SAP Lumira: Change extensions & configuration directory

[Former Member]

Hi community

I would like to change the directory of the extension and configuration directory. Actually I could do that with @user.home, but it creates a folder in my network user folder. After I installed the SAP BW Acqusition Connector extension the start procedure of SAP Lumira take more than 7 minutes (everytime). I found out that when I change the .sapvi-directories to a local directory, it takes about 3-7 seconds (with the extension).

The problem there is that some of my clients share a computer and would see the others stories or get the other's settings. So what I would like to do is to set the local user directory like this:

-Dosgi.instance.area=C:/Users/%USERNAME%/.sapvi/workspace

-Dosgi.configuration.area=C:/Users/%USERNAME%/.sapvi/configuration

-Dhilo.extensions.dir=C:/Users/%USERNAME%/.sapvi/extensions

-Dhilo.user.dir=C:/Users/%USERNAME%/.sapvi

Unfortunately %USERNAME% does not work. Is there a solution?

Best regards,

Roman

Hi Roman,

Lumira is pulling this directory from the Windows' environment variables, and it seems your system admin has set it to a shared network directory. The problem of hard coding the directory as you found is that all users will use the same one. At this point Lumira cannot read %USERNAME% variable. You could add this to SAP's Idea Place for an enhancement request and hopefully see it in future releases.

Kind Regards,
