File Share Considerations

We suggest that you follow these best practices:

  • Create a folder called OneStream on the network that is accessible and shared by each OneStream server.

  • Give the following Read & Execute permissions to the OneStream folders:

    • Service Account running the OneStream Web Server IIS Web Application Pool

    • Service Account running the OneStream Application Server IIS Application Pool.

  • Create a folder called FileShare under the OneStream folder. Your OneStream IIS service account (“NETWORK SERVICE”) must have full rights to this folder.

  • Create a folder under OneStream called Config where you can save and share the Web and Application Server configuration files.

  • Give the following Read/Write permissions to the OneStream Configuration folder:

    • Service Account running the OneStream Web Server IIS Web Application Pool

    • Service Account running the OneStream Application Server IIS Application Pool

  • Ensure that applications servers have the File Share for application server workspace (Logs, File Upload / Down Load).

  • Ensure that each Web and Application Server can connect to the File Share.

  • Regularly back up the OneStream Application Server and Web Server Configuration Files (such as XFAppServerConfig.xml and XFWebServerConfig.xml).
