Changing the storage destination for the import data wizard, BIX, and file listeners

The storage destination is used by the import data wizard, BIX, and file listeners to store files. You can change the location to which the files are written using Dynamic System Settings. For example, for a multi-node system, you can set the destination to a shared location so that a user can access files from any node in the system.

1. Click Create > SysAdmin > Dynamic System Settings.
2. Enter a short description for the setting.
3. In the Owning Ruleset field, enter Pega-ENGINE.
4. In the Setting Purpose field, enter storage/class/defaultstore:/type.
5. Click Create and open.
6. In the Value field, enter the value for the setting. For example, filesystem, aws-s3, or azureblob.
   Note: filesystem is shared only when there is a network drive attached to each machine.
