The default system content service stores files in the My webMethods Server database. You cannot modify the system content service configuration.

If users of My webMethods Server store large files (1 MB or larger) or a large number of files, the system content service may not be adequate for your file storage needs. In such cases, you should configure a network content service to provide higher capacity. My webMethods Server supports network file storage by the use of a file system.

On Windows, the file system content service uses a UNC (Uniform Naming Convention) path to connect to a network file storage device. On UNIX, the network file storage must be mounted as a local resource. To support cluster high availability, the network file storage device should provide failover support.

For information on configuring a network content service, see Configuring a New Content Service.
