Change root folder

Hi everyone.

Today I had a mistake. When I tried change root folder parameter I put in checkbox another UNC path. After restarted QVS services I followed in QMC and got endless loading in QlikviewSever -- QVS tab. i thin so it happened because QVS cannot access to root folder. How I can change root folder path? I tried find in setting.ini files and another config files. But it didn’t work.

Kind regards

Stanislav

The setting "DocumentDirectory=C:\yourfolder" is in

"C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Settings.ini"

Stop the services, edit and save the file, then start the services.

The Problem has been done. It happened because on one of node didn't have network access to QlikView Root folder. I sut shut down all QVS services and followed to in QMC qvs tab. Then I waited until an error occurred in QMC - QVS tab. Then I removed a problem server and turn on QVS on another servers.
