Configuring Location for User Data

In a default installation of AVIX, user specific data are written to the folder
“$ALLUSERSPROFILE$/Solme AB/AVIX4/instance/”.
It is possible to change the location used for this data and this can be done in two ways

  • Via an entry in the file “config.ini” that can be found in the configuration directory located in the root directory of the AVIX installation.
  • Via the command line parameter “-data <location>” to the application.

USING CONFIG.INI

Open the file “<install dir>/configuration/config.ini” in a text editor and locate the row

osgi.instance.area=$ALLUSERSPROFILE$/Solme AB/AVIX4/instance/

Change the value part to point to the location that should be used to store the user specific data and the next time AVIX is started the change should be in effect. The usual use of escape chars must be used for ‘\’, ‘:’ and ‘.’- characters. As of AVIX v4.5.0 it is possible to use system variables for the value of this setting.

Example of an edited line that relocates the user data to “C:\temp\.AVIXUserData”

osgi.instance.area=C\:\\temp\\\.AVIXUserData

USING COMMAND LINE PARAMETER

Create a shortcut to AVIX.exe and open the shortcut preferences. Add the command line parameter

-data <location>
