ServiceExport directory

The ServiceExport directory for a server node is a directory that holds files to be imported or exported.

For example, the Export Archive tool and Service Package facilities create output files in this directory. The Import Archive tool finds input files in this directory.

In most cases, files from this directory are promptly deleted after an upload operation or a download operation, or after any other processing that uses the file is complete. (The standard activity @baseclass.DownloadFile can delete, or retain, the file after download completes, depending on the value of a parameter.)

The property pxServiceExportPath on the process page identifies this directory.

By default, the ServiceExport directory is a subdirectory of the temporary files directory on the server. You can change the default location of this directory through the prconfig.xml setting:

<env name="Initialization/pxServiceExportPath" value="<directory>"/>

where <directory> is the new location.

As an alternative to the prconfig.xml file, you can use Dynamic System Settings to configure your application.
