Configuring the Base Directory Path

A database only (not shown in the UI) global level common profile switch BASE_DIR_PATH_FOR_GATEWAY_FOLDERS is available for providing the base path for all incoming, outgoing and E2B attachments folders.

Users can configure the base directory path of a machine or network shared path through this switch. This path is suffixed with values provided in new configurations and all incoming, outgoing and E2B attachment folders are created under base directory only. This profile switch is mandatory for the Oracle cloud customers whereas it is optional for the on-premise customers. With this optional set up, on-premise customers can retain their existing folder structure when upgrading from older version of Oracle Argus Safety. Cloud customers would need to reconfigure their gateway folders based on the new architecture. When the BASE_DIR_PATH_FOR_GATEWAY_FOLDERS is set, make sure to create the base directory path along with the enterprise name.

For the example:

If BASE_DIR_PATH_FOR_GATEWAY_FOLDERS is set to C:\BASE_DIR for the enterprise ENT_DEFAULT, then the folder C:\BASE_DIR\ENT_DEFAULT is created.

If the Incoming Folder is set to AGECNCY\Incoming, Outgoing Folder to AGECNCY\Outgoing and ICSR Outgoing Attachment Folder to AGECNCY\OutAttachment, the actual incoming folder path would be C:\BASE_DIR\ENT_DEFAULT\AGECNCY\Incoming. The same standard applies for the outgoing and attachment folder too.

If the BASE_DIR_PATH_FOR_GATEWAY_FOLDERS is not set, the Incoming, Outgoing and Attachment folders could have the complete directory path.
