Hello,
We are using ARIS 9 in Terminal services environment with Mandatory profile.
Aris9 configuration user creates are wiped out after login, that is C:\Users\Username\Aris90\Aris.cfg is wiped out!
We would like to change the configuration path to be saved in Network Drive, so that the configuration is consistent across the servers.
that is from C:\C:\Users\Username\Aris90\Aris.cfg to H:\ARIS9\ARIS.cfg,
Please advice how can we make this change?
Hi,
So If we change the UserconfigPath="H:\users\%username%" would work to save configurations on H drive?
The above example shows: "/ARIS90" will be appended to the value specified.
But in our case it says : "/DownloadClient/<IP address of ARIS Download Server>" will be appended
And that fails in case of IPv6 network, the IP address then contains ":" which cannot be part of a folder name.
Mind you I don't have access to the server and don't know the exact setting of the variable UserconfigPath and whether the addition of the IP address is "our thing" or a hardcoded thing.
What I would like to accomplish is a working ArisConnect download and launch. This now breaks due to an invalid folder name because of the IPv6 address.
Hi,
log files would really be helpful. Actually, the folder name should be the ip adress with the dots instead of ":".
So, if you use the download as applet, pllease paste the logging in the java console here, if you start it per JAR, look at "%temp%" folder, where files starting with "ARISLauncher_" are placed.
Anyway: There is a flag in the arisloader.cfg, that forces the server name to be used instead of IP:
UseServerNameAsDownloadFolderName=true
Bye,
Frank
Hello Frank,
This appears in the Java console. As you can see an attempt is made to create a folder with an IPv6 address in the name, which fails due to the ":"in an IPv6 address,which is not allowed in a file or folder name on Windows. We will try the flag you suggested. This most likely will solve our issue.

Possible reasons may include:
- The URL you are using to connect to ARIS Client is incorrect. If in doubt, please contact your system administrator.
- You do not have write privileges for the local download directory.
- There is not enough memory available on your local hard disk.
- Download was canceled. If you are using the download applet:
Do not close the browser window during the download, and do not use the Back button.
Hi,
yes, please try this. Could you in addition send me the line in the arisloader.cfg for the location of the user profile?
Is it really this?
UserconfigPath="H:\users\%username%"
I will check this too.
Maybe it is easier if you paste here, if your test still fails, the complete "arisloader.cfg"
Bye,
Frank

thank you. Looks correct.
Could you add this line to the file?
UseServerNameAsDownloadFolderName=true
(for all ABS nodes, if you have more than one)
Hi Frank,
we finally got the change implemented, and it works as expected. First two folders below are from before the change, the others from after the change.
Thanks for your help,
Cheers, André

Hi,
in the file arisloader.cfg, on the server, you can set a variable "UserConfigPath".
See the description of this property in this file:
If you leave this empty (as it is per default), the environment variable "USERPROFILE" will be used automatically. "ARIS90" will be automatically added to this folder.
Please note: this setting applies to ALL(!) users of the download clients from this server.
Bye,
Frank
