Upload Files to the zFS

If you have files on a Windows system that you want to include in the Knowledge Center, upload the files to the zFS. The Knowledge Center indexes the uploaded files automatically. If your files exist on the mainframe, you do not need to upload them.

After you upload files, they are placed on the zFS in a folder that you specify during the installation of CA Chorus. If you change these source files on your Windows system, upload the files again. The files are indexed automatically.

Note: Links for uploaded files that contain nonalphanumeric characters in the file name are not supported when they appear in search results. To view these files, remove or replace the nonalphanumeric characters before uploading the files.

You must have Knowledge Center configuration and write authority to the zFS destination folder to upload your Windows files to the zFS.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Help icon.
2. Click the wrench icon at the top right of the Knowledge Center window.

   The Knowledge Center Settings dialog opens.

3. Click the Upload Documents tab, browse to the location of the file that you want to add, select the file, and click Upload. Repeat this step if you want to add more files.

   A progress bar appears, which tracks the file upload progress. The progress bar disappears after the uploading completes. The destination directory appears at the top of the bottom pane and the uploaded files appear in the bottom pane. The file is now uploaded to the zFS and is automatically indexed.

   Note: If you are including your HTML files in the repository, internally linked HTML files are not uploaded or indexed automatically. CA Chorus uploads and indexes only the first level of HTML files.
