dialog.
b. From Object menu select Update.
c. In the Update Folder dialog select the new vault location for the folder.
d. Click OK.
Creating and Updating Mounts
• Access status. If Read Only is selected, the folder is not available for storing
uploaded files, although it remains accessible for download requests. A folder
is automatically marked read-only when the physical storage location it
represents becomes full. You may also want to mark a folder as read-only to
prevent uploading of additional files when you are changing a folder's mount
location.
• Enabled status. A folder must be enabled before it can be used to store content
files, and it must be mounted before it can be enabled.
1. Select the folder from the tree on the left side of the Vault Configuration
dialog.
2. Select Delete from the Object menu.
If the selected folder is empty, the preceding steps delete it. If the selected folder
is not empty, you can make it possible to delete by changing rules to move files
from this vault to another vault and by performing revaulting.
A mount is the association between a folder and a host. When you create or update
a mount, you specify how the Windchill method server running on the host
accesses a specific file storage location on a host.
Select Object > Mount to mount the selected object. Select Mounts > Update
Mount to modify an existing mount. Mounts > Unmount removes an association
between folder and host.
Note: All folders must be mounted to all available hosts. Otherwise, a method
server running on a host without a mount is unable to access content files when a
download operation is requested. When a folder is mounted to more than one host,
all mount paths must point to the same physical location.
When defining or updating a mount, you must specify the following:
• The folder to be mounted on the specified host system.
• The path to the physical storage location represented by the folder. If a mount
is directed to a nonexistent path, uploads to and downloads from this folder
will fail.
