Enterprise Server System Directory

Windows

The default location for the System Directory is usually a sub-folder under %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Micro Focus\<product name>\WORKAREA<region name> where:

• %USERPROFILE% has a different value depending on whether you start the region from MFDS or a command prompt:
  • When started from MFDS, uses the user profile of the account associated with the service. If this is the local system account, the %userprofile% will be that of the local system account.
  • When started from the command line, uses the environment variable %USERPROFILE%
• <product name> is the name of the product you installed
• <region name> is a product component

You can change the location of the System Directory by editing the Enterprise Server's definition in Enterprise Server Administration.

If you are running the Directory Server as a service that logs on as the Local System account (LocalService), any Enterprise Server that it starts will also run under that account. Hence, the default location of the log file could be <local system account profile>\My Documents\Micro Focus\<product name>\ X.X\WORKAREA\es-name\console.log. By default, Windows hides the LocalService subdirectory of Documents and Settings. In order to view this directory, you must configure your Windows Explorer so that: Show hidden files and folders is set, and Hide protected operating system files is not set.

UNIX
