Designate a Web-enabled path to make documents available from the Internet World Wide Web.
When you create a Storage ID for Web-enabled use, use your Igate, not your Imaging server. Store images on the Igate under your web directory, for example www.route/inetpub or yourcompany.com. Then define the normal internal network path to that server.
Establish Storage ID naming conventions and train employees on your documents saving requirements for Web-enabled Storage IDs. You do not want sensitive employee or vendor information available this way, for example. We recommend that all Storage IDs intended for Internet use begin with the word "WEB," for example: WEB-PRODUCTS. Train employees to know when to use these Web-enabled Storage IDs.
Web storage locations are defined in theDefault Document Storage Location ID For WOE control maintenance record.
To create a web path:
From the System > System Files > Document Imaging menu, select Document Storage Location Maintenance to display the Document Storage Location Maintenance screen.
Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.
Use the Down Arrow key to place the cursor on the storage ID to which you want access from the web.
Use the Path hot key, and enter the path to the directory containing documents you want available from the Internet.
For example, entering a path, such as /webdocs/images makes all documents stored in the www.mycompany.com/webdocs/images directory available to Eclipse Web Commerce software. For details, consult with your company's System Administrator for Eclipse Web Commerce.
In the Path Subroutine field, enter the normal internal network path to that server in the Network Path column after you have created a Storage ID for Web-enabled use. For better performance, use your Web server, not your Imaging server.
Press Esc to save the path and exit the screen.
