebService” will not be used. It is recommended that the value be set to FALSE and use the Internal service for document upload/ downloads. If you intend to continue using the External ExeWebService, set the value to TRUE.

Navigate to $FIC_HOME/EXEWebService/<WEBSERVER_TYPE> directory of WEB tier and type ./ant.sh. This triggers the creation of the EAR/WAR file EXEWebService.ear/.war. The EAR/WAR file EXEWebService.ear/.war is created in the $FIC_HOME/EXEWebService/<WEBSERVER_TYPE> directory of WEB tier. Redeploy the generated EAR/WAR file onto your configured web application server.
