Map the Data Folder to an External Drive

When you back up the RiskVision Server, the folders, such as reports, dashboards, and attachments, are copied to the directory%AGILIANCE_HOME%\backup where the server is installed. From version 6.5 SP1, you can map a universal naming convention path of an external drive to a folder present in the %AGILIANCE_HOME%\data directory.

This means you can configure the server to save folders directly in a separate system when evidence is added or when a chart or dashboard is archived. For example, you can configure the dashboards folder to an external drive, such as \\RiskVision_server\\Data to save all archived dashboards. 

Prerequisites for Configuring the Data Folder

Obtain the name of the computer and the folder path(s) to which you want to map the dashboards, reports and attachments folders. Make sure that the RiskVision Server host has sufficient privileges to move the data folder contents to the external drive and to read the folder contents during the backup.

To configure the data folder:

1. Go to the directory%AGILIANCE_HOME%\config and open theagiliance.properties file using a text editor. 
2. Add the following properties, then set each property to a new location other than the directory%AGILIANCE_HOME%\backup.

   save.folder.reports= <\\\\StorageServer\\RiskVision_server\\Data\\attachments>
 save.folder.dashboards=<\\\\StorageServer\\RiskVision_server\\Data\\attachments>
save.folder.attachments=<\\\\StorageServer\\RiskVision_server\\Data\\attachments>

   Where \\StorageServer is the computer name and RiskVision_server\\Data is where reports, dashboards, and attachments folders are saved. Note that you can map each folder to a different external drive.

3. Restart the RiskVision Tomcat service to apply the latest changes.

The contents in reports, dashboards, and attachments folders will remain in the%AGILIANCE_HOME%\data directory, but the folders that are mapped to an external drive will begin storing data immediately. Once the Daily Server and Database Hot Backup job are run, the contents in the external mapped drive in the %AGILIANCE_HOME%\ directory are backed up.

You must manually move the content within the previously archived folders to the newly-mapped drives so that your users can continue to access it.
