Hi There,
I want to put all of my Qlik data into a folder other than c:\ProgramData\Qlik.
Ie: I need to use d:\Qlik
I can change the location of my Apps folder but not of every thing else.
Is it possible?

Hi John - I am not sure if you saw the statement at that link:
-----
The default log files are stored in %ProgramData%\Qlik\Sense\Log\<Service>.
The local configuration file can be used to set up the logging so that the log files are also stored in another location.
The logging in Qlik Sense can be set up to produce customized logging as an addition to the default logging.
To set up customized logging, create a local configuration file named LocalLogConfig.xml
in the %ProgramData%\Qlik\Sense
\<Service>\ folder.

Let me know if you need more help with this.

And there steps to change Work Folder sense server:
Go to C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Engine and Open Settings.ini
Add these lines in the file:
[Settings 7]
DocumentDirectory=C:\qv
Remember to have an emty line below otherwise the settings won't apply
Restart the Qlik Sense Engine Service
If you want to move you already created apps you need to move them manually
Hi Alexander,
Thanks for the reply but I want to move the whole folder.
I have already followed your suggestion for moving the Apps.
I don't want to keep Application data (ie log files etc) on my c drive.

initially did not understand the question. I think you can try to resolve this issue create a link to this directory with the other places on the disk. if you want move app folder in another drive, u can't use hrad link, But U can attach volume as "path" not are Letter.
example
you have two drive C and D
create in drive C folder "BigDate"
go to "comuter managment"
mount drive D as path c:\bigdata
create link mklink
or use this command
mklink /j "c:\mklink" "d:\mkfolder"
sorry for my bad English
Hi John - I am assuming you mean the full Qlik Sense platform and not Qlik Sense Desktop, correct?
(If you can, please mark if post was correct or helpful, so our team knows that you are satisfied with the reply)

The logging in Qlik Sense can be set up to produce customized logging as an addition to the default logging.
To set up customized logging, create a local configuration file named LocalLogConfig.xml in the %ProgramData%\Qlik\Sense\<Service>\ folder.
The following requirements must be fulfilled for the customized logging to function properly:
XML schema for the local configuration file
Example: Local configuration file

In addition, just for clarity there is a Working Folder Directory in the Central Engine settings- where you can make a directory setting change:
Hi Michael,
Thanks for the reply. Yes it is the Server that I am working with.
However I would like to move all the default log files to the new location not just custom log files.

Mike, I am sure this gives a lot of flexibility but most of us just need a simple way to point Sense to a new location of Log folder like it was with QlikView. There really should be a simple text box with file path in Sense QMC. Same with Data App folder - it was very confusing that Working App folder in QMC is not the same thing as Data App folder.
I am sure this will change in newer releases as the product matures.
Are these settings still appropriate for Sense 3.1.1
the links above arent able to be resolved
I too want to relocate the c:/ProgramData/qlik and QlikTech directories OFF the C Drive
Hi Alan,
This discussion evolved in to off loading the log files to a different location, do you want to just reconfigure the log location or - do you want to move everything? Log file locations for Qlik Sense can be configured in the QMC.
BUT
Here is a resource that shows you how to move the QlikTech folder:
Qlik Tips: Move your QlikTech ProgramData folder by stephen-x.redmond
@Steve and word on safely moving the Qlik folder? - I assume with the new repository in Qlik Sense this may break something if not done correctly.
