Locating Remedy AR System files and forms


This section describes each Remedy AR System feature and the client files and forms that the installer creates and modifies during installation.

You cannot move the Remedy AR System server files. You must reinstall Remedy AR System if you want to move the server to a new computer. You can preserve the environment by exporting data and structures and importing them to the new location. For more information, see Importing data into BMC Remedy AR System forms and Importing and exporting object definitions and locking objects  from the Remedy AR System online documentation.

Important

Important

If you upgrade Remedy AR System, new files are installed and existing files from the previous installation are overwritten. Otherwise, the legacy files are left on the file system unaltered.

AR System server file locations

This following links list the locations of AR System server files on Microsoft Windows and UNIX operating systems.

Best practice
We recommend that you retain this file structure. Do not remove DLL files from the arsystem/bin directory. If DLLs are not located in the bin directory, the thread running the process that requires a missing DLL will stop responding.

Important

If you use centralized preferences, the ARSystemHomeDirectory files are stored on the server and not in the local directories.

  • For new installations on Windows XP, the default ARSystemHomeDirectory is C:\Documents and Settings\userName\Application Data\AR System\HOME.
  • On Microsoft Windows Vista, the default ARSystemHomeDirectory is C:\Users\LoginName\AppData\Roaming\AR System\Home.
