Assigning default file system storage location for invalid license

If your license for database storage is expired or missing, you can configure Content Delivery to store content on the file system as a fallback scenario.

About this task

If you have specified multiple filesystem storage locations in a number of Storage elements, add the defaultStorage attribute to one of these and set it to true to indicate that this file system location is used for storage in the event of an invalid or absent license.

Procedure

  1. Open cd_storage_conf.xml located in the config\ subdirectory of your Content Delivery root location in a plain-text editor or XML editor.
  2. In the Storage element, set the defaultFilesystem attribute to true to one of your filesystem storage configurations:
    <Storage Type="filesystem" Id="LocalFileSystem_01" defaultFilesystem="true" defaultStorage="true"
    	Class="com.tridion.storage.filesystem.FSDAOFactory">
    	<Root Path="c:\incoming\" />
    </Storage>
  3. Save and close the cd_storage_conf.xml file.
