Mass Updates of Base Paths

It is possible to update server and client base path segments in the environment and all of its applications at the same time. This functionality is useful to relocate a particular environment and all of its applications onto a new disk or partition.

To perform a mass update of the base paths:

1. From the Workbench shortcut bar, select Environments > Environments.

2. Open an environment.

3. From the menu, select Environment > Update Base Paths.

   The Update Base Path window opens.

4. Type the old server/client base path segment and the new server/client base path segment in the fields provided.

   The default value in the old server/client base path field is the environment's current server/client base path segment.

5. Click Apply or OK.

   Every occurrence of the old server/client base path segment will be replaced by the new server/client base path segment in the Environment and all of its applications.

   For example, two applications have been selected. The server base paths for these two applications are /u2/apps/isi and /u2/apps/demo_107. To change u2 to u3, type u2 in Old Server Base Path and u3 in New Server Base Path before you copy these applications. Every occurrence of the old server/client base path segment is then changed to the new base path segment in all selected applications. The changes are reflected in the applications in the Environment into which you copy them.

6. Click OK.
