The only location I seem to find that the path is saved is in the repository (under the GENPAR table). I believe in 4.0.5.x you could change the location of the files through: Console:Options:Web Server (tab) in the DocAgent Console.
When Business Objects moved to the newer versions (to provide more than one method of distributing files (web and via file system)) this tab disappeared and the information moved to the repository.
Does anyone have a better way of changing this default location? I have use SQL and trriggers to update this table in the past to get around the default path. Use SQL to change the parameter 500 for userid 4 where the value is $BO_FOLDER…
If you want specifics I can dreg up the information from my files, otherwise everything you need for this change is on the BO CD.

Where in Supervisor do you put this information for defaults…I am using 4.1.1 and don’t see any information

Hello Robert,
Can you send me the SQL script that you developed to update the Web publication path ?
Also in the BO CD what information can I find regarding this ? Please send me the details of the filename, path etc…
Once the path is set from the front end, it is disabled in the console.
I did change the path from the backend (M_GENPAR_C_LABEL) to the new path. This new path is also reflected in the console. But when the report is run , it looks at the old path or the path with which the report was sent to BCA first.
I even ran a search for that path in the m/c hosting the BCA as well. Other than M_GENPAR_C_LABEL (which no more has my old path) from where else does it store its “FIRST” path.
