Configure the Archive and Restore data directory

Configure the Archive and Restore data directory to make the Archive and Restore commands available to end-users with application Administrator rights in AX Client.

1. In a web browser, navigate to https://<servername>/aclconfig and log in to the AX Server Configuration web application.

   Use the same credentials that you use to log in to the Tomcat Web Application Manager.

2. In the Server section, in the Archive and restore data directory field, enter the file path or UNC path to the directory where you save archived collections.

   You must specify a folder that already exists. A UNC path is a shared folder that is specified using the following format: \\<server_name>\<shared_folder>.

   The user account used to run the ACL Analytics Exchange Service must have Full Permissions for the folder you configure as the Archive and Restore data directory. You must manually assign the required security rights in Active Directory.

   Note

   The data directory can either be located locally on AX Server, or on a remote file server or storage-area network (SAN). You must ensure that the specified location has enough disk space allocated to store your archived collections based on the size of collections stored in AX Server, including analytic job results, and your organization’s archiving policies.

3. To save your changes, click Update at the bottom of the Server section.
