CodeStation relocation

By default, log files and CodeStation artifacts are stored in the var subdirectory within the Build server installation. You can store this data in another location. Ideally, the new location is on a network storage system that is regularly synchronized with an off-site disaster recovery facility. In addition, make sure that the Build server has a fast network connection to the storage. Agents do not need access to the storage location. In UNIX environments, you can use symbolic links from within the var subdirectory to network storage. On Windows platforms, there are several options for redirecting logs and artifacts, including mklink, which is supported in Windows 7 and later.

You can also move file storage to a location other than the var directory by setting a server/var.dir property for the Build server. To set the property, edit the server's set_env file in the server's bin subdirectory. Edit the definition of JAVA_OPTS to include the redirection property, as shown in this example:

-Dserver/var.dir=/alternate/var/path

Distributed teams can also take advantage of Build location-specific CodeStation proxies to improve performance and lower WAN use.
