Determining the location of PATROL

During the installation process, the PATROL installation utility records where it installs PATROL components in environment variables. To function properly, various components of the PATROL product require the information stored in these variables. Two important variables are PATROL_HOME and PATROL_CACHE.

Throughout this section, all references to PATROL_HOME represent %PATROL_HOME% and all references toPATROL_CACHE represent %PATROL_CACHE%.

Default values for PATROL location variables

If you do not specify a location for the PATROL installation, the installer uses the following pre-programmed default locations and stores these locations in environment variables.
