Input and Output File Repository Servers
This section provides the command-line options that are specific to the Input and Output File Repository Servers.
The default paths to the servers on Windows are:
C:\Program Files\Crystal Decisions\Enterprise
10\win32_x86\inputfileserver.exe
C:\Program Files\Crystal Decisions\Enterprise
10\win32_x86\outputfileserver.exe
The default path to the program that provides both servers on UNIX is:
INSTALL_ROOT/crystal/enterprise/platform/crystalfilesd
Note: If you modify -name for an Input or Output File Repository Server, you must include "Input." or "Output." as the prefix to the value you type (for example, -name Input.Server01 or -name Output.UK).
For a list of standard command-line options, see Standard options for all servers.
| Option
| Valid Arguments
| Behavior
|
|---|
-rootDir
| absolutepath
| Set the root directory for the various subfolders and files that are managed by the server. File paths used to refer to files in the File Repository Server are interpreted relative to this root directory.
Note: All Input File Repository Servers must share the same root directory, and all Output File Repository Servers must share the same root directory (otherwise there is a risk of having inconsistent instances). Additionally, the input root directory must not be the same as the output root directory. It is recommended that you replicate the root directories using a RAID array or an alternative hardware solution.

-tempDir
| absolutepath
| Set the location of the temporary directory that the FRS uses to transfer files. Use this command line option if you want to control the location of the FRS temporary directory, or if the default temporary directory name generated by the FRS exceeds the file system path limit (which will prevent the FRS from starting).
|
-maxidle
| minutes
| Specify the number of minutes after which an idle session is cleaned up.
