Configuration

FileSphere has a number of services, which by default are run under the built-in LocalSystem user account. Service settings are specific to the Document Space and are configured in the FileSphere Administration console.

It is recommended that services settings are not changed from the default installation of FileSphere. Occasionally, a service may require stopping and starting if a process is not working properly but this should only be performed on the advice of a FileSphere Administrator or technical support personnel.

The FileSphere services are:

Notification - used for event handling

File Storage - used for accessing FileSphere storage and includes the File catalog index

Web service - enables FileSphere to communicate with other FileSphere instances in a local network and with applications, such as Microsoft Office.

Pickup folders - used for adding documents to FileSphere automatically from specified folders

Database - used for accessing the FileSphere database
