dataroot is a folder on the computer that is used to hold important data, such as databases, settings, licenses and file repositories.

By default it will be held at

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\[product]-[level]

Eg for a CIS server running at production level 1 (the default) this might be

c:\programdata\cis-1

For a QuoteArchitect client running at production level 1 (the default) for a user “frank” this might be

c:\programdata\qa-1

If the registry key

HKLM\SOFTWARE\armida\amf\dataroot

specifies an alternate location then this is used. The dataroot folder (eg cis-1) will be located in the folder specified by the registry entry.

Note that when the product software is 32 bit and running on a 64 bit system the registry key used is

HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\armida\amf\dataroot

Product levels

In cases were multiple software installations are present on one computer, different “levels” are used.

Use the Armida Product Manager to identify the level in use.
