Resolution
The only way to change the ServiceExport directory is to change the "file://web:" storage class path by adding the following in prconfig.xml,replacing your_path with the path that is required to use:
<env name="storage/class/web:/rootpath" value="your_path"/>
As long as the Pega application has permission to use the specified directory and it is not shared between multiple nodes or applications, this should not cause any issues.
A bug with Id:BUG-246353 has been raised, and the help documentation regarding this will be updated in the Pega 7.2.1 release.
