1. If you use the Live Forms Cloud hosted server,  you must ensure that the connector is accessible from the frevvo servers. This is done by opening up one of the following ports in your firewall:
   
   
   • HTTP Ports: 80 or 19080

   • HTTPs Ports: 443 or 19443
     
     

   Code Block
   We recommend that you use https and not http. Https is a secure channel.

2. Customers that use firewall white-listing, should make sure the frevvo cloud outgoing server IP 54.86.85.105 (host outgoing.frevvo.com) is added to the list.
3. If you choose to run the Filesystem connector in the same container where  is running:
   
   1. Stop .
   2. Download the file connector zipflile from here. 
   3. Be sure to change the port number in the appropriate file for the container you are using. For example, if you are using the frevvo tomcat bundle, the change should be made in the <frevvo-home>/tomcat/conf/server.xml file. 
   4. The port number change is also applicable to any outgoing HTTP requests to the Filesystem connector. 

   5. Extract the filesystem.war file to the appropriate location for the container you are using. For example, if you are using the frevvo tomcat bundle, the connector should be located in the <frevvo-home>\tomcat\webapps directory.

2. Download the file connector zipflile from here. 
3. Extract the filesystem.war file to your <frevvo-home>\tomcat\webapps directory. 
4. Configure the Filesystem Connector
   

...

1. Create a file named filesystem.xml. Move it to <frevvo-home>\frevvo\tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost directory when it is completed. Refer to the table below for the configurable parameters that can be included in the filesystem.xml content:

   Configuration Parameter	Description
   connector.file.root.dir	This is the location in your file system where the submission docs will be saved.  Set the submissions directory field in the Save to Filesystem wizard as a relative path from the root directory specified by the connector.file.root.dir in the connector deployment configuration. It's value can contain one or more control template strings. For example, if the configuration file contains C:\ for the connector.file.root.dir parameter, enter the name of the directory where you want to save the submissions in the Submissions field in the Save to Filesystem wizard. This will save the submissions in C;\<DIRECTORY NAME>. If not explicitly configured, it defaults to the user home directory. Change the value to reflect the location for your file system.
   connector.file.name.keep	This parameter determines whether the original files names will be retained. If this is set to true, then you either have to make sure that all your files have unique names or else save the documents of each submission under a separate uniquely named folder. If this parameter is not included, or is set to false, submission files will be named with a generated identifier as the prefix suffixed by '_' and a sequence number to make the file name unique. The original filename extension is retained. This is the default behavior. Ex: e454fa08-9a6e-4c54-9743-18f4ba0ad0b4_1.xml instead of form.xml.
   connector.file.dir.submission	This parameter allows you to create a unique new sub-folder for documents of every submission if true.
   connector.file.ignore.attachments	This parameter determines whether attachments will be saved or not. If the value is false, attachments will be saved. Change the value to true and attachments will not be saved. The submission XML does not store the names of uploaded attachments, instead it points to unique ID that is assigned to each attachment when that submission in created in . This is as-designed.
   connector.file.descriptor.suffix	The metadata descriptor filename is a generic GUID filename, followed by a configurable suffix. The default suffix is '.xml'. Use this parameter to change the suffix.The suffix can make identifying the metadata file easier, particularly if you save the files from all submissions into the same folder. Ex: 432e0d1f-d084-4cd4-8bbe-50f6e9bd5ee6.xml

   Here is an example of the filesystem.xml. When executed, submissions will be:

   • Saved on the local drive in a directory called Submissions.
   • Individual file names will be retained.
   • Attachments in the submission will be saved.

   • Add the suffix "_desc.txt" to the metadata file for each submission.
     

     Code Block

     <Context unpackWAR="false" path="/filesystem" swallowOutput="true" unloadDelay="40000"> <Parameter name="connector.file.root.dir" value="C:\" override="false"/> <Parameter name="connector.file.name.keep" value="true" override="false"/> <Parameter name="connector.file.ignore.attachments" value="false" override="false"/> <Parameter name="connector.file.descriptor.suffix" value="_desc.txt" override="false"/> </Context>

     
     

2. Start . If you are running v7.0, remember to start the Insight server first.

3. Make sure the directory where you plan to save the submissions is created and and has the appropriate access for the OS you are using. For example:

   1. If you are using Windows, you can map a drive to a server directory, or you could use the UNC path i.e. //host-name

   2. If you are using a Unix operating system you could mount a remote filesystem as a directory and use it as your destination directory

      Warning
      To ensure interoperability across file systems, it is recommended that you follow a good naming standard such as POSIX when creating files and folders. For example, folder names can't contain slashes so a folder named '1/2/15' would not be valid.

4. Browse http://<your server:port>/filesystem/health (replace <your server:port> with your frevvo server:port) to check the status of the connector. If the connector is up and running, you will see { "status" : "UP" }.

...

1. You have created a small form that has a Name, Address, City, State and Zip Code fields. A mapped W - 4 PDF is included in the form. The Save PDF property is selected and the PDF Name property is configured with the template {Name}.

2. You want to store the submission files for this form in a directory on your local machine named Submissions. 
3. You want to create a sub directory for each submission under the Submissions directory. The name of the sub directory is created from the value entered into the Name field on the form
4. You want to save the form/flow PDF, any mapped PDFs associated with the form, an xml file and any attachments uploaded to the form in the subdirectory. 
5. Follow these steps to fulfill the requirements by using the doc action Save to Filesystem wizard
   1. Login as a designer.

   2. Edit your form/flow in the appropriate designer.

   3. Click on the what happens to my data? icon.
      
      
      
      

   4. Click Save to FileSystem to display the wizard.
      
      

6. To fulfill the requirements listed above, we only need to fill in the URL, Submission Directory and File sections of the wizard. Here is an explanation of the fields:
    

   1. The URL -  for a connector is set for the installation using the frevvo.filesystem.connector.url parameter in the <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost\frevvo.xml file. It defaults to http://localhost:8082/filesystem in the tomcat build. The URL can be edited here. This is a required field. The value entered here overrides the value in the frevvo.xml file.
      Be sure to include the /filesystem/submission in the URL after you change the server and port.
      
      
   2. Submissions Directory - Enter a relative path from the root directory specified by the connector.file.root.dir parameter in the configuration file created above. Control templates are allowed in this field. You can use a control template to store submissions in subdirectories. The template, {Name}, will populate the Template field. Copy the template from the Template field and add it to the Submissions Directory path after the forward or backward slash. Note the forward or backward slash can be used to create subfolders.
      
      Examples
   • , if the value of the connector.file.root.dir parameter in the configuration file is "c:\" then entering Submissions in the Submission Directory field in the wizard saves the files in the local directory c:\Submissions.
      
   1. File Section - One or more types of submission content can be specified by checking the Send Snapshot, Files, Gen Forms and Data checkboxes:
      1. Select the snapshot format to be sent by selecting a choice form the Send Snapshot dropdown. The format choices are PDF, PNG or JPEG.
      2. Check the Files checkbox to send any file attachments uploaded to the form.
      3. Check the Gen Forms checkbox to send the mapped W - 4 PDF.
      4. Check the Data checkbox to send the form XML document for the form.
         
         
         
         
7. Click the Submit button.
8. Click the save and exit icon to save your changes.
9. Create some submissions by clicking the Test button, filling in the form and clicking submit.
10. The results of 3 submissions are shown in the image.
