Resetting data locations to default

DT FileCabinet stores data location paths in the ZFCPATHS.DAT file in X:\WinCSI\FcabSys (where X is the drive DT 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 DT FileCabinet data locations.

1. Close DT FileCabinet on all workstations.
2. Navigate to X:\WinCSI\FcabSys (where X is the drive DT FileCabinet is installed).
3. Rename the ZFCPATHS.DAT file to ZFCPATHS.DAT.old
4. Re-open DT 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 DT 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 DT FileCabinet from the server where it is installed. If you are able to open DT FileCabinet, add a data location, and then try to open DT 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.
