Specifying the AdminStudio Shared Location

The AdminStudio Shared directory (also referred to as the AdminStudio Shared location) contains shared information for repackaging and conflict identification, and other AdminStudio functions. The AdminStudio Shared Directory contains the following:

  • The Shared AdminStudio.ini file, which specifies default Application Catalog database settings

  • Application Catalog duplicate package identifier options

  • Repackager isrepackager.ini exclusion list

  • OS Snapshot issnapshot.ini file

  • User-defined ACEs used in conflict analysis

  • Distribution Wizard Distribution Type templates and .ini files

If you are working in a team environment, the AdminStudio Shared Directory should be set to a centralized network location, accessible by all AdminStudio users at your organization, rather than on your local machine. Follow the steps below to specify the location of the AdminStudio Shared Directory.

note

To maintain consistency when creating workflows, it is recommended that you set the AdminStudio Shared Directory the same for each AdminStudio user.

To specify the location of the AdminStudio Shared Directory:

  1. Launch the Process Template Editor.

  2. From the Tools menu, select Options. The Options dialog box opens.

  3. In the Options dialog box, select the Locations tab.

  4. Enter or browse to the directory for the AdminStudio Shared Location.

  5. Click OK to close the Options dialog box.

    note

    If the AdminStudio Shared Location is changed in the Process Template Editor, this change will apply to the Application Manager.
