Change repository home
By default the repository is located at “$TOMCAT_HOME/repository” but you can change to other location.
Understanding the contents of repository folders
Section titled “Understanding the contents of repository folders”Into “$TOMCAT_HOME/repository” there are three folder “index”, “cache” and “datastore”.
| Folder | Backup | Description |
|---|---|---|
| index | No | The folder which contains the Lucene search engine indexes. The content of that folder can be rebuild. Although is not mandatory backup this folder, we recommend doing it. |
| cache | No | The folder which contains the application cached files. For example, for previewing documents, sometimes is needed to transform the original document to other format. The conversion consumes a lot of hardware resources, for this reason the application stores these converted files to be reused later. The content of that folder can be cleaned without major problems. Although is not mandatory backup this folder, we recommend doing it. |
| datastore | Yes | The folder which contains all binary data of the documents. Is mandatory mandatory backup this folder otherwise the binary data of the documents could be lost on a server hardware fail. |

Section titled “Troubleshooting”Windows mapped network disk is not working
Section titled “Windows mapped network disk is not working”Seems there’re restrictions using network unit ( mapped with “net use” command line ) and application running from services. To solve it is necessary to create a link between UNC and the file system.
