Global Site Archiving Settings

The Archive Settings page identifies the global settings that ColdFusion uses every time you archive and restore data about a site. The following list defines the settings on this page along with the default options that ColdFusion supplies at install time:

 

Working Directory

The Working Directory  field identifies the location where all archiving and restoring temporary files and log files are written. By default, the location of the working directory is:

<coldfusion_install_dir>\cfam\car\temp

Tips:

  • If you change the location of the working directory , you should verify that the new location has sufficient disk space and the ColdFusion service is able to write to this location.

  • Use the Browse Server button to quickly locate a full path name for the desired location.

Save Log Files

The Save Log File options enable you to choose whether or not you want ColdFusion to save all the archive and restore events to a car log file. Note that these events represent only the events that occurred during the time in which a site archive was created or restored. By default, both the create and restore log file options are enabled.

Archive Variables

The Archive Variables section initially identifies a list of supplied system variables used by ColdFusion for executing archive and restore procedures. In addition, this section enables you to add and define variables for aliases to archive or restore. For instance, you can use variables to represent a directory path you commonly archive. You can also use variables to restore a site archive to a different area from what was initially represented in the archive setting.

System variables supplied by ColdFusion Server 5.0

To view the variable definition, click the variable name.

  • docroot.  This variable reflects the web servers root directory.

  • javaargs .  This variable reflects additional arguments to pass to the Java virtual machines.

Tip

  • We recommend that you do not change the definition of a system-supplied variable, unless the location of the system variable was moved on your system.
