Change the configuration and logging path

If a user starts ARIS download client, user specific configuration data and log files are stored in a local directory. By default, on Microsoft Windows OS, all files are stored in sub-folders of the user's profile, for example:

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

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 UserConfigPath=.

    If you leave this empty, as it is by default, the value of the DownloadClientPath will be used.

  3. Save the changes.

    Warning

    When performing an update setup all modifications made manually in CFG or XML files will be lost.

    Save modified configuration files locally and document your modifications. After an update installation you can easily compare your saved file and copy the modified line into the updated configuration file.

The files will be downloaded to the defined folder.
