Question
How to configure File System document storage for IBM Sterling FileGateway?
Cause
"filegateway_ui.myFgStoragetype=file" has been defined in customer_overrides.properties but documents are still being stored in the database.
Answer
The setting "filegateway_ui.myFgStoragetype=file" applies to the myFilegateway UI only.
The filegateway_ui.properties file contains properties which control the location of the Help systems for Sterling File Gateway and myFileGateway, as well as several other user interface settings.
myFgStoragetype
Storage type to use for new documents sent through myFileGateway. Possible values are:
default - use the system default
db - store documents in database
file - store documents in file system
To change this value, use the customer_overrides.properties file. For example to set it to database:
filegateway_ui.myFgStoragetype=db
If you want all document storage to be done on the file system then you need to define this
either in jdbc.properties as "defaultDocumentStorageType=FS"
or
in customer_overrides.properties as "jdbcService.defaultDocumentStorageType=FS"
Note: if setting the entry in jdbc.properties it is necessary to add the value to jdbc.properties.in, stop SI and run setupfiles.sh in order to make the change to jdbc.properties permanent.
