Resetting data locations to default

Digita FileCabinet stores data location paths in the ZFCPATHS.DAT file in X:\WinCSI\FcabSys (where X is the drive Digita FileCabinet is installed). You may need to rename the ZFCSPATHS.DAT file if you receive a message that indicates the data location is unavailable even when the data location is mapped and accessible from your workstation.
Renaming the ZFCSPATHS.DAT file removes all but the default data locations that have been set up in the System Configuration dialog. No data is removed, but you are required to re-add any additional data locations that have been set up.
Use the following steps to reset your Digita FileCabinet data locations.
  1. Close Digita FileCabinet on all workstations.
  2. Navigate to X:\WinCSI\FcabSys (where X is the drive Digita FileCabinet is installed).
  3. Rename the
    ZFCPATHS.DAT
     file to
    ZFCPATHS.DAT.old
  4. Re-open Digita FileCabinet.
  5. Choose Setup > System Configuration and click the Data Locations tab. The alias should now display as "<default>" and the data location path will be set back to the original installation location.
    note
    If this path is incorrect and you can open Digita FileCabinet, click the
    Add/Modify Data Location
     button to add the correct data location.
  6. If you are still receiving an error message from a workstation, open Digita FileCabinet from the server where it is installed. If you are able to open Digita FileCabinet, add a data location, and then try to open Digita FileCabinet from the workstation again.
If you're still receiving errors after following these steps, verify that the workstation has the correct permissions and drive mappings.
Internal use only
If still getting errors, you may need to receive the CURRENT USER and LOCAL MACHINE registry entries associated with Digita FileCabinet on the machine on which the error is happening.
