Creating a Shared Folder for Waveform Data

After you have installed VAM, you must create a shared folder on any of the VAM server instances or on any other common system to store waveform data.

Make sure that this shared folder is accessible from all VAM instances. Use the user credentials provided during installation to create the shared folder.

Note: If you do not specify this shared folder, your VAM installation may not work as expected.
  1. Open the configuration file <Vocera>\mVisum Alerts\MVisum Message Generator\MVisumMessageGenerator.exe.config.
  2. Set the DataFolderPath key to be a subfolder of the shared folder that you have just created. For example, if the shared folder is in C:\MyFolder\SharedFolder, and you want to store waveform data in the Data subfolder, use the following definition:

    <add key="DataFolderPath" value="C:\MyFolder\SharedFolder\Data"/>

  3. Open the configuration file <Vocera>\mVisum Alerts\MVisum Alerts Service\web.config.
  4. Set the DataFolderPath key to be the Data subfolder described in step 2.
  5. Repeat these changes in each VAM instance.
