How to change dump file location from default <installation>\tm1_64\bin64 (to another location) via using System Variables

Troubleshooting


Problem

Customer has noticed huge files (especially the ones with DMP extension) being created on the TM1 application server. - They are generated whenever TM1 application server crashes. Customer would like to modify the system so that (in the future) they get created in a different location (for example a different hard drive which has more free space). - How can they achieve this?
