Customizing config and shadow Directories

You can change the default location of configuration files, connection parameter files and shadow directory to the user defined locations.

This page discusses:

Shadow directory

This is the directory where all file related to an event are stored. Each event has a dedicated directory.

The default location of shadow directory: $CATTemp\XPG\Shadow

The location of this directory can be overridden by declaring XPG_SHADOW_DIR variable in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform environment file.

For example: XPG_SHADOW_DIR=C:\xpdm_files

Configuration Files Directory

The default location of configuration files such as pdm-cust-config.xml and fsclient-config.properties is at:

${ClientInstallation}\${OS}\reffiles\XPG\config\client

Where n is the current release number of the installation and {OS}is the operating system installed on the system.

The location of these files can be overridden by declaring XPG_CLIENTCONFIG_DIR variable in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform environment file.

For example: XPG_CLIENTCONFIG_DIR=C:\xpg_configs

Template Batch Input xml File

The default location of connection parameter files is at:

${ClientInstallation}\${OS}\reffiles\XPG\config\client

Where n is the current release number of the installation and {OS}is the operating system installed on the system.

The location of these files can be overridden by declaring XPG_TEMPLATEBATCHINPUTXML_DIR variable in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform environment file.

For example : XPG_TEMPLATEBATCHINPUTXML_DIR=C:\xpg_parameters
