Files still being written to the old filestroe

Documentum Experts

Please help me with the below issue:

Issue: We recently added a new filestore to our docbase on our Content Server 6.6 but files are still being written to the previous default filestore which is running out of space.

Steps taken:

Below is the capture of the actual steps we ran to create a new filestore by following the attached document which is an ESG document from EMC:

We restarted the docbase and cleared the BOF cache from the content server as the document asks us to do. But still the files are being written to the previous filestore only.

We are on an AIX - Oracle platform.

The last time we did a similar step was over 2 years ago for a different docbase in the same environment that we are currently are in and it worked then.

Please help!

Thanks a ton!

I forgot to update this discussion.

In our case, the issue was due to not cleaning up our Application Server log and also cleaning up our BOF cache on the Content Server.

For some strange reason, we had to do it twice in order for the files to be written to the newly allocated filestore.

I would be glad to answer any questions.

Did you import brand new documents into the docbase or are you simply versioning existing documents? In the latter case, it's normal that they will be stored in filestore_01 (unless you are using Content Storage Services).

Please update your object type (may be custom type also) filestore property to newly created filestore.

If you want every object to locate to your new filestore, just update dm_sysobject filestore property to your new filestore.

Through DA or through query you can update.

Thanks
