Creating attached documents directories in a single-computer environment

The first step in configuring attached documents is to create attached document directories for storing files. This task details the procedure for both WebSphere® Application Server and WebLogic Server.

Procedure

  1. Create a doclinks directory on the computer where the document files are stored. For example:
    Operating system Doclinks directory
    Windows c:\doclinks
    UNIX /home/doclinks
  2. Share the drive so that users can connect to it.
  3. Create the following subdirectories under the doclinks directory:
    • attachments
    • default
    • diagrams
    • images
  4. Depending on which application server you are using, complete the steps for either WebSphere Application Server or a WebLogic Server:
    Option Description
    If you used the WebSphere Application Server Verify that the subdirectories were created as described in Step 3, and stop here.
    If you used the WebLogic Server Continue to Step 5.
  5. Create another directory named WEB-INF.
  6. Copy the web.xml file from the deployment folder into the directory that you created in Step 5:
    Option Description
    Windows c:install_home\deployment
    UNIX install_home/deployment

    The system contains other web.xml files. Be sure to copy the correct one. The file contains information for mapping MIME objects to customize.

  7. Verify that the subdirectories were created as described in Step 3 and Step 5.
