* = you can define the user environment variable RATL_PQC_PROFILE_DIR to specify a new default location. Use this variable if the default locations for saved files are protected, and you do not have administrative privileges.
Notes:
§ <product> = one of "Purify", "Quantify", or "Coverage".
§ <user profile> = system-returned location for your Windows user profile.
§ Some locations are different when running on Windows Vista. The differences are noted in the table.
§ When you specify a path in the RATL_PQC_PROFILE_DIR user environment variable, files and directories affected by this variable are saved as follows:
§ Product cache directories:
<RATL_PQC_PROFILE_DIR>\Rational\<product>\cache\
§ <exename> files: <RATL_PQC_PROFILE_DIR>\Rational\<product>\PUTs\<munged_<exename>
where <munged_<exename> is a folder name that consists of a modified form of the full path and filename of the program or executable you are running.
For example, for HelloWorld.exe in the following location:
C:\MyProjects\HelloWorld.exe
the folder name would be:
C__MyProjects_HelloWorld.exe
