titleOtherwise click here to follow eFilestore replication instruction


Because document
Warning

Document replication can take hours or days, so it is recommended you complete this step as soon as you have confirmation that you are migrating PICS to Pellcomp hosting.

 


eFileStore is the depository of all uploaded documents within PICS. The number of files can range from tens to thousands. The replication uploads a slow trickle of these documents over time from your servers to Pellcomps.

This page attempts to detect if you are currently logged into the server running the eFileStore service based on the IP address of the eFileStore URL. 

Because replication from on-premise to Pellcomp hosting is a new feature, it is likely you will need to download the latest eFileStore installer using the link provided to upgrade your on-premise eFileStore .

Once eFileStore is at the correct version the eFileStore Config application can be launched using the button provided (you may need to press the [F5] key to refresh the page). 



On the Replication tab, click the Replicate to Pellcomp Hosting button. Then click the Save all settings button. 

If you receive an error saving the settings you will need to close the tool and start it again using Run as Admin permissions. 

When prompted you should restart the eFileStore services as the changes will not take effect until the services are restarted. 

Replication will normally take several hours, days, or weeks depending on the number of files, so keep an eye on Replication Progress from the File Data tab.  

If replication stops progressing close to 100% then there may be a few files which that can't replicate. You can report on these replication issues using the Launch eFileStore Health Check app button. 

Once the eFileStore config tool is closed the wizard will progress to the Zip and upload stage.

This will reconfigure your IIS settings to redirect all FCA traffic from your old PICSWebService URL to Pellcomp's hosting servers. 

The redirect is made as each device contacts the old PICSWebService URL and means you do not need to manually change the PICSWebService URL on each device.

Once each device makes contact with the new PICSWebService URL on Pellcomps servers, it will replace the old URL with the new one.


Enter the FCA Web Service URL provided to you by the Pellcomp implementation team.

Once this setting is saved, all incoming FCA connections to your on-premise PICS will be instructed to redirect to the Pellcomp hosting URL.

There is also a link to a guide on how to manually setup set up redirects in IIS. This option is useful if you intend to immediately archive or disable internal access to your PICS database.
