Configuring the file store

Barr EOM only stores the properties of a document. The actual files are stored in network folders, called file stores. Initially administrators must configure a default file store in the Administration application. Administrators can then define additional file stores for individual sources.

Complete the following steps to configure the default file store.

  1. Double-click the EOM Console icon on your desktop.

  2. On the warning message that displays, click Yes to select the file store now. The Set General Preferences utility displays.

  3. To add a file store, under Document file store path, click Add. The File Store dialog box displays.

  4. Enter the network folder path where the Barr EOM files are stored or click the Browse button to select a folder. The Barr EOM DBM Service will need to have permissions assigned to access the selected network folder. Verify the file store folder does not contain any empty folders. Empty folders in the file store folder will be deleted with the EOM cleanup process runs.

  5. Click OK.

  6. To select a default file store, in the grid click the Default check box cell for the appropriate file store. The default file store will be used when a file store has not been specified.

You can define additional file stores that will be available for selection from individual sources on the More settings tab. The default file store is selected by default. If you select one of the other file stores for a source, all of the documents arriving via that source will be stored in the selected file store.

To modify a file store, select a file store in the grid and click Edit. The File Store dialog box is displayed. To view usage details of the drive where the file store is located, select a file store in the grid and click Details. To remove a file store, select file store with a status of New and click Remove. You can only remove file stores with a New status.

  1. Click Apply to save the changes.
