Understanding the Windows file system link

The Windows file system link connects the Publisher to Windows file system folders. The link includes the BlueCielo File Publishing Service, which can be installed on one or more file servers. The service can be configured to monitor one or more folders (and subfolders recursively) on the local computer and to associate a publishing job with each folder. At a specified interval, the service automatically registers for the associated publishing jobs documents that are added to the folders. The folders can be shared on the network for easy access by users. After registering the documents, the BlueCielo File Publishing Service moves the files to a source folder on the Publisher computer from which they are published to the destination system. This link creates folders in the destination file system, if necessary.

This link is ideal for organizations that have another enterprise system in which released documents need to be available, for example, an extranet or an enterprise knowledge management system.

When used as a source system, the document properties to be published can be specified in an Microsoft Excel (2003 or higher) file. When used as a destination system, the published properties can be specified in the BlueCielo Application Manager and values saved in an XML file.
