The data root is a folder structure that allows for separation of data/log files from the Suite application hierarchy in order to make upgrades simpler.

The data root folder should not be within the installation directory structure. If it is a subfolder in the installation directory, each time you upgrade, you will have to copy the folders to a temporary location, then copy them back to the directory.

To Specify the Data Root:

1. Open Suite Manager using a user account that has the Verify Data Root Folder security attribute set to “Allow.”
2. On the Suite Manager control panel, click the System Settings component in the System Configuration area.
3. On the General settings area of the Mitratech Suite tab, type the path to the directory where the data/log files will be stored. It can be a folder on any server as long as the Java server has read/write access to it. The data root must be a Universal/Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) path if the folder structure is on a different server. If the data root is located on the Java server, a local path can be designated. An example data root folder path is C:\Suite8.
   
4. Click the Verify button next to the Data Root text box.
5. Click Save.
6. Click Refresh All Application Server Settings.
