Change base directory location
The location of the base directory can be changed by using one of the following ways. The preferences are the following: Properties file over system property over environment variable.
Environment variable
By setting the environment variable SCM_HOME e.g.:
export SCM_HOME=/home/scm
/opt/scm-server/bin/scm-serverFor rpm and deb installations the variable can be changed via the file /etc/default/scm-server.
System property
The path can be changed by setting the system property scm.home e.g.:
-Dscm.home=/home/scmProperties file
If SCM-Manager finds a file called scm.properties on the class path it reads the property scm.home e.g.:
scm.home=/home/scm
