    Is it possible to store the documents that are uploaded within Processmanager with documentmanager not in the Processmanager DB, but on a fileshare?

    sure, if you're able to do it in a workflow. 

    just do a Write File component and supply a directory to which the Workflow service's "logged on account" has permissions to write.

    if you've used the InputFileComponent on your form, then it'll already be in the proper format to use in the Write File component.

    I guess i should slow down a bit - are you asking whether you can do this from within process manager as a console function?  because if that's the case, i'm not aware of any means of doing so.  you can certainly do it via a workflow project though, which you could then link to within process manager.

    i guess more information is required.

    Hello Andrew,

     

    Thank you for the reponse.

     

    Hereby extra information:

    My company is looking for a <st1:stockticker>CMS</st1:stockticker> for all business departments.

    The management is very exited about the functionality of ProcessManager\Docmanager.

    I have some doubts in terms of manageability, backup/restore /size of the Database.

    Default are all the uploaded docs by Docman stored in the ProcessManager Database.

     

    I am looking for a solution to store the documents separate from the Processmanager DB. 

    Is it possible to use Microsoft SQL FileStream with ProcessManager\DocMan to store the Documents on a fileshare?

    Or make a copy of the ProcessManager DB (for every business department) and redirect the documents by the use of ProcessManager profiles?
