Resetting data locations to default

FileCabinet CS stores data location paths in the
ZFCPATHS.DAT
 file in
X:\WinCSI\FcabSys
 (where X is the drive FileCabinet CS 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 FileCabinet CS data locations.
  1. Close FileCabinet CS on all workstations.
  2. Navigate to
    X:\WinCSI\FcabSys
     (where X is the drive FileCabinet CS is installed).
  3. Rename the
    ZFCPATHS.DAT
     file to
    ZFCPATHS.DAT.old
  4. Re-open FileCabinet CS.
  5. Choose
    Setup
    System Configuration
     and select 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 FileCabinet CS, select 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 FileCabinet CS from the server where it is installed. If you are able to open FileCabinet CS, add a data location, and then try to open FileCabinet CS 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.
