Redirecting Local Files Created by SAS Management Console

By default, SAS Management Console stores the log files, application default files, and connection profiles on the local host. To change the default storage location, follow these steps:
  1. Close SAS Management Console on the local host.
  2. Create the path and directory for the client files.
  3. Open the file sasmc.ini and add the following Java argument: 
    JavaArgs_xx=-Dsas.appdatapath="new-path"
    xx
    is the next available Java argument number.
    new-path
    is a fully qualified path to the new directory. Here is a typical example: 
    JavaArgs_12=-Dsas.appdatapath="\\adminServer02\SMCClientFiles\Hostd17362"
  4. Start SAS Management Console on the local host.
