change Location of Distribution Log Files ?

[#1]

Server 9 sr2, Distribution service is saving Distribution log files to C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\Publisher\Qlikview Distribution Service\1\...

I dont want these on the c drive for obvious reasons, How do I change the Location, there is an option to move the QVS logs in the qemc console but there doesnt seem to be any config options for the Distribution service (scheduled Reloads). Is there an XML Config File anywhere ?

From QlikTech support:

"You have to manually add the path to QDS logging folder by edit qlikviewdistributionservice.exe.config file (found in C:\Program Files\QlikView\Publisher\Distribution Service) , add the path in between the two "" after value=:

<!-- ************ Program Settings ************ -->

<!-- Defaults to %PROGRAMDATA%\Qliktech\Qlikview Distribution Service --> <add key="ApplicationDataFolder" value=""/>

Note: If you do this then everything associated with the folder c:\program files\qlikview\publisher\distribution service will be added to this new path.

You'll need to copy all existing files from C:\Program Files\QlikView\Publisher\Distribution Service to the new location.

And the same procedure for other log files."

Note that if you want to move the location of the QlikView WebServer log files you must create a file called QVWebServer.exe.config in the directory C:\Program Files\QlikView\Server\Web Server. This file should contain:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<!-- ****** General ****** -->

<!-- Defaults to %PROGRAMDATA%\QlikTech\WebServer -->
<add key="ApplicationDataFolder" value="C:\YourDirectoryPath" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>
