Configuring File-based Document Management System (DMS)
Configuring File-based Document Management System (DMS)
Business Process Server by default uses database for storing and managing documents. However, you can also configure Business Process Server to use File based DMS for storing documents. Configure Document dataslot storage before you start using Business Process Server. If you migrate from one Document dataslot storage to another, then the data cannot be migrated to the new DMS.
To configure a file based DMS with your Business Process Server, you update <OEBPS_HOME>\conf\dms.properties configurations as instructed below:
1. Provide the values for the following properties in <OEBPS_HOME>/conf/dms.properties:
Property
Description
dms.storage
Set this property to ‘fs’
dms.fs.protocol
This property value should be empty. For example, dms.fs.protocol=
dms.fs.root
Specify an existing folder on local file system where Business Process Server is installed. This folder is used for storing documents attached to Document dataslots in Business Process Server applications.
2. Create a folder with the name docdsroot within the location specified by the dms.fs.root property in the dms.properties file available under the <OEBPS_HOME>/conf directory. The documents are stored in the specified folder on the local file system.
3. Restart all application servers and Business Process Server to use the file based DMS for Document dataslot storage.
