Hi All,
Just wanted to know whether can we change the default location of '/var/mqsi' folder while installing MB6.1.
I know we can create a soft link with /var/mqsi to make it point to some other location. But what I am looking for is whether we can change the location of there the data is going to go from /var/mqsi to come other location.
I hope you got what i m looking for.
Regards,
Pats ... |

No.
You can symlink /var/mqsi as you say, and you can mount /var/mqsi as you will.
AFAIK you can't get WMB to use a different path (e.g. /var/someplace) but what would that ability (if it existed) gain you over the other methods?
Requirements please, that we can suggest alternatives.

Thanks Vitor for your reply ...
Well what has happened is ...
We had MBv5 installed on our server and it was using '/var/mqsi' location.
I installed MBv6.1, obviously on a different '/opt' location other than MBv5 with the intent of coexsistance.
But what happened is MBv6.1 is also using '/var/mqsi' location, which I assumed (which i should not have) would be created in some folder like /var/mqsi/6.1 just like the /opt directory structure.
Now am not sure what will happen if I have to uninstall MBv5 ????
So thought that next time when I install MB6.1 on another server might move the /var/mqsi location to some other location.
Well as of now the options that I am exploring is:
Take the backup of '/var/mqsi' folder and uninstall MB5. Then copy the MB6.1 folders back into the /var/mqsi location. The folders which MB6.1 requires are mentioned in the info center so that should not if a problem (as far as now ..  )
Let me know if this looks ok.
Also all kind of suggestions are welcomed.

Another thing that struck my mind is ...
We can do a co-existance of MBv5 and MBv6.1.
Now upon doing this co-existance, both the versions of MB will be using '/var/mqsi' location.
Now when we plan to uninstall verison 5. How will it affect the '/var/mqsi' folder.
I am saying this because i see that there are two folder called 'odbc' and 'registry' which is used by both the versions of MB.
I hope it does not delete these folders.
Anyways before I uninstall version 5 i am surely going to take a backup of '/var/mqsi' location, so that I can restore any of the files or folders that go missing once the uninstall is done.
Would like to know your thoughts on the same.
