Hi All,

As mentioned in several community posts, IFS is phasing out the shared document repository type with the introduction of support for file storage across multiple locations.

According to the IFS documentation, although shared repositories are being deprecated, it is still possible to enable them manually. Customers may continue to use this functionality until IFS releases full support for multiple file storage locations.

I would like to inquire whether any other customers or partners have manually enabled shared repositories and are currently utilizing this setup. Any insights or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chamath

Hi ​@Chamath Kuruppuarachchi 

We have few customers who opted to manually enable the shared repo type. Their main pain point is not having the support to multiple file storage locations in FS. They simply refuse to keep all their documents in a single folder due various reasons. They would continue to use this until IFS provide the full support for multiple locations in FS.

Also, ​@Chamath Kuruppuarachchi, if you have noticed, IFS Cloud only allows you to choose between Database or File Storage options for storing digital signature documents, not any other shared repositories. So, we can hope that shared repositories will be fully deprecated soon.

Thank you for the confirmation Amila. This is what I was looking for. 

The Shared Repositories are hidden in 25R1 but can be re-activated if absolutely necessary (for example multiple SMB locations needed).

I have tested Shared Repositories including multiple locations in 25R1 now, and I have a working demo system where this is configured.

The implementation uses a “non-optimal password encryption” that fails on some passwords. If it does, the password used for the share needs to be changed to a less complex one, iterate until you find a working password.
