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
