File Vaults and Folders

[borourke]

Our current production system has all the file vaults and folders on a single server. Wondering if it is possible to move the vaults and folders across multiple servers. Thanks in advance!

Windchill doesn't care where the vaults and folders reside. It simply needs the appropriate permissions so it can read/write/delete files and directories.

I set up a new content server for the folders on a separate server, but when I added the new server through the Windchill UI, it still shows all of the old folders on the original server as well as the same folders on the new server. Since the default cache vault resides on the original server, I thought I needed both servers listed. When I try to delete the folders from the original server, I get a message that I cannot delete them because there are still files associated with those folders.

The best way is to move the old folders and structure to the new server, then reconnect them to Windchill through the UI. No need to duplicate the folders.
