By default, if a user on a Windows system runs LiveContent S1000D from a CD-ROM, an appropriate location is selected in the All Users application data directory on the Windows client system to store a number of read-write configuration files. You can choose to set a different location than this default, and you can also configure a location for these files for Linux client systems.
About this task
Note: On Windows, the default application data directory is located in the default Windows TEMP directory under /XyEnterprise/LiveContent/var/ITEMNAME, but can be overridden by setting XyAppDirWin. On Linux, the default application data directory is /usr/share/XyEnterprise/LiveContent/ITEMNAME, but can be overridden by setting XyAppDirLinux.
Procedure
- Navigate to your collection directory.
- Open launch.ini for editing.
- Add the following to the file:
; Configure location of the application data directory on the client machines:
XyAppDirWin=WINDIR
XyAppDirLinux=LINUXDIR
where WINDIR is your Windows application directory and LINUXDIR is your Linux application directory.
- Save and close launch.ini.
