Changing the storage location for scan data on an Enterprise Vault server

An Enterprise Vault server that runs the FSA Reporting web service receives FSA Reporting scan data and metadata from the file servers that FSA Reporting scans. The Enterprise Vault server stores this data temporarily until the FSA Reporting web service uploads the data to the FSA Reporting databases.

In configurations where a large number of FSA Reporting scans occur, the scans can take longer to complete if there is limited disk space where Enterprise Vault stores the scan data.

You can set the storage location for the scan data by using the WSTempFilePath registry value. By default this registry value does not exist, and Enterprise Vault stores the temporary files in the FSAReports\ReportingTempDir folder of the Enterprise Vault installation folder.

We recommend that you change the storage location to one that has more space.

To change the storage location for scan data on an Enterprise Vault server

  1. Start the registry editor on the Enterprise Vault server.
  2. Go to the following registry key:

    On a 32-bit installation of Windows:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
 \SOFTWARE
  \KVS
   \Enterprise Vault
    \FSA
     \Reporting

    On a 64-bit installation of Windows:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
 \SOFTWARE
  \Wow6432Node
   \KVS
    \Enterprise Vault
     \FSA
      \Reporting
  3. If the string value WSTempFilePath does not exist, create this value under the key. Use the value to specify the path for the FSA Reporting scan data.

    The path must be a local path. On a clustered Enterprise Vault server the path must be on a shared disk.

    The path must not exceed 60 characters, including spaces.

  4. Exit from the registry editor.
  5. Restart the IIS Admin Service on the Enterprise Vault server.
