Storing files on shared on premises storage
Application Type
Traditional Web, Mobile, Reactive, Service
Service Studio Version
11.12.7 (Build 51940)
Platform Version
11.13.0 (Build 31007)

We are running Outsystems on premises. In our landscape we do have applications who directly acces files on a local machine by using a D partition (internal applications) Currently we only have one internal server running with those internal applications, but we would like to add a second internal machine as the applications become more critical and we would like to have a fallback scenario when a server need to have updates or a reboot. In that situation multiple machines need to access the same files, therefor we would like to create a file server and share it with the machines running the applications. One of the things we need to know is if there is a way to connect a shared location as a D partition and which user need to have access then.

Any suggestions how to setup a landscape where multiple servers need to backup each other and access the same files without really changing a lot in the applications itself

Hi Luca,

You can access a network share using the full UNC path (\\Domain\Shared Folder\...). Use the FileSystem component for that purpose, and setup a Site Property on the Outsystems Module responsible for the file and directory operations on the network share, configuring the root path for this network share.

The Outsystems Front-End server's IIS user must have the proper permissions to the network folder you setup.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Paulo Moreira
