Strategy ONE

Locating the Configuration Files

If you have configured your application server to deploy exploded WAR files, the sys_defaults and sys_definitions XML configuration files are located in /WEB-INF/xml in the exploded directory. In Tomcat, these exploded directories are located in the webapps/ subdirectory of the Tomcat installation.

  • When deploying Strategy Web (JSP), the exploded directory is named MicroStrategy by default.
  • When deploying Strategy Mobile Server (JSP), the exploded directory is named MicroStrategyMobile by default.

If you have configured your application server to deploy an unexploded WAR file, the configuration files are created in the system's default temporary file directory. For Windows systems, the temporary file directory is usually C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Temp\[Number]\microstrategy\web-[Version]J\. For example, C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\1\microstrategy\web-10.4.0800.0156J\. For Linux systems, the temporary file directory is usually /tmp/ or /var/tmp/.

  • When deploying Strategy Web (JSP), a /microstrategy/web-Version/ folder is created in the temporary file directory, where Version is the version number for the Strategy Web (JSP) product. Within this folder location, various configuration files can be found within the WEB-INF folder and its subfolders.
  • When deploying Strategy Mobile Server (JSP), a /microstrategy/mobile-Version/ folder is created in the temporary file directory, where Version is the version number for the Strategy Mobile Server (JSP) product. Within this folder location, various configuration files can be found within the WEB-INF folder and its subfolders.
