Customer has below question raised via case G2346682, could someone please provide an input on this?

Description:
We have PDF's for example attached to invoices inside IFS line items to access these files directly.

Can these attachments be backed up to the FTP site? ftpna.ifsworld.com/100469


We are looking for a way to access the attachments, exporting them all to FTP with some type of identifier referencing the order they came from could be one method. Allowing us access to the attachments via the back end could be another method. Open to suggestions.

​Hi @Chathurika Wijeratne  ,

I assume you mean that the document files are attached in the database repository.

You can change the repository per document class in the EDM Basic Data:

When you have set the repository for the FTP, you can change it for the existing document files as follow:

Note, these are printscreens from IFS10, not sure if this is also applicable in IFS9.

 

Hope this answer your question,

Robert

What's the underlying scenario here? How many files are we talking about? etc.
