Changing the root folder location for data files

Changing the root folder location is disruptive to the flow of work in Oracle DMW and should only be done with caution. However, you can modify the location if necessary:

1. Create new root folders in the new location for both watched and archive folders.
2. Change the value of the LSH profiles to the new location. See Register root folders for File Watcher watched folders and Register root folders for File Watcher archive folders.
3. Restart the Distributed Processing Server that includes the File Watcher service. Instructions are in the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub System Administrator's Guide.
4. Open each study File Watcher in Edit mode and click Regenerate to apply the new settings in the study; see Create study File Watchers.

The system then:

• Migrates all existing Study File Watchers to the new root folders.
• Processes any files already submitted for data load at the time of the change.

The system does not move any files. You must:

• Determine which files have not been loaded, if any, and move them to the new location.
• Determine which loaded files have not been archived or deleted, if any, and move or remove them.
