Editing default file paths in System Properties for two computers and a dedicated HTTP server

After you modify the location of the doclinks directory, you can use the Systems Properties application to edit the specified file paths in the system. These steps are for WebSphere® Application Server and WebLogic Server, and systems running on Windows or UNIX.

Before you begin

You must have authorization to edit file paths in the Attached Documents action.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the system and go to System Configuration. Select Platform Configuration then System Properties.
  2. Configure the Attached Documents actions is described in the following table:
    Property Description Global value
    mxe.doclink.doctypes.defpath The default file directory to use for folders in the library that do not have a default path specified in the database.

    Windows:H:\doclinks

    UNIX: /d01/doclinks

    mxe.doclink.maxfilesize The maximum size (in MB) for a file that you can upload to the Attached Documents Library folder.

    Use the default value of 10 MB (10 = 10 MB) or replace it with a lesser value.

    Do not set the maximum file size to a value that exceeds the computer system capacity. If you do, a system error, OutOfMemory, occurs and the application server shuts down. To correct this error, change the value to less than 10 MB and restart the application server.

    If the value is set to 0, the system allows all file sizes to be uploaded. However, there is the risk of OutOfMemory errors if a user uploads a large file size that exceeds system capacity. To correct this error, change the value to less than 10 MB and restart the application server.

    mxe.doclink.path01

    The HTTP server path to link documents that are attached records. Used to convert specified file paths of folders to URLs.

    Use the following statement: Default path of a folder = URL from where the files are served

    Windows: H<PATH>\doclinks=http://dochost/

    UNIX: /d01/doclinks=http://dochost

    mxe.doclink.multilang.

    aix.websphere

    Indicate whether the application is running on AIX® WebSphere Application Server platform. Default value is false.

    Change the value to true if it is running on AIX WebSphere Application Server platform.

    Set the value to false if the application is running on other platforms, such as a system other than WebSphere Application Server on AIX.

    In the mxe.doclink.path01 property, the dochost in the path must be a fully qualified server name.

  3. Restart the application server.
