Overview of Document Storage and Retrieval {GSYS-8}

• Storage Type
• If left blank, documents of the category will be stored on the back-end database of the Integrator System.
• Note that for this storage type there is an upper limit of 4 GB per document
• This storage type may have a significant effect on the increase in database size, depending on the size and volume of documents to be stored.
• If set to "BFILE", documents of the category will be stored in a directory directly accessible for read/write operations to the back-end database of the Integrator System through an "Oracle Directory Object". 

• If set to "HTTPURI", documents of the category will be stored at the specified URI / URL provided that the URL is accessible for read/write operations to the back-end database of the Integrator System.

• Storage Directory
• The name of the "Oracle Directory Object" or "URI" where the documents are to be stored or retrieved from.

• A number of reference fields with a prompt and a link to an object (field value) in the Integrator System. The reference fields will create a user defined index to reference documents.

• The File Types (Identified by Mime Type and File Extension) allowed for the Document Category with functionality to restrict the File Size for each to value specified by the System Administrator.

• Functionality to Link Documents to Application Programs {GDOCS-4} that may be used to specify a link between the documents and records in the Integrator System. This link allows the end users to view, email or save documents associated with individual records through the applications programs used to view or maintain the relevant records.
