How To: Change Default Location for Liquibase Enterprise Projects

By default, when creating new projects in the desktop client, Datical will use user's home directory as default location. For example, on Windows, the default project directory would be "C:\Users\<username>\datical". This location may not be desirable. This document guides how to change the default location for your projects to another location, e.g., “C:\Apps\datical”.

Step-by-step guide

1. In your Datical installation directory (“c:\Apps\DaticalDB”), there is a “datical.ini” file. Open this file in a text editor. It will look like this:

   1. -startup
      plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
      --launcher.library
      plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.100.v20110502
      -data
      @user.home/datical
      -clean
      -vm
      jre/bin/javaw.exe
      -vmargs
      -Dlogback.configurationFile=./logging-config.xml
      -DMSSQL_DRIVER_PROPERTIES=./mssql_driver.properties
      -DLIQUIBASE_LOG_LEVEL=INFO
      -Xmx2024m

2. Modify the line #6 to “C:/Apps/datical”.
1. Notice the use of forward slashes instead of backslashes.
3. Save the file. Restart Datical Client GUI.
4. With this change all your new projects will be created in “C:\Apps\datical” directory.
