How can i change where the Qvera Home directory is stored

Question

My H2 Database is big and I would like it on a different drive/location. Can i change the home directory and where the database is stored.

Answer 1

As of the 2.0.42 release, changing your installation directory during the initial install will properly install all QIE files to the non-default location you have specified (i.e. installing to a drive other than C:\, etc). The additional steps below will no longer be necessary.

Answer 2

Yes you can move the location.

QIE installs to the C:\programdata\QIE by default. If using H2 database it will be stored there. Here are the steps to change it.

1. Stop the QIE service from the service manager
2. Move the QIE folder from C:\programdata to the desired location/drive.
3. Open the QIE Service Manager and go to the java tab.
4. Change the home directory location to the path you moved the QIE folder to
   
5. Click apply and Start the service

After changing the qie.home parameter, you should rerun the installer.  The installer will use the existing qie.home value to update other QIEService Properties which reference that directory like the logging and some java options.

Also, if you are trying to move completely off of the C: drive, Java will need to be installed on the other drive as well.
