Changing the data directory location on Windows

This section explains how to change the location of the Qlik Replicate Data Directory. Such a procedure may need to be performed if the drive on which the current directory resides has insufficient space or if you are moving from a temporary POC setup to production, for example.

To change the location of the data directory

1. Stop the Qlik Replicate UI Server and Qlik Replicate Server services.

2. Move the data directory to a new location. For example:

   C:\Program Files\Attunity\Replicate\Data2

3. Open the Registry and perform the following procedure:

1. Browse to:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\AttunityReplicateConsole

2. Modify the ImagePath string as follows:

   "C:\Program Files\Attunity\Replicate\bin\RepUiCtl.exe" -d "C:\Program Files\Attunity\Replicate\Data2" service run

3. Browse to:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\QlikReplicateServer

4. Open the ImagePath string and add -d <path_for_new_data_directory> after the repctl.exe path. For example:

   "C:\Program Files\Attunity\Replicate\bin\repctl.exe" -d "C:\Program Files\Attunity\Replicate\Data2" service start name=Server address=127.0.0.1 port=3552

4. Start the Qlik Replicate services.
