Can files be uploaded to different paths

Can files be uploaded to different paths? For example, can file A be uploaded to "D:\Aras\Vault\11SP9\Doc1" and file B be uploaded to "D:\Aras\Vault\11SP9\Doc2"?

  • Hi Michelle,

    the question is hard to answer without context. Server uploads work for any folder that has the proper permission to be accessed by Innovator.

    Your sample paths represent Vault locations. Vault by design use a different permissions and I don´t recommend to play around with these.

    I personally would never use the Vault to store custom files. The vault is automatically filled by innovator. It´s better to separate the Vault from folders used for admin purposes. I for example use a separate folder at C:\temp\Aras to store these kind of files. Look at the "ZIP file" example from Aras at GitHub to get an idea how to make file uploads to a specific path (that is not the Vault).

  • One way to do this is to use the Vault Path Pattern property of the vault item in the Administration > File Handling > Vault menu. This property allows you to specify a pattern for the file path based on the item type, classification, or other properties of the file item.

    Another way to do this is to use the Vault Path Override property of the file item in the File Handling > File menu. This property allows you to specify a custom path for each file item that overrides the default vault path. getting over it

    However, both of these methods require some manual modifications of the vault server configuration files and the Innovator server code tree files. You need to edit the VaultServer.config file in the vault server installation folder and add the new paths as <location> elements under the <vaultLocations> element. You also need to edit the InnovatorServerConfig.xml file in the Innovator server installation folder and add the new paths as <vault> elements under the <vaults> element. You need to restart both servers after making these changes

  • Hi Mavis, thanks for you input! I guess I misunderstood the initial question. Your answer makes much more sense! I never did this kind of Vault modifications, so I am happy to have learned something new Grinning
