Is it possible to move our Appian document store (existing accdocs folders) onto a different server/location

There are few ways to do this. Please review these configurations:
docs.appian.com/.../Internal_Data.html
docs.appian.com/.../NFS_Mounting.html
docs.appian.com/.../Windows_Share_Setup.html

thanks for that. Are you aware if there are any issues/concerns if we use file system deduplication on the new windows share we intend to use?

Hi again. I hope you can help me a bit more with this. We have now created a new file server for our content and I have "moved" just the "accdocs" folders to the new location (using the exact same folder structure but on a different drive letter). Note that we only want to move the 3 accdocs folders to a different file server. We would prefer all other directories under the "_admin" folder to remain on the existing application server.

I updated the custom properties file as follows: conf.suite.BASE_PATH=E:/appian/_admin (this value was "D:/appian/_admin" previously). According to the links above it seems I should't have to update any other configurations.

Jboss fails to deploy as the system is still referencing the old location somewhere. What have I missed, do I need to update anything else?

thanks in advance

Not sure this would help , but just a guess .... I think the entire base path shouldn't be changed it should only change the location of accdocs path and may be you have to mention that in the custom.properties. since the basepath itself is changed to E:/ it is searching for execution in E drive.

Was anything found on this? Did you have to move the entire _admin folder to the location to get this to work?

Hi. We managed to get this working and have had it running since July 2017 with no problems. Here is the configuration we used (with our paths and server names). We only moved the accdocs folders to the new server.

The following changes are required for Appian to store content on a different server (other than the default location on the application server).

Note: The Appian service account needs Full Control on the remote content server location.

1) stop JBoss and Appian (refer startup & shutdown procedures)

2) move the following directories from the local drive to the new server/location
d:\appian\_admin\accdocs1
d:\appian\_admin\accdocs2
d:\appian\_admin\accdocs3

3) edit the partitions.xml file located in d:\appian\server\_conf so that it points to the new location of the accdocs folders:
<partitions>
<collaboration>
<partition id="1">//wlifulfild01/dev/Appian/_admin/accdocs1</partition>
<partition id="2">//wlifulfild01/dev/Appian/_admin/accdocs2</partition>
<partition id="3">//wlifulfild01/dev/Appian/_admin/accdocs3</partition>
</collaboration>
</partitions>

4) restart Appian & JBoss (refer startup & shutdown procedures)
