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

Brandon

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

    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)
