You can change the default App storage in the "Engine" settings for Qlik Sense.

- Open the Management Console

- In the menu to the left select Engines

- Configure (double click) your Central Engine

- Change the "Working Folder" for your Apps

In addition to the technical answer, please keep in mind that Qlik Sense Server is a supported product! If you have a valid license for it, don't hesitate to reach us to us at Qlik Support directly!

You are mistaken. I checked. This we specify the location of files that the server will look at planning problems rebooting.

I changed the setting to 0.95 and in this release. Changes only the position of qvd files, and binary files the application remain in the same place C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Apps.

from log file serv_system_engine.log

Mount: Found Mount at location C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Apps browsable		INTERNAL	sa_scheduler

I look in DB with PGadmin. Work folder is d:\qsense\app

If, indeed, change the "working directory" should change the location of the binary application files, then I really will contact technical support Qlik that to report a bug.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I also tried to change the file C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Engine\settings.ini , in a similar fashion as in version 11.20

--- add

[Settings 7]

DocumentDirectory = d:\qsense

No results.

Hi Alexander,

Were you able to get a response from Qlik on changing the app directory on the QMC under the Engine options and not going to settings.ini for this.

Please do let me know if this got fixed in any of the releases that happened after your findings.

Thanks,

Aadil
