Setting root directory location for dynamart source files

You can specify a root directory location where dynamart source data files are stored.

About this task

When you save a data file as a dynamart, the link to this file is saved within the dynamart. When you open this dynamart, QMF reloads the data from the linked source file and updates the result set if the source file was modified or replaced.

You can specify the Server-Side File System preferences so that the data files that are linked to dynamarts are stored in a specific location on either the local file system or server file system.

Note: You can change the source data file or disable updating of data in the Dynamart Setting window.

  2. Select the Enable access to the server file system check box.
  3. Type the path of the root directory for dynamart source files in the Root input directory field.
    Note: The directory you specify must exist on either the local file system or on the server file system.
  4. Click Apply to save your preferences.
