This directory contains all user-specific files. This is the case when users add, for instance, definitions or modify settings (see chapter " Hierarchy of the Settings Files"). This directory is not removed when you uninstall Test Automation for SAP Commander.
You can find a description for all %TRICENTIS_ALLUSERS_APPDATA% subdirectories below. You can copy the specified paths to the Windows dialog Start->Run to identify the respective paths.
You can install the %TRICENTIS_ALLUSERS_APPDATA% directory on a network drive. To do so, use the Windows Installer property NETDRIVE.
In this case, the Tricentis Test Automation for SAP setup skips the access permission configuration for the chosen directory, so you need to set the necessary access permissions before you prompt the installation. Possible access permissions are Group EVERYONE, Full Access, or recursive inheritance.
|
In this example, the command below grants recursive inheritance. icacls "<%TRICENTIS_ALLUSERS_APPDATA%>" /t /grant *S-1-1-0:(OI)(CI)F |
By default, the NETDRIVE value is 0. In this case, the Tricentis Test Automation for SAP installer sets permissions for user EveryOne on %TRICENTIS_ALLUSERS_APPDATA%.
If you want to use NETDRIVE, set the NETDRIVE value to 1. In this case, you have to set permissions for %TRICENTIS_ALLUSERS_APPDATA% yourself.
However, you need to ensure that Tricentis Test Automation for SAP users have FullControl permissions for %TRICENTIS_ALLUSERS_APPDATA% during Tricentis Test Automation for SAP runtime.
