For a SeqSphere+ Server installed on Windows as Windows Service

Step 2: Shut down the SeqSphere+ server using Windows menu Ridom SeqSphere Server > Stop SeqSphere Service.

Step 3: Create the new directory where the SeqSphere+ server should store the database (e.g., 'E:\seqspheredata')

Step 4: Move the 'data' and 'filestorage' folders (only these two folders!) to the new directory.

Hint: The 'filestorage' folder must be copied to the new directory, even if it is not in the same location as the 'data' folder.

Step 5: Configure the new directory in the server: Edit the file 'C:\Program Files\RidomSeqSphereServer\workingdir.config' with a text editor and replace the path in this file (default is 'C:\seqspheredata') with the new one (e.g., 'E:\seqspheredata').

Step 6: Start the SeqSphere+ server using Windows menu Ridom SeqSphere Server > Start SeqSphere Service and log in with a client to test it.

Step 7: A new license activation may be necessary. Please contact us, if you have any problems when re-activating your license key.

For a SeqSphere+ Server installed on Windows as Application

Step 2: Shut down the SeqSphere+ server by right-clicking on the tray icon in the Windows task bar and choosing Shutdown Server.

Step 3: Create the new directory where the SeqSphere+ server should store the database (e.g., 'E:\seqspheredata')

Step 4: Move the 'data' and 'filestorage' folders (only these two folders!) to the new directory.

Hint: The 'filestorage' folder must be copied to the new directory, even if it is not in the same location as the 'data' folder.

Step 5: Right-click in the Windows menu on Ridom SeqSphere Server > Ridom SeqSphere Server and choose More in the menu, then Open File Location.

Step 6: A directory window will open up. In this windows right-click on Ridom SeqSphere Server and choose Properties.

Step 7: In the upcoming properties window append to the text in the field Target a space character, then the parameter -workingdir, then again a space character followed by the new directory that was created in step 2 (e.g., C:\Program Files\RidomSeqSphereServer\seqsphereserver64.exe -gui -workingdir E:\seqspheredata). Now confirm the properties dialog.

Step 8: Start the SeqSphere+ server using the Windows menu Ridom SeqSphere Server > Ridom SeqSphere Server and log in with a client to test it.

Step 9: A new license activation may be necessary. Please contact us, if you have any problems when re-activating your license key.

Step 3: Create the new directory where the SeqSphere+ server should store the database.

Step 4: Move the 'data/' and 'filestorage/' folders (only these two folders!) to the new directory.

Hint: The 'filestorage/' folder must be copied to the new directory, even if it is not in the same location as the 'data/' folder.

If the server is started with seqsphereserverGUI.sh or seqsphereserver.sh, append the command line parameter -workingdir followed by the new directory.
Else, if the server is started with rcseqsphereserver.sh, create a copy of script file rcseqsphereserver.sh and open it for editing. Enter the new directory as value for the field WORKING_DIR in the configuration section of the script file. Store the script file and use this file for starting the server.
Else, if the server is started as Systemd Service, append the command line parameter -workingdir followed by the new directory to the ExecStart call in the seqsphereserver.service file.

Step 6: Start the SeqSphere+ server service again and log in with a client to test it.
