Different Qualitia Update Locations
- Folder from Local Machine (Not Recommended)
You can set path to any local drive folder where you are installing Qualitia Server. Setting such paths from local machine is not recommended as there may be difficulties in accessing such paths from the different machines where Qualitia Client is being installed. Setting such paths will not block your installation process though. A sample path on local machine can be as below:
Server: D:\QualitiaDetail\QualitiaUpdates\Server
Client: D:\QualitiaDetail\QualitiaUpdates\Client - Shared Location in Local Area Network
You can create a folder on File Share and define it as Qualitia Update Location. All machines where you are installing Qualitia Client should have Read Access to this folder. It is suggested that this folder should be created on a machine which is accessible by all Qualitia users and is always up and running. A sample shared location path can be as below:Server: //SERVERA/QualitiaUpdate/Server
Client: //SERVERA/QualitiaUpdate/Client - Web Server (Such as Amazon S3 Bucket)
You can create folders on the Web Server like Amazon S3 Buckets and set that location as a Qualitia Update Location when installing Qualitia Server. Setting such locations help upgrading Qualitia instances seamlessly across multiple locations. All machines where you are installing Qualitia Client should have Read Access to this location. A sample cloud link can be as below:
Server: https://s3.amazonaws.com/updates/Qualitia/Server
Client: https://s3.amazonaws.com/updates/Qualitia/Client
