Issue/Introduction

Faced a problem where configuration location of the variance.db file for baseline data has been a different disk volume. From the configuration file

IntroscopeEnterpriseManager.properties
it says the location of the variance.db is relative to the introscope installation folder.

introscope.enterprisemanager.baseline.database=/introscope/data/variance.db

Has entered something like

introscope.enterprisemanager.baseline.database=E:\introscope\variance.db

Is this possible or has this file to be located under the <Introscope Home> folder on the disk where it is installed?

Resolution

Try the following procedure:

1.) Shut down the EM.
2.) Make a backup of variance.db and move variance.db to E:\introscope\
3.) Created a symbolic link in the EM Home directory to E:\introscope\variance.db
windows command: mklink variance.db E:\introscope\variance.db
4.) Updated config entry to:
introscope.enterprisemanager.baseline.database=variance.db
5.) Start EM
