We recently upgraded our IFS from apps 9 to 10 , there is one issue we are struggling with. We have document attached to different transaction stored in file repository of file server. the problem is we have to give them back all the permissions again in new environment. Is there a easy to transfer their location from external file system to db location.

Hi,
If you setup a repository in the upgraded database that points to the same file location as in the Apps 9 database, you should be able to access the files via Docman as before. Then, if you want to, you can use our built-in transfer assistant to move the files of document classes you decide, to the database repository.
If you meant something else, try to provide some more details and example data, perhaps also screenshots.
It might also help to have a look at the following tables to get an understanding on how the file references works:
edm_file_tab - Here we keep the information about each file connected to a document revision
edm_location_tab - The repository information
Good luck!
Thanks

It sounds unsafe. If someone would know that path they could access the files directly. Only the application server needs to access it.
