Splitting a Database for Existing Interplay Installations
209
c. Lock and unlock the database.
d. After reconnecting to the database with Interplay Access, check if the file is still in
the database.
14. In the Schedule Backups view of the Interplay Administrator, change the backup
location to an external file server.
By default, the _Backup folder is now located on the shared storage workspace. To
avoid filling up the workspace with backups, select Custom and specify the UNC path
for a different external file server. Make sure the Server Execution User has read/write
access to this external file server.
15. (Option) In the Server Settings view of the Interplay Administrator, specify the path for
the shared storage workspace as the root folder for data, as described in step 6 in
“Splitting a Database for New Interplay Installations” on page 203.
Configuring the workgroup.xml File
When you move the file repository to a shared storage workspace, you must edit the
workgroup.xml file to include a path for the file repository share.
This file is located in the Interplay Engine installation directory, for example,
• C:\Program Files\Avid\Avid Interplay Engine\Data\Apache\conf\workgroup.xml
(non-cluster systems)
• S:\WorkgroupData\Apache\conf\workgroup.xml (cluster systems).
n
On a cluster system, the following file might be installed on both nodes: C:\Program
Files\Avid\Avid Interplay Engine\Data\Apache\conf\workgroup.xml. These files are not
currently used and do not need to be edited.
The default database location that you specified during the Interplay Engine installation is
published through this file as a default. The following example shows the section of
workgroup.xml that includes the database location:
<filetransfer>
<path read="true" write="true”>
\\IEServer\WG_Database$
</path>
</filetransfer>
For IEServer, substitute the network name for the Interplay Engine server.
