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

Question

We are looking to move all documents currently stored in D:\appian\_admin\accdocs* to another server\drive. 
 We assume this is possible. Can you please advise what config changes are required for Appian to access these folders from another location? 
 thanks

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: //wlifulfild01/dev/Appian/_admin/accdocs1 //wlifulfild01/dev/Appian/_admin/accdocs2 //wlifulfild01/dev/Appian/_admin/accdocs3 4) restart Appian & JBoss (refer startup & shutdown procedures)

There are few ways to do this. Please review these configurations:
