HyperLink of a file in PeopleSoft page

Usually files are stored on the Application Server or in the database as attachments, since it is the application server that does the processing and not the webserver. It is common to place the file on the appserver or in the database.This is better manageable and movable between environments.

After placing the file on the appserver or in the database you can create a link on a page and use the ViewAttachment function to link to the file. ViewAttachment() retrieve the file from the server and show it to the user and it may require ftp to be configured for its paramater URL.

If you really want to place it on the webserver, you can add the file to the root of PIA, something like
[PS_CFG_HOME]\webserv\peoplesoft\applications\peoplesoft\PORTAL.war\myfile.htm
or
[PS_HOME]\webserv\peoplesoft\applications\peoplesoft\PORTAL.war\myfile.htm

Now you can access the file directly via the webserver by defining a url like
http:/<server>:<port>/myfile.htm
