What is better for storage and retrieval of work Attachments - NAS or PEGA OOTB table?
I would like to understand what are the pros and cons of storing Attachments in NAS and comparison of storing attachments in NAS Vs storing attachments in OOTB PEGA_DATA DB->pc_data_workattach table.
Any inputs in this regard will be helpful.
PRPC Version: PEGA 7.1.6
Note: Currently we have restricted the file size to 25MB and file types to PDF and Images

Hi Prasad,
According to my understanding NAS may result in security exposure, take a scenario for example
There is a user's requirement to upload document in Pega task. When the document is stored on NAS that is mounted on Pega Server, and an option can be made available to user to view the document from the NAS, Suppose we provide the location of the document as a link to share with other user or for other usability of document. Here in this situation, a secured document could face security exposure from unauthorised access when the link is passed to others.
On the other hand, PEGA OOTB table can be accessed based on authentication and authorisation configuration of Pega application.
Kindly let me know, if it helps you.

Hi,
In our case documents links are exposed only via PEGA and not directly from NAS.
So can you kindly provide any other inputs about the two approaches.
