Configuring the Location to Save Thumbnails
By default,
PTC FlexPLM saves all thumbnails to the
<Windchill>/codebase/images directory. If you want to save thumbnails to a vaulted location or another type of storage area network (SAN) location, then perform the configuration steps for
Unix or
Windows.
There are two main reasons this type of configuration is used:
• To help prevent data loss if the app server has a catastrophic failure
• To provide a shared location for all servers to use the same images directory when running PTC FlexPLM in a cluster environment
