According to the below post,

Deprecation of the FTP and Shared repository types in Docman in 24R1 - a heads-up | IFS Community

“We are considering deprecating the Database repository option as well at some point, but that has not been decided yet”

IFS is planning to remove Database type repositories from Document Management in future. Can we please get a comment on whether this is confirmed? If so, from which IFS cloud release onwards?

Hi,

We have no plans for that right now. May I ask about the background for your question? We want to know as much as possible about different customizations, migrations, integrations that might rely on the Database repository type in Docman.

Thanks!

Hi ​@Mathias Dahl ,

Thanks for your input.

We have a customer with a database type repository who is planning to upgrade to IFS Cloud, and they wanted to explore the options available in IFS Cloud since they have a problem of maintaining the database due to the large volume of attachments.

While going through the community, ran into your post mentioned above and needed to confirm whether database repositories will not be an option in the future.

Thanks,

Dinusha

Thanks ​@DinushaNuwan, Then I recommend they stay with Database repository type and migrate to File Storage once they have upgraded. Is this Remote or Cloud deployed?

Hi ​@Mathias Dahl , 

They haven’t decided on that yet.

Thanks,
