MSSData is the root directory under which site-specific content is stored, including server configuration files, keystores, emulator session information, and more.
This folder is created automatically; there are no additional steps required for installation. If you have a special circumstance that requires a non-default location for MSSData, you can edit the web.xml file (instructions below) to specify the location of the MSSData directory.
Here are the default locations for MSSData, by operating system.
On Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2008:
C:\ProgramData\Micro Focus\MSS\MSSData
On Windows Server 2003:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Micro Focus\MSS\MSSData
On UNIX and Linux:
/var/opt/microfocus/mss/mssdata
If you need to specify the location of MSSData, edit the web.xml file as follows:
Open the web.xml file in a text editor, such as Notepad. For Tomcat, web.xml is within the MSS directory for each component:
mss/apache-tomcat/webapps/mss/WEB-INF/web.xml
mss/apache-tomcat/webapps/tidm/WEB-INF/web.xml
mss/apache-tomcat/webapps/meter/WEB-INF/web.xml
In the web.xml file, replace the value for rwebdata_location_placeholder with the location and name of the directory you define. For example:
Save your changes and restart the servlet runner.
