Docman Repository - File Storage in multiple locations

Hi Docman Team,

I decided to create a new post, as it might make it too easy for others to find the correct answers through a simple search. Tried to find answers through existing posts but couldn't find any.

• IFS Cloud Document Repositories

Here is the context of my situation: I am currently working on an IFS Cloud implementation for a defence sector customer with operations across multiple countries. The IFS Cloud environment is hosted on-premise. Due to legal requirements, the defence customer must store documents within the respective countries where their operations are located.

At the moment File storage only support one location and even though the use of FTP and SHARED repository types has been disabled by default. A system administrator can enable it by changing the value of the object property FTP_SHARED_OVERRIDE in the object LU Edm Location from DISABLED to FORCE_ENABLE_DEPRECATED_FEATURE.

​@Mathias Dahl commented that the support for FTP and Shared repositories are not removed yet, and it will not remove it until File Storage has support for multiple SMB shares, or folders.

Based on the above comment I have following questions.

Question 1

Does multiple SMB shares or folders mean multiple server locations? ( according to my customers situation its different countries)

Question 2

It was noted that For managed cloud customers, FTP and Shared document repositories are NOT supported. Can we enable this service by changing the value of the object property FTP_SHARED_OVERRIDE in the object LU Edm Location from DISABLED to FORCE_ENABLE_DEPRECATED_FEATURE.?

Thanks,

Chamath
