How can I change default Local Repository location for all users using the PC?

Hello,

I am running a Terminal server and RapidMiner is installed on the same. I have 3-4 users accessing the system I want to point the repositories of all users to one location while using Rapid Miner.

How can I do it?

In theory: Right click on the "Local Repository" in the Repository Panel click on "Configure Repository" and choose the same "Root directory" for all users.

But that's not a supported use cases, you will run into issues due to concurrent usage, maybe even data loss.
Also you need to refresh the repository manually to see changes from other users.

Thankyou for the response.

But the root directory settings gets refreshed everytime the user logs in.

Is it possible to have parameter specified in startup of "rapidminer" ?

The repositories are defined in the ~/.RapidMiner/repositories.xml file.
What do you mean with "refreshed everytime the user logs in"?
If your user home (~ or %HOME%) is not persistent you can point it to a persistent and writable location via the "user.home" system property.

Hi,

The users are logging on terminal server, and the home directory is pointing to different file server.

When the users are trying to load RapidMiner it is creating new temporary profile and storing on the terminal server, which is automatically deleted upon logout.
