Configuring a shared network temporary location for uploads to the Core Service

Before files uploaded to Content Manager are saved to the database, they are placed in a temporary location. By default, this upload location is on the machine where the Content Manager server is installed. But in an outscale scenario, with multiple Content Manager instances running in parallel, all instances must save their uploads to a single temporary upload location: a network folder that all instance must have write access to. This task explains how to specify such a location.

Procedure

  1. Access a machine running one of your Content Manager instances, and navigate to the folder %TRIDION_HOME%.
  2. Open Tridion.ContentManager.config for editing.
  3. Find the binaryContentStorage element and set its temporaryFolder attribute to a shared network location, for example, \\driveforbigstorage\tridion\
  4. Save and close Tridion.ContentManager.config.
  5. From your Windows Start menu, enter services.msc to see running Windows services.
  6. Find the Windows service named Tridion Sites Content Manager Service Host and restart it.
  7. Perform the same steps for all of your other Content Manager instances.
