Specifying paths and filenames in the Details Pane
On several of the component Details Pane panels you are asked to provide a path or filename, (for example to specify where logging information should be stored, or where an adapter configuration file should be loaded from).
It is recommended that absolute paths and filenames be used where possible – an absolute path being one that specifies the whole path, for example:
c:\Document and Settings\My User\apama-work\logs\ (on Windows)
or
/home/apama-work (on UNIX)
In contrast, relative paths are incomplete, or just consist of a filename on its own, such as:
New_Correlator_1.log
Important notes
Unless otherwise stated, all paths are located on the file system of the remote host, on which the Sentinel Agent and managed components are running, rather than the local host where EMM is running.
Filenames and paths should never be enclosed in quotes, even if they contain spaces.
If a relative path is provided – as is the case by default for component log files – it is assumed to be relative to the component’s
Alternative start-up directory setting if one was configured, or to the
current working directory of the Sentinel Agent on that host if not. See
Working directory for details of how the Sentinel Agent’s working directory is determined.
