The Registration Directory is a special directory you can designate in the Admin Console, that allows you to automatically migrate and register existing Concordance 10.x SQLite databases on the Concordance Desktop server. When you place a folder, that contains all the files for a Concordance 10.x SQLite database, into the designated "Registration Directory," the database is automatically migrated and registered on the Concordance Desktop server when Concordance Desktop is run on that server. The "Registration Directory" can be any directory on the server computer, even a directory that contains all your current Concordance 10.x SQLite databases. Only one Registration Directory can be designated per Concordance Desktop server. By default, a directory is already setup for you named DB Smart Path, but you can the default to any directory you want to use. The default directory is located in the server computer's ProgramData folder (usually C:\ProgramData\CloudNine\Concordance Desktop\DB Smart Path). If you decide to keep the default directory, you will need to move your database folders into the DB Smart Path default directory to have the database migrated and automatically registered on the Concordance Desktop server. See Migrating databases for instructions on moving database folders to the Registration Directory.

We recommend that you setup the Registration Directory at the server's root, or as close to the root folder as possible, as there is a path and file name limitation that if exceeded, can prevent users from being able to open files in the viewer. |
