Configuring a New Content Service
This procedure applies only to My webMethods Server instances from on-premises installations. You cannot configure a new content service when My webMethods Server is running in a Docker container.
*To configure a new Content Service for the server repository
1. As system administrator: Administration Dashboard > Content > Content Service > Create New Content Service.
2. In the Service Name field, type a name for your new content service and click Next.
The service name is limited from 1 to 255 characters and can contain only alphanumeric ASCII characters with no spaces.
3. Type a physical storage location for your content service.
On Windows, use a valid UNC path. The path is not case-sensitive. For example:
\\server\volume\directory\
On UNIX, use the path to the location of a mounted network storage, for example:
/mounted_location/folder
Note:
The sample paths assume that your network administrator has provided the proper security settings to allow all servers in a cluster to have read/write access to the network file system. If My webMethods Server runs as a Windows service, make sure the user account from which you run the service has the required access privileges for the network file system.
4. Click Submit.
5. Optionally, to make the new content service the default content service, click The Tools icon and then click Set As Default.
