Alfresco - Want to Change Content store path

I want to change the existing content store path of my Alfresco instance just because it is about to get full. One solution is to move existing content store at another location and change the path in alfresco.global.properties but I want to write new data at another location and read the existing from the current one.

Solution

  • You can't edit the "dir root" property because that folder contains files needed for a proper Alfresco boot up. However, you can use the Alfresco "content store" feature to simply add any number of additional stores.

    Read up on content stores.

    I just now see that Krutik used the same links as I did, sorry about that. If you're using CE you can still use/add your own content stores. The feature missing is the OOTB "content store selector" where you would choose the concrete content store by setting a property/aspect on a specific node.
