Configure Data Manager

This lesson shows how to configure Data Manager 2010.3 or above. This needs to be done the first time after updating to 2010.3 or greater of Data Manager from a 2010.1 or lower version.

Create the soapwaretemp folder

Create the soapwaretemp folder

Open My Computer and browse to your data location. By default, this is C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\, if you chose another location in the installer, go to that folder. Then go to File, New Folder. Name this folder soapwaretemp. So the folder path for soapwaretemp on a default data location would be C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\soapwaretemp.

NOTE: For 64-bit systems, the PostgreSQL default data location will be in C:\Program Files (x86)  instead.

Set Permissions on soapwaretemp

Set Permissions on soapwaretemp

Now that the folder is created, right click on soapwaretemp and go to Properties.

1. Click the Security tab.

2. Select the postgres user.

3. Check Full Control and then click Apply and OK.

NOTE: Windows Vista, 7 or Server 2008 users may need to click Edit Permissions on the Security tab before performing Step 2.
