Summary
This article describes how to move adTempus data that is stored on disk to a new location.
More Information
adTempus stores job configuration, history, and most other settings and data in the adTempus database. However some data, including the contents of Captured Files, is stored on disk. By default this data is stored beneath the adTempus Program Files folder. It may be necessary or preferable to move this data to a different disk (for example, when the system drive does not have enough disk space for this data).
Following are the steps to move the data to a new location.
These instructions are written for the "Default" instance of adTempus. If you are working with a different named instance, substitute the instance name for "Default" in paths and Registry keys.
- Stop the adTempus service.
- Locate the current data folder. By default this is "C:\Program Files\Arcana Development\adTempus\Instances\Default\Data". If you have installed adTempus to a different location the "Data" path will be under that location.
If you are unsure where the data is located, run the Registry editor and go to key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Arcana Development\adTempus\Instances\Default". The "DataPath" value will show the data location. - Choose a new location to contain the data and move the contents of the current Data folder to the new location.
- In the Registry editor, go to key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Arcana Development\adTempus\Instances\Default". Edit the "DataPath" value and set it to the new location from step 3.
- Start the adTempus service.
To confirm that the new location is being used, you can do one or more of the following:
- Confirm that no new folders or files are being created in the old data folder.
- Run a job that saves Captured Files. Confirm that a new file is created in the "CapturedFiles" folder under the new data folder.
- In the Console, view a job instance that has Captured Files and confirm that you are able to view one of the files.
