Changing the Location of Shared Files

Go Up to Administrator Guide

Before changing the location of shared files, note that you must have local administrator privileges.

To change the location where ER/Studio Data Architect stores and searches for shared application data

1. Choose Tools > Options, and then click the Directories tab.
2. In the File Path dialog, browse to an existing directory you want to store your shared files.

   • Note: ER/Studio Data Architect creates a directory that does not exist but not a directory path. If your path has multiple levels, it must already exist.

3. In the Options dialog, click OK. When closing the dialog ER/Studio Data Architect creates and/or searches in the changed directory.
4. If you are changing the location of any of the following directories, you must also copy the contents of the directory to the new location: DataTypeMapping, Macros or Sample Models.
5. Once your changes are complete, you must restart ER/Studio Data Architect.
