How do I change the default user file locations on a client delegate server?

Purpose

Perform the procedure to configure the default location of one or more of the following on an NFM-P client delegate server:

  • user preference files that contain the following information:

    • saved table layouts

    • preferences saved using Application→User Preferences

  • script result files

Steps
 
1 

Close each GUI client that connects through the client delegate server by choosing Application→Exit from the NFM-P main menu.

2 

Log in to the client delegate server station as the nsp user.

3 

Open a console window.

4 

Navigate to the client configuration directory, typically /opt/nsp/client/nms/config on RHEL, and C:\nsp\client\nms\config on Windows.

5 

Open the nms-client.xml file using a plain-text editor.

6 

To change the default GUI preferences and table layout file location, insert the following line directly above the </configuration> line at the end of the file:

guiPreferences path="new_file_location" /> 

where new_file_location is the new default GUI table layout and GUI preferences location

Note: The specified location can be an absolute file path, or a file path relative to install_dir/nms, where install_dir is the client installation location.

7 

To change the default script result file location, insert the following line directly above the </configuration> line at the end of the file:

cache directoryName="new_file_location" /> 

where new_file_location is the new default script result file location

Note: The specified location can be an absolute file path, or a file path relative to install_dir/nms, where install_dir is the client installation location.

8 

Save and close the nms-client.xml file. Subsequent client GUI sessions on the client delegate server use the new file location.
