Application Data Directory

By default, the application configuration and settings are stored in the appData directory within the product zip. The application start scripts use the appData/intelligencehub-settings.json file to locate application state and store-forward data in this location. It is recommended that appData be maintained this way to make product upgrades easy. The appData and storeForward directories are controlled using the settings.directories object in the intelligencehub-settings.json file.

Example: Store application data in a custom location

Assume a user would prefer to store appData and storeForwardData in a custom location of their home directory. Before launching the runtime, open runtime\appData\intelligencehub-settings.json in a text editor. Update the appData and storeForwardData settings as shown, make sure the custom directories exist, and configure permissions to allow the application to read/write to these directories. The next time the application is started all application and store-forward data is located into the custom directories. Data stored previously can not be automatically relocated.

"settings": {
    "directories" : {
        "appData" : "C:\\HighByte\\appData",
        "storeForwardData" : "C:\\HighByte\\storeForwardData"
    },
}

Note on Windows backslashes must be escaped using \\ syntax.
