Portal Drive - Logging Options

[Former Member]

Hi,

does anyone know where I can change the setting to store the chached data for portal drive?

Portal Drive stores it generally under C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\SAP\Drive\cache\...

Thanks and bye

Hi Sybille,

Really?

At least my version (4.5.7651) stores it under:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\SAP\PortalDrive\cache

Anyhow, this is not configurable; the path also is somewhat "standard" concerning how applications use a user dependent store.

So, maybe you describe what's your problem with this path....?!

Best regards

Hi Detlev,

what a suprise.

You are right. I have the same version and the tool stores the data under:

C:Documents and SettingsLocal SettingsApplication DataSAPPortalDrivecache

If a user works with Portal Drive, the tool rebuilds the km path in the windows explorer.

The same user wants to use the Disk Cleanup Tool in Windows. But this tool has a problem with a path with more than 255 chars.

I first thought we need to shorten the path, but on second thought, I saw it is enough to push CLEAR CACHED FILES under options in Portal Drive Client. After that I could execute the tool.

That should be o.k. what´s your opinion?

Thanks

Hm, I never had such a problem, but as I'm just using some small test content on my local server, maybe I don't have paths which are that long...

Yes, that sounds like almost better than a workaround, almost a "solution", if your users can live with the cache cleaned when they want to clean up their drive. And if they want to clean their drive, probably cleaning this cache, too, makes absolutely sense...

Best regards
