Change the download path

If a user starts ARIS Download Client, all files are downloaded to a local directory. By default, on Microsoft Windows OS, all files are stored in subfolders of the user's profile, for example:

%UserProfile%\ARIS10\DownloadClient\<the ARIS server's IP address or name>

You can also define the server name to be used for the folder name instead of the IP address.

The folder size is about 200 MB per download, and grows with each update. If you are not about to store the files in the user's profile, administrators can change this location.

Warning

If you change settings in the arisloader.cfg file, the settings will be lost after an update setup.

Prerequisite

You have write access to the ARIS installation directory.

Procedure

  1. Open the arisloader.cfg file (<ARIS installation path>\server\bin\work\work_abs_<s, m, or l>\base\webapps\abs\downloadClient\config).

  2. Change the default value of DownloadClientPath="<value>".

  3. Save the changes.

    Warning

    Lorsque vous effectuez une installation de mise à jour, toutes les modifications faites manuellement dans les fichiers CFG ou XML sont perdues.

    Enregistrez localement les fichiers de configuration modifiés et documentez vos modifications. Après une installation de mise à jour, vous pouvez facilement comparer votre fichier enregistré et copiez la ligne modifiée dans le fichier de configuration mis à jour.

The files will be downloaded to the defined folder.
